Finest Cory Kluber question
-
Is Finest Kluber from the BR program supposed to be an endgame pitcher? I picked him since I had already picked Trout and Johnson on previous playthroughs. But when I was going to add him to my team, based on the numbers comparison I already have five starters that are arguably better than him. Is he more effective than his numbers would indicate?
I used him as a test in a couple of mini seasons games, and he did fine, but I am not sure if he is a better replacement than what I have. -
If you play offline against the CPU it doesn't really matter, you can pick the guy who has the better attributes. If you play online against human opponents however, Kluber is more valuable because of his pitch mix. Sinker/cutter rules The Show and always will.

Cutters are basically everything, and for that reason, I run him over Nolan, Greene, etc..

I compare Kluber to Halladay (who is the only one I used quite some time this year). My results using him where good, but not very good. I had better results using Randy, Glavine, Ryan, DeGrom, JV and especially Kershaw. Halladay would probably make my 10-man-rotation (if I had one ), but he is clearly not in my Top5.
Hope, that helped … just my oppinion

Difficulty you play at matters as well. Hall of fame and above he’s very good due to pitch mix etc. on all star I’d say he’s less effective due to his velo being mid 90s in comparison to say a Nolan Ryan.

Johnny Cueto and Corbin Burns have a good pitch mix also. Not sure if you’ve tried them.
