    Pen was my highest priority when building my god squad.

    94 wagner ( waiting on sig/awardWagner)
    90 Franco (this lefty spot is a toss up, ive run Britton here too but i have a lot of hard throwers in my pen now)
    99 Henke (prestiged idr if its 98 or 99) will be replaced by Sig Gagne/Hoffman
    99 Rivera (Prestiged)
    97 Chapman (paid 169k right around release he's lights out)
    Dibble is like 2k/inn but will give up the occassional HR
    Rollie still has a sub 2 ERA in 80+ innings.

    Its a priority for me. I cant hit at all so an extra few innings really help keep my hopes alive.

    I’m still waiting for them to release Smith, Bedrosian, Sutter, Romo amongst others... I think this event would have been better with a CY Young reliever award for Gagne, Sutter or Bedrosian over Simmons and Upton.

    99P. Rivera
    97 Chapman
    98?P Henke
    95 McGee
    95 Dibble
    94 Wagner
    93 Eckersley

    So, a lot? But I don't use SP outta the pen cuz I think it's the worst DD change of all-time!

    I put a lot of stock into my bullpen. Through flipping and selling off some cards I was able to build what I feel is my perfect bullpen.

    Fingers
    Rodney
    Gagne
    Sig Series Franco
    Britton
    Dibble
    Sig series Chapman

    I know I have a lot of stubs wrapped up in it, but I love it. They are all fun to pitch with, and dominant.

    Not going to pile on, but I use a lot of the same guys everyone else does.

    I love having Vida Blue as my 5th starter and using him in relief. Hes been great against good players online. I'd rank my bullpen..

    Blue>>Mo>Franco>Rodney>Gagne. Just got Fingers in there and haven't used him yet.

    How does everyone feel about having a couple junk throwers in their pen so it's not all straight gas? I've got Franco, and Gagne for a different look than Wagner/McGee and Dibble/Henke. Fingers is the best of both worlds though.

    Those junk pitchers are great when used at the right time. Francos screwball, for example, can take a few at bats to pick up. By then you've got yourself through an inning late in the game.

    That's been the case for me, anyway.

    It's High Priority, which is difficult cause every reliever i seem to throw out there gets smashed. There's so few "Great" Options that it seems like anyone you put out there, everybody has seen a million times so they're very hittable. Combine that with the randomness of pitch location. Lefty Relievers are even harder to find. I have the most confidence in Gagne right now. Everyone knows that Slow Stuff's coming, but that curve is Filty and no one can touch it. Until it hangs of course. Just picked up SS Chapman so I've only used him once. Little Nervous the whole time cause he spotted only 1 out of every 3 Pitches. SS Mo has been better than the lower diamond version, but still gets hit around. Dibbles Filthy, but if he can't hit corners and your opponent can hit fastballs you're screwed.

    LS Chapman is beastly on a budget if you’re like me and can’t afford his Sig

    I second this. He is the lowest rated guy in my pen and still my closer.

    It is important but I really have not invested alot in it. Just find guys you are good with. There are a ton of lefties for completing LS sets. Wagner is the best but Plesac and Doolittle are solid or LS Chapman and LS Hader. Find someone you are good with and stick with them. Im shocking good with MA Neris and LS Chapman. Also find guys that complement your starters. If you have a starter that throws mostly heat, guys like Hader and Chapman will get rocked. However a junk pitcher (gagne, franco) or funky windup (eck) will be affective. Perhaps my favorite part about this game is alot of it based on feel ( batter stance, windup) so you dont always have to have everyone as a 99.

    Not seeing Prime Betances getting much love here. It's pretty solid, but way too expensive now if you didn't do the work to unlock him in the Prime event.

    It's all about different looks. No RP in before the 7th. I'm never fatigued.

    Hoffman
    Dibble
    Mariano
    Rollie
    Chapman
    Miller
    Wagner

    They get it done.

    Wagner, McGee, Sig Chapman (although LS is very good aswell) Prestige Mo, Gange, Dibble, Rollie.

    As far as I'm concerned this is the best pen you can make right now.

    Honourable mentions to Eckersley, Rodney, Dolittle, and Edwin Diaz, but aside from Eck don't pitch to more than 3 batter with any of them.

    I also use my 5th starter as a long relief/mop up roll. For that a use LS Scherzer because he's still one of the best pitchers in the game for me.

    One more thing to add... My only RP with a 0.00 era in the event
