Who Would you Buy?
I have 450K and I'm looking to upgrade my starting rotation. I currently have:
99 Walter Johnson 98 Vida Blue -------------------------------- 97 Dolf Luque 97 Dave Righetti 97 Phil Niekro ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Additionally, I am open to suggestions elsewhere to upgrade my team: C 100 Cochrane C 100 Bench 1B 94 Sisler 2B 98 Gehringer 3B 98 Vaughan SS 100 Jackie Robinson LF 94 Ruth CF 100 Trout RF 98 Frank Robinson DH 98 Ted Williams Bench 100 Eric Davis Bench 97 Scott Rolen Bench 94 Craig Biggio --------------------------------------------------------- My bullpen is: CL 99 Eckersley SU 96 Papelbon SU 99 Sutter SU 96 Joe Nathan MR 97 Kershaw MR 97 Newhouser MR 95 Satchel Paige ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- In terms of who I am looking at, I am interested in 100 Roger Clemens, 99 Clarkson, and/or 96 Eppa Rixey. I am considering upgrading my Ruth to 100 Ruth, and/or replacing 94 Biggio on my bench. I appreciate any help or suggestions you have for me. The advice you gave me last time I made a post like this helped me make the playoffs 10 seasons in a row! |

You should buy an ace starter. If it were me, I would spend it all on perfect Cy Young.
Here's mine... 6 PotY awards, 2 MVP awards... park is neutral with HRs at 1.04 in recent years. |

Pitching is the direct path to improvement, especially with that kind of money.
Have you considered platooning some of your players? This could further inform some of your purchasing decisions (or not, since it might even make since to insert Biggio and Rolen into these roles with the 2 lefty starters in your IF)

Rolen is my defensive sub for IF as hes >90 at every infield position. I could try to replace Biggio with someone that could platoon well in the infield offensively, but I'm not sure who would be a great fit. Like you said, pitching is probably the weakest part of my team right now, so that was my main focus! |

Rixey has been great for me, so that would be a solid pick (replace Righetti with him).
I would look at using 100 Jackie to platoon with Gehringer and get a solid defensive SS like Dahlen or Ozzie. Jackie could also backup Sisler at 1B.. |

I bought 90 Ozzie as a backup infielder to replace Biggio, and upgraded my Ruth to 100 Ruth. I have about 350K left now. I think Rixey is in that price range, but Cy Young is more expensive correct?

I still think platoons would significantly benefit your team. Gehringer isn't particularly good against lefties. This is easily covered up in his overall stats by how well he does against RHP. I recommend checking everyone's splits to make sure they are consistently performing up to your standards.

Try to buy the new peek Ozzie Smith. Instant upgrade to defense, batting and running.

I got the 90 rated Ozzie as a bench/utility player. Cant afford the new PEAK one. I'm still trying to add one Ace caliber pitcher (probably Eppa Rixey) and am deciding between a Nap Lajoie or Hornsby upgrade at 2B for Gehringer, or moving Jackie back to 2B and getting a new SS

There is a Curt Schilling Legend and a Pete Alexander Legend for 480K combined.
That would be an amazing upgrade and you could move PP around to get those. That is what I see in the current AH |

PeAk. With an A. You're not peeking at these cards, you're enjoying their peak performance.

How do they compare to someone like Eppa Rixey or Waite Hoyt? |

Peak NAP is a spray line drive hitter with a better eye and defense and is a good 300 hitter with a 350 OBA in a Perfect league. Hornsby can be your cheaper better option?
