#1 - I think SP with more pitches will do better, but they does not mean that they are "lights out" better.

#2 - Bogus claim. Your 100+ contact hitters may underperform when most teams in the league are playing with similar cards.

#3 - So what? Some bright guy figured out that cards with high eye and high power would destroy opposing pitching staffs leading to these kinds of scores in game 3 or game 4 of a series. In past versions, earning 300K or 400K in achievement points in Rookie league was possible. My own anecdotal complaint is that when I win a game like this, the next game the only rested pitcher on the opposing staff will pitch a complete game shutout and win 1-0.

#4 - False, you're making things up. However, I do believe in iron you can be successful with many different cards at every position. You don't need Babe Ruth 58, or even Kingman to succeed. The key is volume. Spam tournaments all day long and you win your share if you have a reasonable team.

#5 - I can agree with this, but so what? Don't bother with difficult tournaments or with tournaments that require a 500K roster!! Why should every tournament be accessible to the masses? Players play because they enjoy figuring out the "meta", not because they expect a 100% return on PP invested. Same thing can be said for missions--they are too expensive for value received. So, I don't bother with them, but I do very much enjoy selling irons for 2K and up to the players that enjoy missions.
