Another member of the "grind hard" squad! Nice team man...wow you've knocked out some epics.

Still got some camo batting gloves to sell so I'll probably pick up Scherzer/Kershaw/Blue if I can get there somehow. Just waiting to see what Friday brings.

1. AS Chase Utley (90) - 2B
2. CAP Johnny Bench (89+) - C

8. BO Ken Griffey Jr. (88) - RF

I've considered getting a true leadoff hitter and Altuve came to mind, but Utley has hit so well for me in Ranked Seasons I don't know if I can justify buying Altuve when I don't really need to. Johnny Bench and Trout are staying in the lineup for the rest of the year. Freeman is the best lefty hitter in the game for me, so he'll stay there until I get Immortal Musial or Ruth. Hitters 5-7 won't be moved until Immortals come out.

Bench:
LF IV Chipper Jones (85)
2B IV Brian Dozier (86)
LF HW Albert Pujols (87)
CF FS Victor Robles (87)
CF LS Billy Hamilton (77)

Rotation:
PS Bret Saberhagen (90)
AS Don Sutton (90)
IV Nolan Ryan(89)
AS Felix Hernandez (88)
LS Noah Syndergaard (86)

Bullpen:
LS Josh Hader (83)
LS Dellin Betances (82)
LS Felipe Rivero (81)
LS Roberto Osuna (84)
IV Billy Wagner (88)
AS Trevor Hoffman (89)
HW Eric Gagne (96)

I'm still working on conquest extreme to get that 92 OVR Matt Kemp. I'll most likely switch BO Griffey Jr. with Kemp once I get him. I can also make some upgrades to my bench starting with completing the Bat Autograph colletion and earn 90 OVR Willie Stargell. Other than that I'm very happy with my team. They can mash and are elite defensively, imo there's not much room for improvement roster-wise until Immortals come out.

Updating because my lineup's gotten a whole lot better in a short amount of time thinks to some program completions:

Rotation:

Noah Syndergaard (LS)
Cole Hamels (AS)
Anibal Sanchez (IV)
Gerrit Cole (LS)

5th slot is pretty interchangeable - BO Estrada, LS Archer, FS Romero, LS Ohtani are all candidates.

Bullpen

MR - Carl Edwards Jr. (LS)
SU1 - John Axford (BO)
SU 2 - Nolan Ryan (PS)
CP - Craig Kimbrel (LS)

Lineup

2B - CAP (89 OVR, contact focus)
SS - Ian Desmond (AS)
RF - Billy Williams (AS)
LF - J.D Martinez (LS)
C - Gary Carter (AS)
1B - Orlando Cepeda (IV)
3B - Eugenio Suarez (LS)
CF - Jim Edmonds (AS)

Desmond, Suarez, and Edmonds are the only non-diamond bats in that lineup and I seem to hit well with all 3 of them.

Bench

Victor Robles (FS) Speed/Defensive sub (Outfield)
Scott Kingery (FS) Speed/Defensive sub (Infield)
Francisco Mejia (FS) Backup catcher (Is that even a thing in RS...? Oh well)
Mark Reynolds (BO) Game-changing power bat, prone to strikeout
Luis Gonzalez (BO) Because I'm not leaving an 87 OVR off my team

I can't see too many more big upgrades for a while unless I luck into some diamond LS's or somehow manage to progress in Conquest Extreme. I'm exchanges away from AS Hanley but he has issues vs lefties and platoons are so hard to deal with in DD. Everything else is far away.

Getting the CAP to max was a big weight off.

I just got Gleyber Torres from the programs...not gonna lie I am probably gonna drop that program Hanley for him. Guy hits like a maniac for me. Definitely worth doing the program - you can grind out Torres in less than 5 games, there’s a bunch of AL SS’s that play all over the field.

Man I dropped that Diamond Hanley awhile a go and have been rolling with his Gold Card. No idea why but I hit WAY better with the gold card. And I’ll second the Torres card. He’s a beast.
