So far, the balanced team hasn't had a losing streak longer than 4 games. The small ball team is easily the best overall right now (leading by 5 games and almost double the run differential), but also the streakiest, with an 8-game losing streak and a few others around 4-5 games too. Which makes sense since they are relying on BABIP. The Saber team has been very steady along with the balanced team, they have only had one decently long losing streak of 5 games. So the streakiness is pretty close between those two, but, overall they are less successful.
I just keep finding amazing cards for the SmallBallers. Just added Mike LaValliere and Tony Fernandez to the roster, which both look fantastic. I'm a bit torn on center field though...love Kiermier's glove, but Mickey Rivers bat and legs are calling out to me...decisions to make.
The Saber team is frustrating me right now because I still can't sell that last starter card (Dontrelle Willis) which would inject some much-needed PP for pitching upgrades. But my offense is looking much better with the recent additions hitting dingers (Gallo on pace for 60 or something) and CF shaping up nicely finally, with an Ian Happ/Aaron Hicks combo.
The balancers offense is almost entire silver cards already, mostly because there just weren't the same number of bronzes with those balanced skills available. And they are all producing quite consistently. Just look at my starting lineup production:
That's a thing of beauty. And mostly the guys lower down just have less games. Also fittingly, the Balancers aren't leading the league in anything, or anywhere close. But they also aren't trailing the league in anything. The "no weaknesses" idea does seem to be playing out that way so far.
