Big Bunts (Non-S2 Casual Deck Build)

[AdeptOfMemory_PSN]

Recent Update to roster and rotation

Fun gimmick build I am trying out. This is not S2 ready and can pretty much only be taken advantage of in Casual, so do with that what you will.

Lineup:

1.) Richie Ashburn
2.) Luis Aparicio
3.) Jackie Robinson
4.) Buck O'Neil
5.) Jorge Posada
6.) Hilton Smith
7.) Martin Dihigo
8.) Derek Jeter
9.) Hank Thompson

The good thing about cards like Buck, Dihigo, Thompson, and Biggio is that all of them have versions that all have good or great bunting attributes. Everyone on this lineup has a 70+ on bunting without PxP. You WILL land good bunts from the strike zone.

I always lead off with either Richie or Hank. Either of them will do you justice in leadoff positions of the lineup, it's personal preference as to top or bottom imo.
I simply pick my best catcher for this roster and in this case it's WS reward Posada. On top of that I recommend putting your biggest hitters of this lineup in the middle so you can take advantage of loaded bases that you WILL be getting. Even when your opponent lines up for bunt protection you can send your bunts down first base or perfectly placed in front of pitcher and catcher and still make it to base. So having some hitters that can send you home is very beneficial. Every one of these cards has decent speed as well. Stealing is very strong with this deck. I would also not rely 100% on bunting. You want to throw your opponent off guard from time to time especially when they do setup for bunt protection and start pitching differently to counter you. That's when you get smart and start trying to land base hits or get your walks. Many players low in rank will start throwing you balls to get you to strike out. Read the pitcher and don't be afraid to take pitches.

Bench:

Jesse Winker
Adley Rutschman
Ozzie Smith
Adalberto Mondesei

Bench has been updated to reflect captain boosts.
Keeping Winker and swapping out Ruiz for Rutschman. Ozzie and Adalberto are speed demons that get captain boost and both have 75+ bunting.

Rotation:

Updated the rotation to fit in 88 Captain Maddux and pack the bullpen with captains and pitchers who meet the Maddux buff. Half of the lineup meet the Maddux boost so after seeing there was only a 1 point overall difference it was easy to decide the captain combo goes to Jeter/Maddux.
Bunt Squad ready.
