What does your lineup look like?

I need some advice, boys. I want that Tiant card in my life, but it will cost me Trout to get him. If you were me with the team above, would you sell Trout (moving Ruth to RF and Encarnacion to 1B) to get Tiant? Or would you hold onto the Fishman and roll with the starting lineup I currently have?

Pros
-Add the best pitcher on the market, who happens to be an Indians player, matching the theme of my team
-Drawing Tiant in RS will be close to an automatic win with that pitch mix, velocity, and per 9s
-Encarnacion moves back into the lineup, and he's mashed for me since day 1

Cons
-Trout is essentially an Immortal, and losing him hurts my speed, defense, and hitting
-Tiant's price is going to be outrageous, so making future improvements may prove difficult
-Trout plays every game, and Tiant would only play approximately 1 in 5

Nick can you imagine how sick it'd be if you bought a 50 pack with your earnings tonight, and pulled a Trout, so that you can keep him AND get Tiant? Because I absolutely see it happening

Don't do this to me, man! Don't pull me into your world any further!...but you're probably right. It's gotta be at least 50/50 I pull a Trout, right?

For some reason I'm still playing, and before I make some changes to my team, I wanted to memorialize the best version of it after two runs to World Series. This is as close to perfect as my Indians & Immortals squad got:

C Napoli
1B Encarnacion
2B Alomar
3B Ramirez
SS Lindor
LF Belle
CF Immortal Griffey
RF Lofton

BN Immortal Ruth
BN Doby
BN V Mart
BN Joe Carter
BN Vizquel

SP Immortal Ryan
SP Immortal Seaver
SP Tiant
SP CC Sabathia
SP Bob Feller

RP Nenn
RP Hand
RP Sutter
RP Hoffman
RP Miller
RP Gagne
CP Immortal Wagner

EDIT: Since this post, I've added PS Hershiser, Immortal Feller, Immortal Berra and Immortal Brett. At the end of the month I'll have Immortal Musial, and then I'm eyeing Immortal Eckersley next

Well done nick, that's a nice squad and it sounds like you had fun. Maybe I should make a Marlins theme team for next year......but that **** would be miserable LOL


I feel like this game might be more fun if this group of guys play each other more next year. Maybe that'll make us hate each other lol, but my experience was a lot more enjoyable when I spent it playing against friends instead of grinding vs the CPU nonstop.

Back again because kind of a lot has changed. I was out of the country for two weeks and when I got back, I decided to sell Tiant and Ohtani. Good thing I did, because they're worth about half of what I sold them for. I was sitting on a million stubs hoping for some awesome Indians Finest cards, and SDS delivered. Lindor, Ramirez AND Bauer?! Then I realized that if I got lucky with my Finest packs from the program, I might be able to get the almighty Immortal Fishman. Fate was on my side...I pulled Edwin Diaz which put me over the hump.

My all-time Indians/Immortals team is now officially insane. Far better than I ever could have imagined it would be with no money spent. I'll be adding Immortal Musial at the end of the month. Here's how the final god squad looks. This will definitely keep me playing for a few more weeks at least, even with Red Dead Redemption 2 dropping Friday. I can't wait to use all these new cards!

C Immortal Yogi
1B Immortal Ruth
2B Finest Ramirez
SS Finest Lindor
3B Immortal Brett
LF Albert Belle
CF Immortal Griffey
RF Immortal Trout

BN Immortal Musial
BN Encarnacion
BN Napoli
BN Winfield
BN Lofton

SP Immortal Feller
SP Immortal Ryan
SP Immortal Seaver
SP Finest Bauer
SP PS Hershiser

RP Sutter
RP Finest Hader
RP Hoffman
RP Finest Diaz
RP Gagne
RP Immortal Wagner
CP Immortal Eckersley
