Favorite lefties out of the pen
-
I've got PS Matzek, Finest Maya, Finest Raley, NLDS Strahm and Prime Wagner.
I'm looking at The Missle Chapman, Topps Now Hader and Sig Britton.
What lefties do you guys roll with? Throw some good starters in also. I need SP too. I only have pitchers from the playoff programs.

That’s a pretty nice selection there I can’t see much room for improvement personally especially once you add Hader in. To me that Strahm feels about like a clone of Hader so I typically will use one or the other in my pen but never both. The only one missing from your lists that I use personally is John Franco so far as relievers are concerned.

They're not bad and Raley definitely gets it done, but I figured they'd be some better relievers besides free ones.
I've gotten worked over by Franco several times in the event and he's only 10k. I might grab him just to grab him.

There’s a Billy Wagner card out there too that’s very nice I believe it’s from the incognito set called Billy the Kid but I’ve used that prime one plenty as well. Like you I only have the cards that you accumulate as you go. There’s a negro league card John Donaldson that you’ll want to acquire as well as a starter. Randy Johnson also is an incredible left handed starter. That Franco is a fun card and has a fantastic repertoire with nice mph difference between his off speed and fastball and his sinker looks just like his change up coming in to the plate and the screwball is just about a guaranteed strikeout pitch against the cpu with two strikes. Best of luck to you. There’s many others out there but those are a couple to try anyhow.

Been worked over by Billy the Kid too. Donaldson has given me trouble and he's cheap also. I want that Randy at some point.
One card I was curious about was the Nestor Cortes card. Some guy online straight clowned me with him. Whichever set has them in regular clothes.

No love for potm Jake Diekman?

Hader, Loup, would be my top two, followed by Britton, Franco, Chapman, and Wagner.
A lot depends on when you use them...for example, Chapman and Wagner are more effective following a finesse Pitcher while Franco and Loup are more effective following a high velo Pitcher.
