With a lot people taking advantage of the sale right now and people who probably have some card packs to open as they complete missions, it should be a buyers market by mid-point next week similar to last year around this time. Meanwhile, no wildcard birth for me and my Diamond league playoff drought continues, but I hope to finish with 85 wins as I am currently sitting with 77 so far.

Well the Washington Justice may not have gotten into the playoffs but they certainly were the most competitive they have been at Diamond Level since the 2033 season and finished with 90 wins thanks in part to a 13 game winning streak in September. The bullpen was ranked 2nd in the American Conference and the starting staff finished 5th. A lucky card pull of a historical legend Tom Seaver on Tuesday allowed Jose Fernandez to move to the pen where he flourished pitching 78 bullpen innings, striking out 109 and topped it off with a 0.99 WHIP/1.49 ERA. The pitching staff turnaround was also due in part to the auction house addition on Tuesday of FOTF Al Kaline now roaming CF with a trained up 112 rating. Lastly FOTF Craig Biggio continues to prove he is one of the greatest bargains on the AH and finished with a 4.5 WAR rating. So far, he is averaging nearly a 5.2 WAR through 5 full Diamond level seasons. Not bad for the 50K in points I spent on him when he was introduced. The Justice hope to add 4 more high impact players next week by adding 2 more pitchers, another OF and probably one more IF.
