Yes, you can take your time with everything and save a few PP by using buy orders instead of quick buys. It's also gotten a little more expensive with the release of All-Star and trade deadline missions, but overall it is still a very good road map and will get you a dominant team through the lower levels of PT.

This team build (Wherever Whatevers) won the championship in Rookie, Stone, and Iron leagues and is currently 55-23 in Silver .252. This is Week 7 of league play, they've made the playoffs every week, and finished first five times.

Current lineup:

Ca - Ted Simmons (100) - BAL mission completion
1B - Mark Teixeira (98) - pack pull
2B - Ben Zobrist (100) - BAL mission completion
3B - Alex Bregman (98) - purchase toward Topps mission completion
SS - George Davis (100) - BAL mission completion
LF - Fred Lynn (100) - Baseball Ref mission completion
CF - Mookie Betts (100) - Topps mission completion
RF - Reggie Smith (100) - BAL mission completion
DH - Johnny Mize (100) - Baseball Ref mission completion

SP - Fergie Jenkins (100) - pack pull
SP - Carl Hubbell (100) - Baseball Ref mission completion
SP - Robin Roberts (100) - BAL mission completion
SP - Mickey Lolich (100) - BAL mission completion
SP - Johan Santana (100) - Live Complete

Bullpen is Rube Foster (100), Bryan Harvey (99), Sam Leever (99), Bobo Newsome (96), Noodles Hahn (95), and Jim St. Vrain (91).

Bench is Joe Mauer (100), Ross Barnes (100), Lance Berkman (97), Ralph Kiner (97), Mo Vaughn (94), and Marwin Gonzalez (88).

edit: note that this team was helped a lot by cashing in about 275,000 PP over the course of the last two live updates, and by pulling LE Fergie Jenkins, who's gone 79-20, 2.65, 21.6 WAR over his three-plus seasons.
