Which 9th Inning Boss Should I Choose?
-
Title says it all. I know this program just started, but I like to plan my picks in advance so that when I do get to 300 stars, I will know exactly who I want.
My bullpen is pretty solid, I think, so I probably won't be picking Jansen. Thus, my choice lies between Jimmie Foxx and Honus Wagner.
Here's how my lineup currently looks:
- CF—99 Prime Ty Cobb
- SS—99 TN Trea Turner
- 1B—99 MVP Babe Ruth*
- LF—99 MVP Christian Yelich
- 2B—98 TN Bo Bichette*
- RF—98 TN Adam Duvall*
- C—96 GG Matt Weiters (sometimes I have Posey here)
- 3B—96 Brad Miller
- Pitcher
- = Secondary position penalties
Based on this, who would be the best fit for my lineup? Foxx or Honus?
-
I’d upgrade C with foxx
-
Honestly i'm going with Jimmie Foxx, best catcher in the game now
-
I’m gonna get all 3 because they all look good but my first choice would be Foxx for sure
-
I’m thinking Foxx, with my 2nd choice as Jansen
-
Foxx at 3rd base IMO.

Great hitting, but arm is subpar and block is 50 something. I’d use my CAP at C and pick up Honus.

I would agree with you, but not use a CAP. I would use my current catcher 94 Salvador Perez. I really enjoy his card and how it plays above his stats.

I agree with your bullpen thing. Jansen is an easy no for me. I somehow always get my starters into the late innings. If I am having a bad game, I use my few LIGHTS OUT bullpen guys, and then have a long starter go the next game to rest them.

I've seen this a couple of times now, what makes you say that he's the best? Best hitting, sure, but you don't think his fielding, poor blocking and weak arm will cost you runs?

I loved his bat last year and if he's not good behind the plate i have other options anyway.

My bullpen is so stacked, so Kenley is out as I have found him easy to pick up and wouldn’t be confident with him. Seems like Mariano Rivera 2.
Honus looks great but I definitely don’t need him. I have so many great leadoff hitters already. Cobb, JRoll, Gwynn, hell even Tatis or Mantle... just no need for another slappy speedster.
I could platoon Ruth/Foxx at 1B in the 3 hole. That’d be nasty. No way I’d put Foxx behind the dish with those stats on D. Yuck.
-
Honus at 2nd base is the move
-
Pick the most expensive and buy the other. Both make your lineup.
