How much do you value bullpen arms?
-
I Got a 600k bullpen my most important area of my team easily
-
4 lights out righties and 3 lights out leftiea
-
It's all about different looks. No RP in before the 7th. I'm never fatigued.
Hoffman
Dibble
Mariano
Rollie
Chapman
Miller
WagnerThey 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.

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

I need to put more stock in it. I usually dominate with my starting pitchers and then I turn to my pen in the 8th and all of a sudden things go wrong. Rollie Fingers is the only guy I trust in my pen.

I value them a lot. I almost always start games ice cold with the bat so when I finally get a slim lead I need to close that [censored] out. Chapman is such a relief (no pun intended) to have in those situations.
-
Less than other years but it’s usually the most dominate part of my team, starters next. You can find glitchy bats that produce insanely well. Pitching usually comes down to attributes or outlier.

I'm about the same. It's always something that I know I should be improving, but end up forgetting to improve as more content gets added.

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.
The Slurve is nasty and can be thrown pretty much anywhere but the lack of a third non fastball makes him a tier 2 option. Id him out and Diaz right aroujd the same spot with the edge to Betances because the slurve is elite.

Too priority honestly ,
I have my top guys
Dibble
Mo
Fingers
HenkeBritton
Chapman
Franco / WagnerThen I have alternates for important games when I need full steam
Betances 95
Goose 90
Nen 92
And on and on.I invest in keeping my back up guys top teir also so I can always have a fully rested pen for a crucial game like going up a division

I was skeptical with just the 4, the 2 and the slurve. But he’s super nasty dude, his delivery is hard to pick up if it’s slurve or heat , and they crazy juiced that slurve. It’s one of the best pitches in the game imo. I love the card , glad I kept it. Blows both goose and nen our if the water imo, and I love both those cards too.
I would rank betances a 7 , nen a 6 and goose a 5. For reference I would say dibble is a 8 and mo 8. If give fingers a 7.5

95% of my play is on all-star, so they are all a disaster.
It’s tough because I’m really close to trout, and I’m finding hard to have 150k sitting there in Chapman when he gets rocked as much as he does. The ball literally never goes where I want it to - even with good pitch feedback.
-
Everyone in the 500-600s quits as soon as they go down a couple runs anyway. I've got a decent bullpen, but I only get to use it when I'm losing.
-
I actually have my CAP in my pen because you can make them an elite reliever. They only have three pitches but with a deceptive pitching motion most players can’t see the 99 fastball coming then drop the change on them.
I try to stick with velo on my bullpen. I do like the 93 eck and Doolittle is surprisingly good. Rodney is also a good card with outlier a blazing fastball and sinker.
