I've used my Merry Christmas Honus PP to finish off FF related missions, and I'm sitting with a decent chunk in the bank. I'm in a gold league where I have the 4th best record overall, but still in wild card position (4 teams in my division are .630+ while the rest of the conference is struggling). So it's not necessarily imminent that I'll have an easy path to promotion. That said, I am riding a 19-game win streak and my early hitting slumps are reverting to the mean, so I want to be better prepared for a return to diamond.

Anyway, here's where I'm sitting:

vR: Collins, Gwynn, Speaker, Connor, Brett, Chipper, Mauer, Rose, Vaughan

vL: Collins, Rose, Speaker, Hornsby, Connor, Clemente, Chipper, Pudge, Appling

Rotation: Maddux, R. Johnson, Clemens, Koufax, Seaver

Bullpen: Pedro, deGrom, Willis, Corbin, Rixey, Gooden, Walsh, Spahn

I purchased Connor because I wanted his switch bat and it completed the Brouthers mission, who most are playing. I feel like the obvious upgrades are Rose and Gwynn, but since I'm absolutely KILLING everyone's lefty cheese with this lineup (even the meta pitchers), I'm hesitant to remove a switch bat unless the replacement bat hits same side incredibly well. It's either that or dropping to 12 pitchers. Gwynn is more easily replaceable.

Am I in Cobb/Ruth/Wagner or bust mode in terms of upgrades, or are there smaller tweaks (100-300k) that can move my team in the right direction? For example, is Berra that much an upgrade on Mauer? Do I hold out to find a Cochrane? Are there pitchers that are obvious replacement candidates?
