I could sell off long time Terrier Sal Bando (who's been terrible for 10 seasons) since he happens to be selling for a whopping 17,000 in the AH because he's a crucial piece of the "Charlie O's Oakland A's" collection mission that scores a 98 Vida Blue card.
If I made this move, Aparicio would take back full-time SS duties, and Manny Machado would start training up at 2b where he's currently a zero. Machado has the ratings to eventually get into the 80's at second, but he might blow our chances at the playoffs while he bumbles around out there.
Should I sell Bando and take my chances with a ton of card packs? Or focus on the playoff run and worry about Bando later?
(This is why I have Terrier pee-puddles outside my office door every morning when I show up at the Dog Park....they hate when I think about stuff)

my 2 cents.... sell! sell! sell!
it's hard to say no to a dump-truck full of money when a player is selling for significantly over their typical price; and if you aren't planning to shoot for that mission, might as well profit from it (did that selling Ted Lyons and basically turned him into Dizzy Dean, SE -George Sisler and SE - Paul Dean with the proceeds)..... and while Machado might be 0 currently at 2B, I would think he'd gain pretty quickly (the last high level ratings will take some time, but he should get to a decent level pretty fast)
