You only have one player to start. Does walker play every position?
Edit: nevermind

Really, really solid lineup. How does the bp and sp look?

Pitching? That's where stubs generally can be most effective.

Who is "killer?" Is that your CAP or something?

I replaced prestige Didi for Ernie Banks and haven't regretted it one bit.
As far as pitching goes, I would recommend Hamels if you play on HOF+ consistently, if not, your 5 spot is probably fine.
Edit: also, test out Jorge Posada. I know Panda is a switch hitter too, but Jorge has over a 1.700 OPS for me in about 60 PA.

Your team as a whole is a lot like mine. Hornsby at 2b/3rd might be a fun one to try out if you're looking to burn through some stubs,.

I tried out Posada and it just didn't click. Gave Pablo a shot and love his swing.
I've been debating trying out Banks for forever, might have to give it a shot. -

8 - PabloI would switch killer and sheff as sheff hits lefties better. I would also switch pablo and didi as you will get more speed at the bottom and not clog the bases as much. As for the line up itself,, not bad at all.

Killebrew.
Ahh, shoot! That makes sense.
But back to the topic at hand...
I'd rate your team a solid 9/10.
Your lineup is just about as good as it can get, no doubt about that. I love Pablo at catcher, he's a sneaky option that is, in my opinion, a top-5 option back there. Your rotation is excellent and looks like it needs just one more elite starter to make it pretty much "end-game;" in fact I think Maddux, Kluber, and Orel will be in a lot of folks rotations still in November. Tom Seaver has a good chance to join that group as well, I just haven't gotten the chance to unlock and use him yet (but I'm getting there!)
The only area I can see that you could clearly improve is the bullpen, Fernando Rodney is awful this year, in my opinion. His card is usually one of my favorite relievers each year but there's something just off with this year's version, not only is he easy to hit but from my own experience and from what I've seen and heard from other players, it's just so difficult to trust him to find the strike-zone consistently. If you do well with him, then disregard everything I said and keep rolling with him. On paper,. he should be one of the better budget relievers out there but he doesn't play how his attributes tell you he should.
I know there are folks that will defend Franco to the end but to me, I would much rather have Jake McGee or even Zack Britton. That said, he's not a bad reliever at all. He's just not the top of the line, cream of the crop as the late, great "Macho Man" Randy Savage would put it.

ohhh yeah, dig it!
I have found myself having a harder time trusting both Rodney and Franco so it's funny you say that. My go to guys are always Dibble, Gagne, Chapman and Fingers. I had Britton earlier in the cycle and he consistently got shelled for me. Never tried McGee, but always have a hard time facing him. He might be the move here.
Thanks for the advice, my dude! -

I second the "ditching Rodney" thought. everything else is dang near elite, and Rodney stands out as a weak point, especially since relief pitching will be more important post-starter stamina nerf.

I can easily explain what is wrong with Rodney. The outlier sinker is trash. It is why Britton is worse this year, its why Graterol was disappointing when people got to using him, and its why some people like the LS Chapman over the sig. It comes in hard but just doesn’t have the movement of a regular sinker

Personally, I would move didi to the bench and get Hornsby. Then if you really still need the lefty bat, I’d say put chipper at 3rd and bring killer off bench. But having those 2 in your lineup would allow you to make changes later with killer and didi, since those other guys can play multiple positions.
