6/15 - 6/21, Week 13 2032 Season, Gold League G311
This week I tried for more of a power-oriented lineup with high HR park factors. Jimmie Foxx did hit 38 HR's and was among the league leaders, but none of the other hitters did much this year and the wins didn't come. This next week I am changing gears and focusing much more on pitching and defense and adjusted the park factors accordingly. To help with this, I acquired 96 CL Bottalico as a setup man, 95 CF Mantle to allow Ichiro to move to RF and 93 3B Wallach who has a nice combination of power and defense and only set me back 10k PP.
On the tournament/pack front it was a good week. The mission demand on my gold pulls RF Dixie Walker and SP Glavine was high and I was able to sell them for 20k+ each. Those team of the decade missions are no joke!

Featured Card of the Week:
84 One Hit Wonder 1987 3B Randy Ready, Padres
Randy was a utility/depth guy in his MLB career who had a pretty decent bat. His breakout year was indeed 1987 where he hit .309 for the Padres in 350 at bats, both career highs. In OOTP, his card sports some good offense for an 84 gold - especially his gap or eye ratings. His defense is nothing outstanding, but can play 2B, 3B and LF. Not a bad budget player to take a flier on if you have a starter who is really struggling.
