My Winterfell Direwolves are solidly entrenched in last place in their diamond league. They probably deserve to be relegated. They still have a couple bronzes on the team and, if I am not mistaken, only have a single diamond (Severino). They were also built with no consideration to defense.
The Macon County Cardinals are in 3rd place in their gold league and have a .500 record. I think a themed team based on the Cardinals was a bad idea. What diamonds the team have are all historical and overly expensive (Pujols, Dizzy Dean, Bob Gibson, etc) and the relievers available are mostly a sad lot.
The Hungry Hippos started out slower this year and are struggling a little on offense but they came around late yesterday and managed to take a 2 game lead in their bronze division.
I will admit at this stage that the Hippos are the team I am most paying attention to. The Cardinals and the Direwolves are at the point where meaningful upgrades are expensive. It can take 3 plus weeks to earn the points needed to purchase one upgrade for the team. And one upgrade won't make either team instantly competitive in their current leagues. It is at this stage next year where I could see tournaments becoming more of a draw.
