As you all know, BR should be widely different next year and because of that, the meta should change completely.
This thread will start with me sharing the drafting strategy I'll be using when the game first comes out then y'all can share how you'll be drafting when the game first releases, the game isn't released yet so obviously there's no wrong answers here.
First, let's break down the new draft tiers in 20:
-
2 diamonds
-
3 golds
-
9 silvers
-
9 bronzes
-
2 commons
Then there's the new rules that will be implemented:
-
3 batter minimum
-
The opener
-
No more starting pitcher roulette/starting pitcher energy
So here's my strategy:
Starters - 3 silvers and 2 bronzes, I'd love 5 silvers but I don't think that's the way to go here, if you manage your games right you can use your bronzes in your easiest games and that'll add 2 impact silvers to the lineup
Relievers - 1 diamond righty, 1 gold lefty, then 1 silver righty and fill the final 4 spots with 2 lefties and 2 righties, this will cover depth in the pen really well(you can utilize the gold and diamond as openers as well)
Lineup - 1 diamond, 2 golds, and 5 silvers. Preferably the diamond will be the high diamond but this lineup is pretty standard, even to 19
Bench - 3 bronzes and the 2 commons, this is where you try for 1 runner then hopefully at least 1 card that's good vs. Lefties and one for against lefties(the 3 batter minimum will help you with matchups)
I think this works really well with my playstyle and I'm really excited to hear feedback/your strategy for BR heading into 20
Going to be really hard to determine how much energy will effect everything. We are all use to using those same guys every single game so I personally think going to need to juice up bullpen a lot.
Here is my first run strategy knowing that you can use SP as RP and RP as SP, I just view the SP and RP as Pitchers:
Pitchers: 12 total: 6 Lefties and 6 Righties: 2 Golds and 1 Diamond (Diamond to have great Stamina) 5-6 Silvers and 3-4 Bronze
Lineup - 8 Total: Diamond hitter, Gold hitter, 3-4 Silvers, 2-3 Bronzes.
Bench - 2 Commons, 3 Bronzes

I think pitching is going to be far more relevant in BR this year.
I'm thinking that the bench should be 2 common (pinch runners, ideally) and three bronzes (pinch hitters, ideally).
Depending on how quickly energy replenishes from game to game, I will likely lean towards having a strong rotation and bullpen. My lineup would ideally by glitchy silvers and golds with pitching being the emphasis.

The lineups is about far more than just tier. In 19, one of my best BR sluggers was breakout Eric Thames. I believe he is a 75 silver. Personally, I hit better with him than most diamonds. In fact, I have over a .500 average with him. Don’t get caught up solely on ratings, there are cards that play far above and far below their ratings for each user.
You're talking to someone who has a 2.200 ops with 76 Sogard
