So...How's Everybody Doing in PT 27?

[Dr.Drill]

I got crushed in Diamond and Low Diamond tourneys last year.

Now I sell almost all LIVE and historic Diamonds to build income to finance my Silver habit. Literally the same tourney rewards but you can own 98% of all Silver cards without breaking the bank.

My 2-3 month purgatory in main PT almost done (now getting to 100% Perfect). Just Tubby, Wilson and Joe left.

Ah, yes, the George Van Haltren-driven economy.

Trea Turner/Jeff Bagwell disappoint every year. But Tubby is God's gift to humanity.

Jimmy Ryan, Willie Wells, Eddie Collins, and Davey Lopes are some of the other good ones. Terry Shumpert can hit and fill a bench role.

Shumpert got 85 steals against 25 caught my 3 years in HG. Excellent at #1 in lineup.

I had him as a regular at second base for a couple of my teams earlier this year, and he always hit well in the one or two slot. At this point, the Lopes card is a better choice for a similar price.

2B in bad place right now. 120+s needed for defense..

Kinsler only hits Lefties but turns DPs like a banshee. Dobie already on SS. Cano can't run.

Can you get a better SS and move Dobie to 2b?

Where's Jackie?

[Dr.Drill]

Jackie excellent choice but rarely for sale.

Mantle would be hilarious SS.

Jackie isn't a buy card, he's an earn card. Look over the rewards for the missions. Many Historical Diamond packs, and you get the Perfect Jackie as a topper. Diamond Jackie is within reach at the Clubhouse, and that plus the 100 missions will get you a Historical Perfect pack, too.

Yep, I should have added I can't make the math work for me ie, cost to complete the missions less reward value > L10. Or at least that's the math I use. Over 1,300 packs opened and only at 1/6 on that final mission.

Main team has plateaued at High Gold. Good enough to play .600 ball there, not good enough to stick in Low Diamond (two trips, two 86-loss seasons). New team clubbed the Iron competition as expected (139 wins and the championship) and is playing .600 ball at High Silver after a super-promotion. Also having some success in Iron tournaments, grabbing 100 CS and four tournament wins so far.

Not really debating whether I should acquire Diamond Jackie to complete the mission for a Historical Rainbow. Too much fear that I'll pull a Derringer or no-mission reliever who isn't as good as Betances or Hoffman. Different story if it drops to 40 CS, but 65 is still a bit high. I can wait, as I'm still sitting on 40K points with a team that's in first place...unless I'm enticed by some new cards on Thursday.
