Here's a question for you baseball geniuses. Brigadoon has the following players in the infield:

* 100 OVR Cal Ripken, 1B
* 98 OVR Reese, 2B [locked]
* 100 OVR Wagner, SS
* 100 OVR Appling, 3B

I completed some missions, but the Ripken was a pack pull. The question is this: is there a better use of resources than having Ripken at 1st? I know the card sells for > 100k, and I sort of think I could sell it and get a different card that would be about as good a hitter (but worse on defense, but who cares!). Like the 97 OVR Frank Thomas or the 99 Cabrera. Heck, or I could save up and get the 96 Anson, which everyone and his brother loves.

The point is ,I'm not sure I'm 100% sold that having Ripken there is good.

On the other hand - it's a pretty freaking good card and there's a chance that I'll end up with performance that's as only as good or worse when I'm done. Plus it's not clear to me that a team that wants to improve should sell a card like that!

So assuming you could net 110k for the card... if you guys were in this situation would you sell? I have some PP banked but not a ton, if that matters.

Selling a different guy or standing pat are also valid answers! Thanks for any input.
