6/29 - 7/5, Week 15 2034 Season, Diamond League D360

It was a successful week as the Trojans managed to narrowly win the division with a .515 percentage, but lost in the division series 3-2. But the big news this week is the introduction of the new Tournament Bounty Board, which I strive to work on for many weeks to come. In addition, this was a great week for pulls - netted 98 Negro League SS Pop Lloyd and then the next day followed it up with 96 CL K-Rod! Even though Lloyd is overpriced due to the Negro set, I'm electing to go with him rather than sell, at least for now.

Featured Card of the Week:
98 Negro League SS Pop Lloyd
Was so elated to pull this card this week. He is going to be a big asset for tournaments because he also has good 1B, 2B, 3B and RF position skills and is stellar at the infield spots. I won't get into trying to absorb and relay Lloyd's great Hall of Fame career or this could get really long. But suffice it to say he was one of the greatest shortstops ever, and probably one that is still underrated both in real life and PT. In PT his ratings are a bit like the SS version of Ichiro, so quite valuable.
