    Yeah could have potentially been a stupid move but I sold off posada. Just can’t justify keeping him in when I could have 100k instead and there’s a free salvy in the game. He was doing fine offensively hitting .313 but defence was hard to watch salvys defence looks better for not much worse offence.

    I knew this would be an unpopular post and I’m aware I’m in the minority here, but [censored], I miss the days where every game wasn’t a 10-9 slugfest against the same eight switch hitters.

    I want to believe that the content team is trying to help the community, since the gameplay director doubled down on PCI shkrinkage, content team is basically giving him the middle finger and releasing all possible switch hitters to combat it

    Switch hitters aren't to help us, they are to exploit us

    This is a product of two things:

    PCI shrinkage. They can't fix it so their solution is to release switch hitters.

    Other being a lot of people can't hit without them so it makes them spend a lot of stubs to get them.

    @DemIsE4_XBL yeah I hope I don’t regret selling my posada I mean worse case I have enough to buy him back just thought I’d try the free option “salvy”.

    I find pitchers with significant opposite hand h/9 to be quite effective such as Al Leiter.

    @Ditka06_MLBTS Those are some really good statements. Hitting is not easy…thats why we chase it and continue to play this game too [censored] much and post on forums in our free time. To further your point, I think SDS has has even kind of regulated how OP switch hitters are. I haven’t come across any switch hitters with the extreme-pull quick swings where the input seems immediate. Swings like Elly and Beltran and especially Happ just seem slightly delayed especially when compared to the likes of those with the “extreme pull”

    Something can very easily be done, and its right in the control of the hands of the end-user:
    Make a core group of 30 guys that want to play ball the ''right'' way i.e. your way.
