I misunderstood captain boosts
-
For some reason, I was under the impression that if I met the requirements for captain boosts that the captain would boost my whole team. I guess they only boost the players that contribute to the boost. Kind of a bummer.
-
Thats why they made a point to talk about "theme teams" so there would be no confusion. Every player can be boosted by a captain....its just a matter of piecing a team together to do it.

Yeah, I had a Giants bullpen with the Matt Cain captain and was hoping my other starters and my WBC Camilo would get boosts. I'm thinking pitching captains probably won't be for me, but hitting captains will come in handy for grinding team-based pxp for TA.

There are still some funky things you can do with a few. And when more cards come out it’ll be even better. Example I’m using the Nolan Ryan (+35 years old) card, and there are quite a few relievers you can sneak in with no real downside. Chapman and Kenley are like Prime versions of themselves lol. There is a 99 Darvish I have boosted to near god tier.
But the one I thought about last night was Halladay. The BB/9 and Stamina seems a bit unimpressive compared to others and for a started almost is.. But imagine a bullpen filled with them. Now you have heaters flying in with better control and you relievers go from 25 or so to 35 stamina. Again almost irrelevant for a starter but for a closer that is honestly a fairly large boost.
The Jeter card is fun as well because there are dozens of captains available. When others have as many potions as him I think it’ll be a great addition.

Yea that jeter card is sneaky a must have. I sold him early but realized that once they start realizing 99 captains you could build a booster all captain team. I bet his value eventually increase a bunch once that happens

Now that you mention it, I might have to pick him up, but something tells me we will be getting that captain pack all year.

I think there's one that boosts all pitchers from eastern teams too, he would be a good investment as well

That’s the Roy Halladayi believe. The issue with him is the boosts aren’t as impressive as the other captains. But as I mentioned it could be sneaky good for a reliever captain with enough good arms pretty quickly.
