Ewa Beach and Luckenbach move to Perfect, so I think we lose 2 and gain 4 in Diamond. I will update my friends list.

Here's the corrected standing. Sad news for Tacoma Aroma, they are not the champion this season. I apologize for making them happy and then sad in half a day. Texas Strangers is the true champion!

Wooooo! The Auckland Athletics went from 4th to 3rd!

Wait, no we didn't. Complete brainfart on my end. 4th to 4th.

I don't make any changes there because I am not the one who created it.

Like Yogi said, "It ain't over 'til it's over." Congrats. I have no Strangers logo.

[Stanley Kuppchaser]

Let's not leave anyone behind!

How was your silver Scherzer? (HRs?) Time to look for a SP with higher movement?

How was your silver Rose? I have had good luck with the Gold card but on some teams it is hard to find a long term position for him due to weak defense.

I tend to focus on Pitching first but it can backfire since it can also get you promoted faster and then you lack the hitting to keep up.

Nice problem to have....10k to spend on new talent.

Ask them to add KushielRM to their friends' list tonight.

Wow. I can’t wait to take a look at them. Hope you still have some points saved up for future improvements.

PT has a few ceilings in the game. One of them is the gold to diamond pitching one.
The initial one is not too bad but then it takes 30-50K for better upgrades.
The Renton Dragons team is stuck in that stage. Kiddo tried to collect enough points but then decided to get some packs and did not get any real upgrades.
He is happy though. He fought off relegation and competed for a few days.

Posting the B232 playoff result in case it is needed.

[Edster007]

Hampton Roads Rush completes the double

[Edster007]

San Pedro has added Crusaders13-Redmond Crusaders to its friend list. I can't find record of any other teams coming out of entry I need to add for the coming season.

Are there any I am missing?

I have a lot of suggestions below. One of the great things about OOTP is that you can make these changes over time; no need to upgrade everyone at once (other than our natural impatience). So here we go!

At higher levels I find guys with yellow contact ratings tend to do poorly (HoJo is my poster child for this). I would say try to upgrade the guys in that position - Fielder, Versailles, (will check others). For 1B you have a lot of choices depending on whether you want to go more contact-hitter or more longball hitter.

Contact:
83 OVR Carew
77 OVR Keith Hernandez (I *think* that's the good one)
heck I've played the 69 OVR Carew there - he gets up to the mid 50s in defense and he hits like crazy, and is cheap

Longball
89 McCovey
78 Cecil Cooper -was cheap before collections came out
78 F Howard if you care not at all about defense

I don't find the combination of Campaneris and Versailles to be a good one. Campaneris is only green at SS and Versailles has too low contact. If you're going to go with a green SS then pick someone who can hit better. like the 89 OVR Yount (was around 4.5k before collections). Or if defense is more important there's the 82 Concepcion, 82 Tony Fernandez, or the 78 Groat, who is also a great hitter there.

In LF you can do better than Bo Jackson, I think. There's a ton of guys who can make better contact who are rated green/blue in LF. I'd start looking for one of them. The cost for a guy like that is in the 2k range (since there are tons of them). Heck you can take the 69 OVR Tony Gwynn and train him up to 95 in LF if you wanted, that card is relatively cheap and will hit for you forever.

If Dom DiMaggio is a defensive sub he's great. If he's playing more than that, it's not too great.

I actually find Silver Scherzer and Rose both to be very good cards. I was going to upgrade Scherzer on one of my teams but I ended up moving him to the bullpen. And the Rose card has very good defense in LF. Both of those guys were/are on my Venusville team, whose philosophy is "don't replace a player until it's clear he isn't performing any more"

[Edster007]

Here is the layout for Bronze

[Edster007]

And here is Iron 207. I can compile for Iron again this week. After this week however I am on the road for work and realistically won't be able to contribute again until July 22nd.
