Amid a lot of issues going on, I will say it was nice to see potw box price get substantially lowered. Down to 650 gold from 1100. It’s a nice option for guys who want to score points and not chase the regular bonus boxes. This is coming from someone who absolutely hated that box the last 2 years.

This guy fits anywhere.
I'm thinking about opening 130 of these Tauchman/Nola boxes and going diamond.
I need a pitcher and a lefty Yankee (maxed pennants) OF seems like a good fit (even though he will only be a 340 next week).
Also, should I assume Tauchman and Nola are equally likely to pull?
If I expect to pull them about 30-35 times each, how high should I level them after the first pull?
Is this a stupid plan? Is there anything I'm failing to consider?
I enjoyed being a diamond BG grinder in '19. If other game modes suffer, I can live with it.
Thanks
Odds have been changing quite frequently lately, but if you go with today's box as an example:
84500 gold will get you 27-28 pulls of the specialty 5-star players and about 17 pulls of the base 5-star players.
I know it's not a pitcher and a lefty Yankee hitter, but if you're building a new diamond team, four players is going to help your team more than the two POTW, in my opinion. If you wait for a Royale, there will be more player options as well (from tournament boxes, fan rewards, woh). Even if you don't want the players in the boxes offered, you it for the repulls for XP to level the players that you do want.
I haven't thrown that much gold at a POTW box lately, but in regular boxes, the odds aren't quite evenly split between players of each tier. So if you take today's 400 gold box for example, Guzman is 350 max and Margot is 355 max. In my experience, I've gotten more pulls of the weaker player. There's always some randomness to it.
If you're expecting 30 repulls for example, I would level the player to around silver 10 (count back 30 from diamond 10). Maybe go a little higher just in case, to make sure you get to diamond 10 with your pulls, but not much higher. You want to pay as little xp as possible to level and rely on repulls as much as you can.
I will wait for a better spot, while building up my stash of gold.
I only have one device that can run TSB
Edit: That is why I don't have a holder, either.
I've been thinking about getting a new tablet (current one is from 2014). This might hasten my purchase.
