Can you start a poll?

NOt sure Discord can poll, but a poll can work in the forum.

Went with Dierker and Guerrero. Mostly best fit with what I already had. I'm sure I missed something in the ratings of the other 8, but at quick glance they seemed to do the job for now.

Everyone is going to pick to fill their weak spots this early in the game.

Janks · 03-17-2024, 06:10 PM

Dock does have a groovy card.

PocketsAintFull · 03-18-2024, 10:00 AM

Fun to see some older cards, took '19 Dierker and '20 Duffy

(I've been here too long

)

daves · 03-18-2024, 10:16 AM

Doc and Holmes for me.

Picked based on current needs after opening packs.

I went with 1b Guerrero and RP rodney (needed a good RP option)

Pedro had a 3 HR game his second start so looking good early on that one..

Leo_The_Lip · 03-18-2024, 12:16 PM

So if I don't start a team during LW, I don't get to open these packs which are sitting in my three teams right now?

I have not started my first team until AFTER the 1st LIVE card update for several seasons, and I do not plan to change that.

slic1149 · 03-18-2024, 02:25 PM

Picked Perez and Doerr, strong up the middle.

Bluenoser · 03-18-2024, 03:38 PM

I took Pedro Guerrero - I like his bat and his ability to play multiple positions.

Also took Doc Ellis - just because I liked those Pirate teams from the early 70's

Splitter24 · 03-18-2024, 05:03 PM

I took Duffy and some guy in my avatar. Didn't care about team needs. If I did, I would've taken Guerrero. Some day there's going to be a rockin' Tommy Holmes card released in the latter half of the cycle that can stay on the roster.

You do not have to do anything other than open your starter packs to get this pack. You can wait until whenever you want to do anything more (meanwhile your team will be accumulating PP and, if you choose, login packs).

If you do not start during launch week you will not get this pack is my understanding.

Yes, I fuigured that out and made my picks. But today I logged in (for the packs) and one team no longer had my choices on the roster
