Has anyone taken Henderson with there Bronze 80?
I'm a firm believer in the diamond ability defense and speed over power hitters.
Haven't seen to many people take him and I loved his 99 card in last year's game.
Or do I just take Kluber like everyone else is?
I build my team with SP, RP and middle of the field (C, SS, 2B, CF). You can find a ton of viable outfielders but you need 5 SP and at least 4-5 good relief pitchers to compete in RS. I go Kluber all day.
I took Glavine and Smoltz early. Did the team affinity for Correa (SS), Torres (playing him at 2B) and Ohtani. I am one showdown from Snell which would give me 4 solid starters. Will probably spend some of my 60k stubs on another starting pitcher for now.
I took Newhouser, but I regret not taking Rickey. The penultimate leadoff hitter, and very good defensively.
Rickey is my favorite player of all time, but I feel like he performed below his stats last year. I think the smart bet is to take somebody like Kluber first...so I think I’ll probably take Rickey.

How are you faring in Showdown? Do you play through to try to get as many runs as possible towards the Final Showdown or do you just skip to it?
I have probably 15-20K (not sure sure made back) 'invested' in the AL West Showdown and I haven't completed it yet.
At this rate, it may be better for me to just buy LS Betts/Judge and play them in RF; because chances are another RF, with better vision, and comparable power/contact will be released as a Boss, by the time I can get Gallo.

Also, your first part on your reply us spit on. SP and BP are my go-to spots first.
That's why I'm taking Kluber and may take Sandberg at 1.
I'm in the minority of not caring much for Kluber, wish I'd taken Hal. Ricky hasn't even crossed my mind
I actually took McCovey, cause I suck at hitting but getting better. I did not get his Diamond card in previous years. I am liking this card

McCovey rakes
I hit Kluber pretty well. I think if you want to take Rickey, do it.
Everyone is taking Kluber. He’s this year’s Kershaw, but he’s not as good.
Like some diversity in rosters.

Which is exactly why I took Hal. I had Kluber in a BR run and couldn’t locate. And I figured after the stream saying he was this yrs Kershaw he’d be in every lineup.

I took Hal too and he’s been my only good starter.

I took kluber and his stamina is insane lol he doesn't even get into the yellow until 113 pitches during ranked games

I'm wondering if we'll see a better version of Rickey later.
Probably, but not better vs lefties.
