I do have another question. Which players should I focus my efforts on for the Build a Legend reward? I know Pete Rose is playable for the entire time, so I will focus on him first, but not all the cards are for sale, so if I can pick 1 or two more to buy cards for I can grab them as they are available in the auction house. Which cards do you all use in the Diamond and Perfect leagues?

As you can imagine, the best BALs are also the most expensive. Almost all BALs are playable certainly up through gold, and they are also part of the tiered team mission system. I think the best bang for your buck BAL is probably Tony Fernandez - he is playable up to PL and has a lot of position versatility to fill in as you get drops or complete other missions.
If you focus on Rose first that's great if you can find some deals, plus you get a very usable 100 Cueto from the team mission component if you complete that. But know that you could use the same amount of money and likely complete 2-3 other BALs with their own team rewards. If you're taking the "stars and scrubs" approach where every PP you spend goes towards a player that is in the top 2 or so at his position I think that is a valid approach, but until the content updates stop you may end up chasing a player who'll be on your bench in a month or two. If you want to rapidly improve and get to higher levels you're probably better off spreading those resources around a bit.
For pitching guys like Nagy (low STU high MOV/CON) are actually useable up to very high levels but only when backed by a superb defense. If you're getting frustrated because a guy like Maddux or Nagy is getting rocked, it is probably because you're running a mediocre defensive team.
