@cosmicwonders_ said in Prime: Darvish or Oswalt:
Prime Darvish - mainly 2 pitch mix; slider with "knee buckler" quirk & cutter which doesn't need a quirk this year it's so good
Prime Oswalt - mainly 2 pitch mix; sinker with "sinkerballer" quirk which is probably tied with the Cutter as best 2 pitches in game & 12-6 curve with "knee buckler"
Prestige Oswalt on the other hand adds "cheesy" to 4 seam fastball which could be a difference maker
do you have more success throwing sliders or 12-6? they each have both but with opposite "quirks". Cutter or "Sinkerballer" ? plan on prestiging Oswalt? you could easily have success with both if used accordingly to your style

Similar pitchers by the looks. Anyone have experience with both to really give any insight?
Those pitcher quirks don't do anything they just mean the pitch reaches a certain threshold in break and maybe control. It's just meant to be an easy way to figure out what pitches are good.
This site Daddy Leagues has the pitch stats for most guys, highly recommend using it.

They're fairly similar but Darvish is much more of wild strikeout guy whereas Oswalt is easier to hit but has 5 decent pitches and a lot of control, more pitch to contact. Darvish has a nasty cutter and slider and the 12-6 .
