There are also 4 other Perfect League veterans in the conference, so that's 6 vets competing for 5 spots not to mention any up and comers who may be lurking in the shadows. Noteworthy, is the expansion next week of Perfect League to 60 teams which should ease the pain that Diamond League brings.
One of the vets currently is 3 games under .500 which is noteworthy since they started out in Rookie league with 154 wins and had as many as 119 wins in Diamond in 2038. But that team has 1) only added 3 players since 2023 the last ones being in 2035 and 2) has failed to make Diamond league playoffs 3 years in a row. Which proves you shouldn't blow your funds on your first day. Here is fun screenshot for 100 Carl Hubbell stats in the early years.

Yeah, my FTP team the Washington Justice ended up in a division last week with three teams with 7 Diamond champs between them (no PT level winner though). Ended up getting relegated for the first time in 14 seasons in Diamond being in that slaughterhouse division. If I don't get bounced in the divisional series tomorrow, I should be back up at the diamond level again next week. However, my team is still in flux with several of my diamond starters most likely being bid farewell when the next round of FOTF collection missions come out and I will have to cash in on them. Granted at this point, they aren't nearly good enough to play at Diamond level anymore. I'm still using a lot of will power and holding tight to my perfect points until I clear out my diamond cards on the AH that will belong to the upcoming missions. If I can stick to that plan I should be able to upgrade my roster (most importantly, my pitching staff) with at least 5 to 6 new cards that can compete consistently at Diamond level.
