So!

Raccoons survived their 3-way tie for a relegation spot in Perfect and remain in that league, but probably no more clever than before. Of the three perfect starting pitchers only one remains; Big Walt will always be perfect and always mine! DeGrom dropped to 99, and Sale was sold for PP to drive missions (and he wasn't impressive in Perfect, either…). The offense remains horrendous although I tried to address things already with Joe Gordon (who is also a better defender than McNeil at second; overall the game does Jeff McNeil no justice at all...), but also tried to sell Mel Ott, but couldn't get a price I deemed good enough.

The Rebels remain in Bronze. They lost all four of their diamond cards to real live attrition (Greinke, Rizzo, Bogaerts, Stanton were all a flat 90 last week), yet somehow went up in value… but not necessarily in capability. No matter who I put in that pen, they will pretty reliably get slashed as long as they play in the majors at all. Maybe that is the trick to basic decency; gobble up all the players that undergo Tommy John surgery during Spring Training - that's gonna be a steady pen!

Accountants have promoted to Silver in their second season in Bronze (they spent one season in Iron). They had no diamonds last Monday, they have five now. Only one has gone up from gold - "Polar Bear" Alonso, who with his crushing home runs one day will certainly deliver humanity to safety from their selfmade doom … SOMEHOW. The other four I either bought for my own enjoyment from trade earnings or tried to sell for profit but couldn't. I finally need to stitch a pen together for this team and they might go straight to Gold League! I have 10k PP for this purpose. ...or I could do some more eye gouging and other stuff as was hinted at in the other thread.
