Ugh. I invested very heavily in 8 players I thought could get the bump from silver to gold. For each one I bought anywhere between 150-600 cards. None of them were upgraded. Now I have to sit on all that for another two weeks and hope these guys keep performing.

I don’t understand why Gausman gets bumped to diamond while others who have a better track record and comparable stats this year are still silver.

In April me and my buddies all went heavy on Glasnow, knowing his talent, underlying metrics, and how underrated he was in the game. I owned 222 of him, the most between us had approx 450... We bought when he was silver. We are all millionaires now... Well, were, I spent mine all last night completing NL and buying all the 42 legends haha.

You need to be patient with investments and your comment on Gausman is very unfair, he was solid last year, probably gold level -- Only Woodruff and deGrom have comparable stats to him especially when you look at how many innings he's gone. Dude has been outstanding... 1.27 ERA in 77 innings with a 0.76 WHIP and 10+ K9 -- if you are arguing against that you are just upset right now or if it is sincere you just don't know what you're talking about.

Yeah, I missed on Glasnow. I bought a few of him when he was a silver. I really didn’t think he would go diamond. This year is radically different than previous years I’ve played in terms of SDS upgrades. In fact a few years ago they actually had a limit of how many LS players were diamond. It was like 25 or something. The rating system was different then too. They really didn’t tweak the ratings so drastically those years. Now it seems like by the end of the season every team will have 3-5 diamond LS players.

With regards to Gausman, I am a lifelong Os fan. I’m not bitter at all about Gausman (or Bundy or any of them) but after seeing him for years it’s just hard for me to believe that he’s really that good. He had so much potential and just couldn’t reach it. I guess with other pitching coaches maybe he was finally able to reach his peak. No question that the Orioles have (in recent history) had no idea how to develop farm hands.
