I had the exact same situation with my Southpaws at the beginning of the summer. At the time, they were languishing in Gold while my other two FTP teams were both in Perfect. I drew 99 Willie Mays in a challenge card pack, sold him for 158k (netting 142k) and went to work upgrading my team. I found some good deals on Vaughan (97) to solidify my infield, and Seymour in my OF. I also upgraded the low perfect cards I had in my rotation to find good deals in starting pitching, getting Newhouser (97) and Sabathia (94).
Yeah, Mays (99) would have been a great center fielder, but making my upgrades allowed my team, who went 77-85 in Gold the year before getting the windfall, to go 105-57 in 2031, then 109-53 in Diamond in 2032, 109-53 again in 2033 in Diamond, winning the Diamond Series.
That team, in Perfect, has been in nine playoffs in nine years.
