I don't have the self-discipline to wait until 3/25, plus the 1st week players have a leg up on getting to perfect. A good team will put you in silver week 1 whereas if you wait until 3/25 sounds like you'll start in iron.

I'm already annoyed by Future Legend Wander Samuel Franco for 20.

100 OVR 91 CON 84 GAP 64 POW 55 EYE 62 AVK and 75 DEF at SS (91 at 2B and can be trained to be a 60+ corner OF)

That's almost like a perfect Honus Wagner. I didn't realize the Rays were so fortunate to have a prospect that is that good.

That's only applicable if you want that head-start. My main team will start on day 1. My other (FTP) teams won't be in any rush to climb as fast as possible and will benefit from a slow journey.

At first, I was going to start all 3 teams on day 1, but now I think I'll wait for two of them and go slowly through iron.

I'm in absolutely NO rush to get to perfect. Just the opposite.

Alright I have moved on from Babe Ruth. I was really excited to acquire that card at the time, thinking his power would help balance my contact-heavy lineup. But it didn't really work out the way I had hoped. So welcome to the team Dan Brouthers. Hopefully he is a better fit for my park and will lead to more consistent results.

It is good that this is the last week because it appears that I will be relegated. It would be difficult to manage the lists etc. without being in the league. This was a playoff team last year but probably shouldn't have been. However, I certainly thought it was better than this and I have no idea why it is 16 games under .500 already. Maybe I should make one those begging for help posts.

I'm getting relegated with you. I find myself saying I have no idea why quite a bit with PT.

Maybe we could go together and hire a PT coach.

A PT coach would be great. I'll split one with you. I've been looking for another way to spend money.

Welcome to the ditch Ruth club.

Don't look back, I'm coming up on you fast...dropped 6 straight....

Dunzie · 03-13-2019, 11:05 PM

Same with my Blue Gryphs! We'll have the peanut gallery old boys club at diamond.

Orcin · 03-13-2019, 11:51 PM

Not so fast, boys. I claimed relegation first, and I am not giving up without a fight.

Screw the World Series... THIS is the battle for the ages in Perfect!!!

In all seriousness I know this is a tough league and I've done well to hit the playoffs a few times... but why my Blue team is tanking and my Gold and Red are treading around water level is beyond me. This team has a AH Buy-Now price tag likely as high as both of them combined!! Goes to show it isn't always about the better players!

Yes For some reason he definitely is not a full time player. He will go 4 for 5 and hit 2 homers and then nothing for a week. He never pulls a team out of a losing streak like someone like Clemente or Guerrero does. ( For my team in certain season like this season)

mcdog512 · 03-14-2019, 08:17 AM

Ruth has his moments....

Yes , He does have those moments that makes you want to keep him for certain road game. (My stadium is not conclusive for homers) I just can not play him as a everyday player and expect to win.

You have AVG for LHB at .900 and HR for LHB at .900, so of course he doesn't hit for high average or a lot of home runs at your stadium.

Then we have the guy whose stadium is AVG 1.100 for LHB and HR 1.000 for LHB... Ruth is a lot better than Clemente there.
