I never saw this thread before or I would have been posting the history of my team here instead of bothering my friends about it. We made the playoffs in each league through gold, although we got wiped out in the first round in gold. I didn't feel ready for Diamond, and have ended up in last place two seasons in a row.

I don't know if I'll be demoted back to gold or still in diamond by tomorrow, but I've decided on a plan or approach to try to improve the team within my budget.

First of all, I'm going to take out the fences and turn my park from a home run park to a pitcher's park like the old Yankee Stadium. I would still keep it close down the right field line but very deep elsewhere.

Second of all, I studied the stats for the league today and wrote down all players who ended up in top ten lists who are silver players. Now I'm trying to attain all of them, I have one left on my list. I'm selling off some diamond players who underperformed and gambling on some silver players with high on base percentages. I'm doing similar things with the pitching staff-- bringing in silver pitchers who have performed well for other teams.

I figure I can't do any worse than finish last again, so it's an experiment. The bandbox stadium worked for us through the gold level but now I'l like to have a pitcher friendly park for at least one season just to see what happens.
