I agree with this. If your goal is to produce the best team and you are funds limited, I think you are always better off selling the expensive card and getting multiple players that can help your team. Although it is fun playing with the cards you don't see in every lineup.

For example, I have a 94 Yaz card, who obviously forms a very important part of my lineup right now on one of my teams. I don't want to get rid of him, but sometimes I do wonder - would I be a better team if I sold him for the ~20k he goes for, and replace him with 2-3 guys who fill in other spots? A lot of times it can make for a better team to have 2 guys who cost 12k each instead of one guy who costs 24k. Or 3 guys at 8k apiece.

So you take that Keuchel, sell him for 20k, buy Kershaw or Thor for 10k, and you have another 10k left to spend to help out somewhere else on the roster. Definitely an interesting strategy, especially if you're limited in what you can spend.
