If I’m trying to win for some reason:
C - Prestige Posey
1B - HW Ruth
2B - HW Alomar
3B - HW Sheffield
SS - SS Rollins
LF - Prime Mantle
CF - HW Trout
RF - Prestige Walker
SP - Sale/Seaver

My Team usually looks more like:
C - SS Posada
1B - Prestige Thome
2B - HW Alomar
3B - Prestige Chipper
SS - HRD Ripken
LF - HW Sheffield
CF - SS Lofton
RF - Prestige Walker
SP - SS Glavine/Maddux

I just prefer my 90s guys TBH and I’m waaaaaay past caring if I win or lose games these days. Seems like if you actually try to win, the game will come up with various convoluted ways for you to lose instead. Despite having played close to 1000 RS games this year, I haven’t made WS once, unlike years past where I would make it every season and quite frankly, I couldn’t care less. The only reason I’m using Mantle and Trout more lately is to try and prestige them before Christmas, it’s something to complete, if nothing else.

LINEUP
SS Tatis
3B Sheffield
1B Ruth
LF Mantle
CF Trout
RF Harper
2B Hornsby
C Pudge

Normally bat Trout second and Sheffield fifth but I've been finishing prestige Sheffield and only need runs. Just bought Pudge today, had been using Posada and occasionally prestige Posey. We'll see how he does.

BENCH
Prestige Reggie Jackson
Castellanos
Winker
Prestige Posey
Prestige Bellinger

Winker and Castellanos have been awful for me so far but I'm not ready to give up, small sample size. My bench tends to be a revolving door of whoever I feel like playing with.

ROTATION
SP Scherzer
SP Prestige Maddux
SP Kershaw
SP Hershisher
SP Kluber/Wood/Seaver/Paxton/flavor of the week

BULLPEN
Gagne
Sig Chapman
Dibble
Britton
Hoffman
McGee
Rivera

I rotate in Rollie, Tyler Alexander, and Romo depending on how I'm pitching with my current bullpen. Monthly Awards Edwin Diaz, Prime Rodney, and Breakout Treinen have all been solid for me in the past and could get another look at some point.

Great post. Not going to say my lineup right now because isn’t much different from anyone else, but I just want to say how much of a cheat code Carter Capps was in BR in MLB 17.

ROTATION

SP Kershaw
SP Hershisher
SP Kluber/Wood/Seaver/Paxton/flavor of the week

I bought Scherzer back when he was first released but just tried him out the last two days and I've been terribly disappointed with him so far. I loved the Live Series version but this Awards series version is hard to control for some reason it seems.

I haven't looked at his individual pitch stats on DaddyLeagues, so maybe I'm just not using him correctly yet. If you happen to see this, would you mind explaining your approach with him? I'm assuming that he does well for you seeing as you listed him as your ace.

Right!? I loved that card, man!

That's why I brought that up in the bottom section of my All-Time White Sox post. I miss those niche guys so much.

I love when we get gold versions of Steve Cishek, Johnny Venters, and Darren O'Day. They need to continue to add to their pool of relievers in this game and since they have almost all of the "big names" now with Rivera, Wagner, Hoffman, Glavine, and Smoltz -- they should target some of the guys who would just be fun to bring back like Carter Capps, Koji Uehara, and Danny Farquhar.

Play the FB/cutter off each other with Scherzer. That's been the biggest difference for me over his LS card, the cutter has x1000 better command. In on the hands vs. lefties and out just off the plate vs. righties with the cutter and then same location next pitch with the FB. And then mix in the slider and changeup in this same situations enough to keep your opponent guessing, as well as the occasional front door cutter and high heat. I've only given up more than 1 run with Scherzer once, and they weren't particularly well-earned runs. Use the curve sparingly. You know why.
