I'm curious if anyone was able to get him from the last slugger event. I made it to level 8, round 8, to face Brett Boone (122 slugging), and spent over 10k in gold trying to beat him with an event buster yeonis cespedes (106 slugging, only one higher available was 108), max stat boost and retries. I must have tried 10 times before I was cashed out, of those only one time did he score under 7100 and I lost by 1 foot, even if I had won I can't imagine beating 2 more sluggers that are even more powerful than 122.

However, this week I kept checking the list of available Busters and none over 108 ever appeared. Does anyone know how folks (myself included) were able to get 122 Pujols as an option last week, but never saw him come up this week? The conspiracy theorist in me thinks that they only make him available after you spend gold on boosts and still fail out a few times, but I didn't want to waste gold this week trying to figure it out (not any more than I had already wasted on about 50 buster boxes).
This was my experience during the Ortiz event as well. The difference is, I failed out a couple times on the final level using 108 Harper with full boosts every time. After that I hit that "info" button by the Buster Box and saw that 122 Pujols was in the list, so I bought a ton of those boxes until I got him. That made it a much more manageable level.
I have no idea what triggered 122 Pujols to be available, if anything. During the Bagwell even I bought hundreds of Buster Boxes thinking if you got the top 4 guys available then he'd be an option (or someone else in the 120's), but that didn't work. I attempted the final level with 108 Harper and full boosts again, just like last time, and still didn't see a better Buster in the list.
Did they remove that additional option to make it harder? Or did I miss something that might have triggered the availability of a next-level Buster slugger?
