Nice! Forgot about those. Much nicer than Topps did them! By the way, Terra Incognita will definitely be joining Our League for next week, while I still have time to spend on them. Their pack luck has been moribund, and they've stop scoring decently in tourneys. They seem to get bumped just before the money round.
I've added - FOL to the nickname so you'll know them this season. Clayton Kershaw just out-dueled Mike Mussina to continue Asylum's "streak" against OL teams. They're now up to 10-20 against OL.
I think I'm hurting them because I'm training guys for next week. Their good historical pulls have all been DH types. I'm hoping to get Pete Ward up to at least less than cringe status at first. They pulled George Grantham for 1b, but I'm trying to get him up to passable at third. He's actually a 51 at second on his card, so I hope I can get him to there at third. The other DH type is Danny Tartabull Jr, whose limit at any position is probably about 10, but he can rake.
They do have a diamond, seven golds, and 11 silvers of the live variety to sell, so I'm guardedly optimistic. I will also cull their bronze a bit to squeeze whatever I can, and make my screen more pleasing to my eye. I'm gonna keep enough bronze for that to be their tourney team.
The Rustlers were the one team I actually did something right for. When it turned out that their collection (I did one per team) was going to be Chuck Klein, I was patient and it paid off. I think he ended up just a bit north of 4000. Of course, the fact that the team produced way less PP than the other two was a helpful restraint. I had little to waste.
