Another FTP team, but we had a little better luck than you and finished 82-80, just missing the 3rd WC spot. We went 5-1 against you. My team for most of the year was Hoiles/Klu/Stennett/Brooks/Turner/Gordon/McCormick/Guerrero/DiMaggio with a rotation of Tanana, Woodruff, Shields, Gallen, and Castillo. Mid-season I picked up Ford for Shields and Rolen for Turner. And last night with my login Historical pack I was graced with Brian Giles, who chased McCormick to the bench and DiMaggio to CF.

This morning I said goodbye to Stennett and Gordon, and bought Joe Gordon and Carl Crawford - the transaction was a small PP plus for me but mostly it swapped Gordon's amazing LF defense for Crawford's 102 and upgraded my 2B defense to help cover for Brooks. I'm also close to finishing the Cubs' mission for Tinker. But I expect that all these moves will just keep me as a middle of the pack Bronze level team as more and more teams bubble up through the ranks with 4 years worth of improvements. So my projected team for next year will have diamonds Guerrero, Tanana, Woodruff, Ford, Giles, Dimaggio, Crawford, and probably Tinker with two silver relievers and the rest golds.
