Move to gold?

Do you guys think I have enough roster and resources built up to move to gold, and not be a doormat? I can scrounge about 58k more bxp, by dumping all my inactives.
I only have Trout and Garver in for SF. I also have 315 Harper, 315 Tatis, and 317 Yelich (from draft picks) at S10, if I need them.

bxp first. I just went gold Monday and was able to cap my whole team. Also it’s 1 million cash per upgrade and i wanted to cap my hitting ones atleast. I think your light in bxp and cash but if you’re ok slowly building then go for it. Otherwise keep stacking resources and don’t waste any.
Is it WOH-related?
I moved up to gold a few days ago, because I couldn't win bonus games or more than half my primes games.
Literally all my upgrades were at 40/40.
I decided to move up and realized I couldn't even get the last 36 wins I needed to reach the playoffs. I finally made it by using ice packs on BGs and playing a bunch of MATCH ME games.
I then immediately capped my Yankees pennants (the only team I've used any pennants on - my keepers are Ruth and Posada).
I then leveled Ruth and Posada to G10 and got my ML to G7. A week later I capped my SP1. Everyone else is at S10.
I have no regrets. BGs got easier. So did prime games. CVC and season mode are either better or the same. As for WOH, I couldn't even cycle warm-up, so no noticable difference there.
Actually season mode playoffs might be easier now, because nerfing creates a bigger differential.
The same scenario happened that forced me from bronze to silver. 18 game and 16 game BG losing streaks.
Thanks
WOH is "meh", since the rewards have rarely been more than a marginal upgrade, anyway.
Season mode is fine. I have had 95+ wins in all 4 seasons I completed, and won finals in 2 of them. 29-3 in the current season.
CVC/Target Bash/EB are fine. I am going back to playing solo soon, so I can win enough either way.
Prime games I am winning about half, or a little better, but I really only care about them if I have good bonus players.
I am getting smoked in BGs (I have about 400 or so stocked up), and I can't win a tourney game for shit.
The biggest reason, is that I was originally planning to be in diamond, and cycling 2-4 times/week by July. If I want to stay on that track, it just seems like it's time.
If I want to stay F2P, and feel relevant, I will eventually have to have that D6 gold, to go with the vid grind (which I absolutely loathe).
Edited for content, and to run in the time allotted...
Thanks.
Last year, I ended up at diamond because I was clueless. It didn't stay at any level long enough to start having the problems winning BGs, etc. At diamond, BGs started off hard and got easier.
In 2019, I was never able to cap any legends (because I stupidly leveled 5 at the same time as I went). I finally capped a couple of low 400s primes at the end and some 370-390 max BXP players. And I had uncapped legends in the mid to high 400s. At the end I was winning 95% of my BGs and 99% of my prime games. Tourneys were easy too. I could only cycle WOH classic and not even that every week. I was winning most CVCs. I still had a lot of fun. I want to do it "right" this season, but it's not as simple as I assumed.
Thanks again
So those that have jumped, what's the optimum amount of cash and XP to do so? I can't stand silver and want to jump as fast as I can
The math I'm looking at for 6 pitchers, 7 hitters, 3 keepers, and 1 my legend equals 677,700 BXP with no discount.
It looks like each standard player takes 25,100 BXP to go from S10 to G10.
Does that math look right?
