The only one I personally would even consider leveling is LeMahieu (I could use a better 2B and his skills are great), but there is no way I'm paying $20 for a player that I would then have to spend a boat load of gold on to get the resources necessary to level him. If Glu wants to give me a capped version of LeMahieu for $20, I would at least consider it. But at bronze 1, that's a hard pass.
I think Locastro is a no-brainer if you are going to buy one. BXP, doesn’t play every day, only 3 games left and he’s only attempted 17 steals in 88 games this year. So he may not even attempt one the rest of the way
That's what I liked when they did this for the All-Star Game. I think they were $4.99 apiece and would have been close to top-of-the-market players if they hit, so you could view it as something of a gamble. But at $10 and $20 a pop? And with 6 new legends being released in boxes every single week that are all better than what these guys would be even if they hit their marks? That's not a gamble, that's just needlessly throwing away money in my opinion.

Its seems unlikely they would ever do this, but I have to wonder how much different the actual sales on the player would be if they did. I would think more people would buy and that would more then offset what they would make in theoretical resources for leveling the player. But i guess thats just my take, who knows
That double "down or up by 4" attribute is worthless.
Yes, we are aware of the game having crashing issues in the middle of WoH, but we can't compensate you for the gold you lost at this time. This is done on a case by case basis. - TSB Customer Service

I don't think he is blue xp. It's says "chance for prime". He's just missing a banner I think.
If they wanted to do this right, they would make these guys cost BXP now with a big jump in OVR if they hit their marks. I would be *much* more willing to spend real money on a guy that may or may not jump to a 440 Prime if I knew I could level him with BXP and then hope he gets bumped to prime later. That seems to be what they are doing with Locastro, but he would only jump to a 400 prime, which just isn't something I would be willing to pay for (you can get one free every Wednesday in Royale). Make him jump from BXP to 440 Prime and I would strongly consider it (assuming the skills didn't suck).
The ironic thing is that these types of sales have to be marketed toward silver and gold level players (who can level them without blinking an eye, and thus are only gambling on a big OVR bump). But those players are significantly less likely to drop $20 on a single player than guys in platinum and diamond, who are much more likely to be heavy in-game spenders and theoretically would be much more likely to drop this kind of money on a gamble. Seems backwards to me. They should either target platinum/diamond players by offering an easier way to level them, or they should target more casual players by dropping the price to $2.99 or so and looking for volume.

Yea I agree with all of the above. If I get DJ then I would just be 1 OFer short of being able to have a full Yankees lineup. A couple of them wouldn’t be prime tho. But not worth the $20 price tag if there’s no guarantee for max 440 overall
Does anyone have a screen shot of the specials page with the offer? It didn’t say anything about Locastro becoming a Prime and in my opinion he shouldn’t have.

if I upgrade him with bxp so say S10....and he becomes prime....does he stay at S10? Or do you have to upgrade him all over again?
So for example at season end they would automatically upgrade from 158-ish to 179-ish at S10?
