Rotation Advise

I had a decent 1-5 rotation, but recently sold off Greinke and El Duque (who I hated). Couldn't resist selling both with the prices they are selling for. I picked up Hershiser with the stubs and love that card.

However, I have Hendricks as my #5 now after the free Topps Pack and I have a feeling that will get lit up in Ranked in particular.

Right now, my rotation is this...

1. Kluber
2. Paxton
3. Hershiser
4. Hamels
5. Hendricks

I'm eyeing the FS Sixto Sanchez card, Wood (control gives me pause), Mike Scott and King Felix.

I plan on getting Maddox as the boss reward this inning, but need something to hold me over until then.

Any recommendations that you all have? I have a mountain of stubs to work with here as well.

I will get rid of Paxton and Hendricks they're both super easy to hit. 99 mike scott, greinke and newhouser are my suggestions.

Yeah get rid of Hendricks and pick up Steven Wright

Not sure if serious or not on this one. As a Sox fan I know he's a knuckleballer. He glitchy with it or something?

Leiter or Wood

Best rotation right now is Kluber leiter Orel Maddux feller . Honorable mentions I would use Newhouser hamels wood.

I like Jim Palmer!

Hendricks is terrible for online play

It's sarcastic, he's a 61 overall knuckleballer... But if you are level 500 or below he's honestly viable as people have crazy issues hitting the knuckleball.

But honestly yes replace Hendricks... Hal if you got him.

Try Wood, if it goes poorly then sell him. But he's my best pitcher right now, actually has an ERA under 3 and has about a 14 K/9. If you have an aggressive opponent you will destroy them.

Kerry is great! Fun to pitch with. He’s a bulldog on the mound. And that 12-6 curve after a upper 90’s fastball makes the hitters look silly.

Al Leiter, John Smoltz, FS Brendan McKay are all good. Kerry Wood if you can control him.

Jim Palmer or Don Sutton. Small sample size but I've pitched well with him so far!!

slow, wet and unpredictable

Who's that? Palmer or Sutton?

If youre pitching on all star favor velocity, if hof+ control. Wood is amazing if you can handle him.

I'm almost to the Div. Series

Agreed and he is pretty easy to control using analog. Is there any other pitching method in this game?

Update: Snagged Kerry Wood. Pitched against the White Sox on All-Star for the Players Tournament goals to unlock 95 Snell. Here is his line...

IP: 9
Hits: 1 (lost the no-no w/2 outs in the 9th)
K’s: 16
BB: 1

I know this is the White Sox and against the CPU, but I was throwing darts and painting all corners. Safe to say I’m comfortable with him. Can’t wait to take him into Ranked.

Thanks for the suggestions, fellas. May grab Leiter to replace Paxton and move Paxton as long relief.
