Left-handed relief
-
LS Chapman (I might buy the sig series if the price drops a hair), Franco, and Wagner. Franco is slept on. Fun card.

Chapman, Doolittle, My Adam Cimber super-powered Cap.
-
Franco Wagner Chapman and Britton, those are the only ones I trust enough for my ranked team
-
Franco is by far my favorite. Great pitch mix. And can get both lefties and righties out.

Never thought about a CAP. Is it a grind to get them to diamond level? Is there a good lefthander in history that isn’t in the game and I can groom my cap to be like him? Can’t think of any off top of my head. I don’t like using just generic cap guys. Would rather have it customized to be like a real player.
-
Besides sig Chapman, sounds like I need to try sig Franco and maybe that McGee. I’ve always liked the diamond Britton cards in the past too. Haven’t tried this one.

Ive had some success with Amir Garrett - Players Tournament Edition. Hes free, i think, so its another guy to try if your auditioning....

I agree with Franco being money. But even more so, imo the best left handed reliever is 75 Silver Zach Britton. Except that when I started with him, he was a Bronze level card and has pitched for me mostly on All-Star Level, and some HOF up to CS Division.
In 87 RS games, he has 78.1 IP, 4-1 W-L, 9 SV, 27 HLD, ZERO BLOWN SAVES, 122 K's sporting a 0.92 ERA, the lowest in my entire bullpen.
I even tried using his 93 Diamond card but wasn't impressed with his 2.84 ERA in 16 games, 12.2 IP, a small sample size, but still.
His silver card has good slider and splitter and the speed differential between those two pitches and his sinker allows his sinker to sneak by the hitters often with a swing and a miss. The card posts his sinker at 95 MPH, but feels like it's coming in much faster.
If you need to fill in a lefty spot in your bullpen, I would highly recommend for you to at least give him a try out.

I use 97 Chapman, 95 McGee and 94 Wagner. My ERA w Wagner is BADD! I've never made a CAP but if I do it will be a LHRP!
-
I don't play RS very much but i usually roll with Wagner and Alvardo and then the occasional use of Plesac. I have Alexander but have yet to use him
