Crazy to see that I have spent only $40 on this game and have this squad! I’m only diamond level 25 as well lol. Btw with my stubs I could also buy back topps now cards. I have 10k but I’ve invested in 20 Kenley Jansens

Too righty heavy for my taste. I would platoon Babe/Frank at 1st and get some left handed bats in your OF. I would put Walker in LF and Harper in RF.

A bunch of the righties hit better against righties so idk about that. Walker would be good but Harper is a no. I’ll look into it!

@ComebackLogic said in Ok...now I need some team advice:

Larry Walker to RF, both Davis and Bellinger suffer from low vision at higher difficulties. Rob Dibble, Billy Wagner/Jake Mcgee into the pen for Franco and Romo, Biggio to C, posey to bench to PH v LHP and HRD Cano at 2B, unless this really is a flex, in which case Alomar at 2B because

Yeah, on HOF I don’t like them but vision doesn’t matter this year. I want 99 Wagner of course but he isn’t worth that much lol

Love the Red Sox but I live in SoCal so I gotta root for the Padres. 5 grand slams in 6 games by 5 different players! Love watching the Astros suffer as well lol

@ItsaCanesthing said in Ok...now I need some team advice:

Should i consider this a flex?

Not a flex, more like paralysis by analysis. There are sooooo many great cards that you begin to doubt your choices.
Even more if one player has a bad game or two, the knee j-e-r-k reaction is to bench them.

I can agree. I've put in a lot of hours due to my job and having surgery on my knee. I've accumulated a lot of stubs and a pretty much every card I could want. (can't justify Josh Donaldson, but I'm really trying hard).

It gets to a point where you have more toys but it doesn't make you're squad any better.

Yeah, I play 2 hours a day. Addictive with all of the content lol.

I’d say 300k

Next question: is he, or anyone, worth that much?

I don't know if Ricky Henderson is worth 300k. He's a good card, for sure, but I'd end up having him in the bench at-best based upon the other options available.

Is anyone worth 300k? Probably, although based upon the content we've been giv n this year, I don't think any "must-have" cards cost that much. Just luxurious.

No way...I got Sale at 300k and it wasn’t worth it but I like him irl. Rickey has one of the worst swings I’ve seen, he is worth 200k at the most lol

Pfft worst swings, Rickey thinks Rickey has one of the greatest swings ever. Rickey's the greatest afterall.

But yes all kidding aside i wouldn't spend 300k for Henderson if you feel like spending 300/400k wait awhile for Wagner to fall (If he falls below 500k that is.)

I don’t think Wagner will fall much, 700k is the lowest I see.

Offline putz

You mean offline elite lol

We are the chosen non casual noobs, we play with skill.

So much skill you don’t even play

There isn't an actual baseball Season in the game, If SDS patched in a 60 game schedule with the increased playoff teams and no people in the Stands then I'd have a reason to play. What?, you expect me to play with online casuals? no way!

You don’t even play offline...idk what your point is ever here lol

I would like to see an event where you have to pick one team, and can only field players from that team. With all the cards out you could field very competitive squads with just one team to choose from. No restrictions on card type, just team. Would be cool if every time you got two losses you can repick a team to try out different squads. Would be a fun way to use a lot of these cards that are built up with no place to use them.

Would be cool if you stop randomly attacking people as well

Oh saladbar, how I love the

How you love the what lol? How you love making people’s lives miserable...oh ok...makes sense because that is what your job around here seems like. Maybe your name should be Dr. Max Miserable lol...I like it

I rarely post , and always try to be helpful when I do. Sorry if I find most of your posts annoying olivegarden. Also I don’t attack you or anyone so don’t get all 2020 on me

Ok, if you find most of my posts annoying, why do you? Tbh I don’t see you helping much lol

Cool story bro

Do you know how to answer a question?

First thing is trout is the easiest upgrade available to your team depending where your at with the collection. I would also move biggio to catcher, posey doesn’t seem to produce at the level his stats show, unless you are mashing with him. I would look at putting Jackie at 2b, he may be the most underrated card in the game. I’m hitting over .400 with him with 10 bombs in just over 100 abs, the vast majority of those abs have been on HOF. I would add another lefty to your pen, Franco is good to bring in after a flamethrower but only having 1 lockdown type lefty in Chapman can be tough, especially if you face a heavy left handed lineup. My advice is add Wagner to your pen (not the million stub one unless you have those stubs to burn) the tops now Tyler Alexander is sneaky good, I like him more than Franco, plus out of the stretch he’s nasty.

I have Jackie and don’t like him. I could replace posey now that I think about it. I like Franco a lot but could try someone else. Idk about that Alexander. I’m not getting Trout, not worth it for me. He won’t be in my end game outfield for sure since I don’t like his swing

If you're not attached to Posey, replace him. There are multiple better catchers out there now - Posada, Wieters, even Panda.

I wouldn’t buy one of those, I’d move Biggio to Cather and bo to 2nd to try Rollins. Posada doesn’t have good defense, Wieters has a tiny pci against righties, and panda has bad fielding as well

@KCMahomies said in A Quick Note and Friendly Reminder:

friendly reminder to go [censored] yourself @Victor_SDS

Woah there buddy...we aren’t trying to murder anyone here.

97 Chapman is the best lefty reliever in the game unless you want to pay 900k for Wagner. Rivera is a top 5 righty in the game so I would lean towards Chapman

I don't like Bo at SS. I feel with Sheffield, you need a SS with more speed to make up with his limited range (to get to balls in the hole).
Rollins provides that and is an absolute menace at the plate.

I tried Rollins and hate that small strike zone! I wish I could like it because of that switch hitting ability and that defense. On the other hand...I love bo’s swing and don’t mix that closed stance. Always love Bichette cards...I think at this point I wait for Wagner but I can look into giving Rollins another shot

I love the small strike zone. Less area to cover so getting good PCI placement with anything in the zone is much, much easier. And we all know a fraction of an inch can make a huge difference when it comes to contact quality.

Problem for me with the small strike zone is laying off of the high pitches which is one of my string suits when it comes to normal strike zones. Idk where to put Bo if I use Rollins. Maybe move Sheffield to the bench I guess

Whoa....Bench Sheff??
Bench Biggio before you bench Sheff. And Biggio gives you position flexibility off the bench.

I should have added Biggio is a machine. Lead off hitter and hits around 300 for me which is perfect for leading off. I think he has the 2nd or 3rd highest average for me and is great at 2nd base...Sheffield strikes out too much which would make him move to the bench first
