    Did you just pull Mike Trout and don't know whether to keep or sell him?

    Are you struggling to find a 5th starter that won't give up seven runs a start?

    Are you hitting .156 with Sam Huff and need someone to recommend a new catcher?

    If you answered yes to any of these questions, then you have come to the right place! Post your DD squad-related dilemma below and I will give you some (hopefully) amazing advice to help you solve the problem.

    I'm currently 25-4 in RS this season, I'm usually around 900 in rating, I've played DD for 5+ years, and can say I've used and/or faced most good cards in the game. So I think I'm pretty experienced and can give good lineup advice--this isn't a troll or anything. That being said, obviously I don't know everything and a lot depends on personal preference. Squad building is one of my favorite parts of DD and I've seen a lot of posts looking for advice, so hit me up.

    I enjoyed using the 84 Reggie Jackson and was excited to see the recently released 95.

    However, rather than looking like an upgrade to the earlier version, this looks like a different player altogether. The 84 is 20 pts quicker and is stronger against lefties. The 95 also has slightly lower arm strength, stealing and vision, but has better hitting against righties.

    Can I realistically expect the 95 to play similarly to the 84? Or would the 2 versions of the same player be as different on the field as they appear to be on the stat sheet?

    Thanks!

    I think he should play pretty similarly. The swing/stance won't change and all of his hitting stats are a major upgrade over the 84. I highly doubt the two less arm strength will be a noticeable difference. The decrease in speed will hurt his range in the outfield a little bit, but nobody starts Reggie Jackson for his defense and hitting the bronze reaction and fielding threshold should help alleviate the lack of speed issue to a degree. I think the 95 is very much an upgrade over the 84.

    Should I start or bench chipper. He’s only hitting .400 for me online and just wondering if I am missing out by keeping him in my lineup just because he’s a 99.

    Longtime listener, first time caller, hi....
    I have a rash in my bathing suit area, wondering if you recommend any particular ointment. I'll hang up and listen, thanks.

    A player of your skill? Only hitting .400? Send him to the bench ASAP. I'd recommend 92 Mike Schmidt instead. He has a really slow swing, so you won't have to worry about being very early on those 102 MPH Chapman fastballs on legend like you always are. You should be able to hit plenty of perfect timing HRs with him and bat at least .600

    No offense, I appreciate you tuning in, but this is why I'm giving the advice and not you. Clearly this man is underperforming with Chipper and needs help. With my advice, everyone is guaranteed to bat at least .500 and usually much higher than that.*

    Great question! I do. While I understand you're trying to perfect your tan in time for the summer, I recommend ditching those bathing suits for some Rocket City Rash-Proof Pandas Uniforms. Their high-quality material means you won't get rashes and can run the bases 30% FASTER! You can get them for the very affordable price of 200 stubs* on the market.

    Great question. You see, when a baseball team loves their Mike Trout very very much and he hits a perfect-perfect walk-off Home Run it makes everyone very hornyappy and they... well, you get the idea.

    Thank you! I get it! Is that why there is always a strong Trout smell?!

    Griffey Jr
    Huff
    Mauricio
    Joe Torre
    Gehrig

    Debating 2 things:
    Swapping Jimmie Foxx for Sam Huff
    Swapping Soriano for Buxton

    Either of those sound likengood ideas or stick with what I got?
