These are my current resources and prime hitters (also have prime J.A. Happ), and the bxp I could raise via trade-in (all inactives except former POTWs and replacements for May POTMS).
1) Do you guys think I will be able to immediately compete well at gold, and is there a most beneficial day to make the move?
2) Should I go after any more of the current All-Star box, or hold off for another box (hopefully) in another couple days? I bought 5 before fan rewards started (I wanted the gold spent to go toward my stadium) and pulled Pence and Smith (both now capped at s10).
Edit: The first ss shows Happ, but not prime Ohtani, who is now a sub because of pulling Pence. He is also capped at s10.

My current woh lineup. The POTMs would be replaced by Phillies box Hernandez, double-woh Meadows, and Empire box Sanchez, most likely. I also have a couple other 340 max players with stackable skills for woh (Wolters, Beaty, double-hot hitter Deitrich).
Or do you think it is better to cap 1 prime (Pence or Bell?), And work one at a time?
@UltimateWarrior, my most likely active roster for most formats. I could shuffle in Beaty, Wolters, and maybe a couple others for woh, if the matchups are better. This would be after POTMs drop, and assuming I don't add back some June POTMs.
Edit: all skills at 6 or 7, except keepers. They are only at 2 or 3 each.
This is how my active roster fleshed out after bonus game day. Made it into gold 4. I ended up trading in a lot more inactives than I had hoped, but managed to get this far, and still keep all 340 max hitters, and a couple 325 maxes with useful double skills. All pitchers that were not former POTWs were casualties, though.
Thanks for all the advice, @UltimateWarrior, @Bigpredfan, @retirepujols, @CanadaCubs, and @2003cobra.
@Tdub71 You will do great during WOH on Monday. Really nice start to your gold team.
Is LeMahieu worht holding on to, or is it safe to trade him for the pxp. I already have Pence as my lefty-killer, and about to cap him at g10. I also have POTM LeMahieu...
Forgot the bullpen...
After this weekend, I am going to try to just squirrel away resources for the harsh winter that is the move though platinum. I will probably camp at gold for a few weeks, then press on...
I just went gold on Thursday, so team upgrades have had to suffer, since I didn't bring enough blue cash (2.7 mil, or so, to start the move). Hitting Coach, Trainer, and Clutch are maxed, and Base Coach at 50/60. The rest are still only 40/60.
