Chipper or Wagner?
-
Haven’t opened up my Flawless reward yet. I know a lot of the community would want me to take Chippah and sell him and I’d like to help.
Here’s my deal. For some reason this season of RS has seen a trend for me with multiple blown saves in the 8th and 9th inning. In the previous seasons my bullpen ERA was very good. All my guys were in the 3’s and under. Everyone is trending up right now and for some reason Goose has been giving up a ton of crucial bombs. Opponents are only batting .223 off him but he’s given up 11 HR and blown 4 saves in 27.1 IP while striking out 49(16.134 k/9). So he’s either blowing people away or blowing the game.
As far as Chipper goes, I really enjoyed his Inning Boss card earlier in the year, but I recently got the Seager card and LOVE that swing. Prestige Tatis is locking down SS and I love my CAP at 2B so Seager is playing 3rd. Also if I wanted to platoon him vs lefties I have options(Sheff, Ramirez, Mondesi, Castellanos, Etc.).
What would you guys do?

Honestly, Chipper won’t be much of an upgrade on your team. I’m thinking Wags would be a bigger boost to your club.

I feel like if I’m going to keep one, that’s the right answer.
Or I take Chipper and sell him for the community and try and figure out my late game struggles another way. That Wagner is filthy though!

I'm not going flawless. But I had a similar title I was going to use for a post. If you had a mil stubs, what would you use them on? Is the sig Wagner that much better than the 94? Is the sig Chipper that much better than the 94 one? Is the 99 Alomar that much better than the 91?
I have a million stubs if I want them. I don't really have any needs, per se. I have the same team everyone else does (minus any of the BR rewards). I'm not so worried about what my team "needs." It's more which of those three guys is the best bet and more fun to use. My lefties I can use in the pen are the new Andrew Miller, Crochet, sig Chapman, McGee, 94 Wagner and the postseason guys. I can use Pujols at third (currently the guy in my "best" lineup). But I also have most of the other guys you'd expect (except JRam MA). So, if I would say there's a weak spot in my lineup, I guess it's third. But it's not really.
Anyway, just curious who would be your first choice out of the BR guys if you wanted one and had the mil stubs.

Wagner wasn't even in my flawless pack, or I would've taken him because my Chipper order already went through. So it's not a guarantee you'll have the luxury to choose. My pack contained Chipper, Feller and Donaldson.

Ahh that’s the other thing I was wondering. Only my 2nd time. First time I took Wagner and used him a few times before selling for a million to build
My team.So if no Wagner, I’ll take Chipper and hopefully someone from this community will be blessed with their Chipper.

Wagner is the best reliever in the game IMO, far and away the best stats in my bullpen, I think he is 24-3 with around a 1.60 ERA and 168 strikeouts in 100ish innings
-
Ok that decision was made easy since Wagner wasn’t in the pack. I feel
Like if you go Flawless you should be allowed to pick any Flawless reward that’s been released, but what do I know.Maybe I’ll try Chippah and then I’ll go get my cool Million(900k).
-
My platoon of Pujols/Ed Mathews is good enough to not need Chipper.
Anytime I’ve faced that 99 Wagner, I’ve looked stupid.
Take Wagner.
-
SOLD! Hopefully one of you got him or at least are 1 step closer.
