I am not against themed teams but I need to scope out the players first and make sure there are enough viable choices for that theme. |
I think for a lot of theme teams, you run into some gaps in player quality that are tough to overcome. For example, with the Dodgers, it's lack of Gold-level starting pitchers. There's plenty of Silver, plenty of Diamonds and even a Perfect (Koufax), but overcoming the lack of Gold SP is a tough transition period.
With my Future Legends team, it was having 1 catcher at the time (Mejia) and overabundance of SP that are really Long-Relievers because of middling Stamina. I actually opened my theme to include any rookie cards as well to allow me to cover some of the weaknesses.
