You've been ridiculously lucky. I'm up to about 8 packs and I've pulled a single Gold card (which honestly I think is a pretty decent ratio).

I've bought 10 packs, 1 gold so far.

If I now one thing in my life, then that I should not rely on odds to get anywhere. I like those 1:1 chances on getting a gold.

Next week.

Store screenshot on your hard drive, attach file with "Manage Attachments" under Additional Options, select file from hard drive, and let the fun begin.

The good thing about being at work all day is that I can't obsessively check my team constantly, wondering if I earned any points in my last game, whether I should switch up the lineup or relievers, try and find an affordable upgrade on the market, etc.

That all starts after I get home

I actually miscounted. They are indeed pulling fewer than *10* PP per game.

15-20 overall, last in division, and I can actually easily list all my Rookie League achievements here:

2 Walkoff Homers (1954 Minnie Minoso, 2001 Ichiro)
2 Leave Them Loaded (Cam Bedrosian, Jerry Vasto)
1 Double Dinger (2003 Alfonso Soriano)
1 Hit Machine (Minoso)

Wheeee!

My team's started the season off 12-27. That's Baltimore Orioles bad (they had the exact same record at this point too!). I'd be the worst team in the league but there's a team without a complete roster that's started 3-36.

Need to rethink my approach.

Trying to be patient and save my money after I used all my initial funds. Team is 25-14 which is cool, in the test season we were like 1-7. Only at 2500 points so need to collect some more achievements.

Where do you see your achievements in an easy to read/day to day screen? I saw some people post a log but I can't find it.

The overview tab of the perfect teak home screen (accessed via main menu)? Or perhaps the awards and achievement page accessed through the main menu as well.

I work from home, so it is off on my laptop kind of out of sight during the day, but I can swivel around to take a look.

Team is still performing well. 29 - 12 and 9 1/2 games up on 2nd place. I've added a rookie Charles Robertson to my rotation in place of Cueto in the 5 spot, and Glavine - Arrieta - Cone - Buchholz are continuing to do a superb job. Amazing considering they are all bronze except for Glavine.

[Maddox]

Okay, I made it home to find that I basically played .500 ball while I was away.

My team, which was top 5 in home runs out of 60 teams in the entry league can't seem to hit any over the wall.

Hoping my offense can climb out of the funk. I feel like they are better than they are performing, almost across the board.

Found out the reason I can't find it, my screen apparently isn't big enough and there's no scroll option to get me down there:

I was wavering about the value of Mike Trout. I could get so many points by auctioning him off. But he is on pace for about a 13 WAR, a lock as the MVP. Wonder how many points an MVP trophy is worth?

the amount of achievements he's probably earning you will probably amount to way more than you could ever sell him for

Another good point. His 13-game run streak got me 900 and he's picked up hundreds more.

Yeah... Just got 3 more packs and got 1 silver out of it. Well that's the way it should be, really. Packs are like a box of chocolate....

[Whoofe]

hovered around .500 in the "pre" season

hovering around .500 in this one as well

I checked the guy leading my division, and he has pretty much half golds and half silvers and a diamond. I have 4 silvers and 2 gold, and nothing but bronzes in my rotation. so I feel my team is holding up well considering the competition

Yes, it's definitely possible to compete without the expensive cards. My team has only 1 Gold, 7 Silver, and the rest Bronze. Sitting in first place with a 28 - 17 record.

The team in last place in my division has 3 Diamond, 3 Gold, 7 Silver, and the rest Bronze.
