Seriously. I have low level Diamonds and Golds on my staff. Sigh. Yeah, the good upper 90s Diamond pitchers always come with a healthy premium. I don't have 40 plus k to play with

I can think of a couple of exceptions (that I'm not going to name because I don't own them yet!) but I agree with you - the low 90s pitchers aren't all that great. Is there an alternative though? I think if someone in Perfect went with even high gold pitchers they'd get massacred (like Motown did last year!).

In other news, my non-OL team (it has LIVE players, but would be OL-compliant otherwise) got put in a Perfect League with a pod of whales. Just got swept by a team with FIFTEEN perfect cards. Their roster has only one card under a 96 OVR, and currently has a 40-6 record. {golf-clap} EDIT: After losing seven straight, I finally decided to pull the plug and transfer all LIVE players off the active 40-man roster. This includes a 100 OVR Yelich. Unfortunately, having succumbed to the lure of Missions, Yelich, along with nine other Gold/Diamond players have been locked and cannot be sold. (Beware the Missions!) So building a competitive roster while playing in a whale-filled Perfect League should be...interesting. The only ray of hope is that although I currently sit in 4th place, I am only 2.5 games out of first, due to the fact that the first place team is 4 games under .500.

He's not shutdown, but he's at least passable. And also consider that pitcher performance is a HUGE function of the rest of your team composition and strategy. You can have big Walt pitching for you, it doesn't matter if your defense is subpar and your ballpark settings are pro-hitting (or just pro-lefties).

Las Vegas Still Leads in OL S314
The Gamblers are again the front-runners, going 12-7 to hold the top spot, with San Pedro, 12-8, Mudville, 6-1, Antique, 10-7, and Amarillo, 9-4, making moves up the standings. Everett (this time I made sure) has been the most OL-centric team, having played 50 of 53 games in OL competition.

Perfect league update:
Washington moves into the lead, with five other OL teams playing .600 or better ball through May. |

Iron league update:
Stephensville on top of a minimal OL schedule (only 3 more games remain between Stephensville and Gotham. No OL games for O'Fallon this season). overall - Gotham only 1 game back of the AC Central lead; Stephensville (9 game win streak) and O'Fallon (10 game win streak) playing over .700 ball through May (perhaps one/two/all three OL teams can build on their solid regular season play and make a good post season run this round). |

D355 Update
Grey Wolves maintain lead in Diamond but challengers are nipping at their heels
Chippewa stayed atop the Diamond OL standings this month, but it's a tight race still - Aukland, Cooper, and Annandale are in a pack right behind them, ready to pounce if the Grey Wolves falter. |

G307 update
Philly Patriots out in front, albeit a limited number of games.
Woodinville has almost an entire month of OL games for June, should help shake up the standings a bit.

95+ OL=compliant SPs to stay away from: 96: Ryan, Soto, and Vander Meer 95: Lincecum, Jenkins, and Cone < 95 OL-compliant pitchers that can be ok: 94: Sabathia, Plank, Reuschel, Carlton 93: Schooler, Moore 92: Carlos, Maddux, Trout, Myers, Sad Sam Jones, Rogers 91: Astacio 89: Maddux HIgh MOV is very important in perfect (about equal to CON+STU together). CON follows, STU is less important. CON below 50 is bad. So what are the best values/deals <= 30k on OL-compliant pitchers, in my opinion? #1, by a wide margin: Eddie Plank (94): He is much cheaper on AH (about 20-22k) than other pitchers at his level. Why is he so cheap? Primarily because his collection (Oakland LIVE) is so cheap to complete. It generally can be completed for 15k-18k. So that is a great <=20k option that just about anybody can do. #2: Robin Roberts(95): I have no idea WHY he goes for less than 20k, but he does, consistently. #3: Reuschel(94): around 25k, slightly worse than Plank #4. Sabathia(94): Right around 30k... slightly better pitcher than Plank, but more expensive.

probably can't stress that enough.... I have Willis Hudlin (83) in my bullpen (mov=90).... and while it's a small sample size (not like he's eating up 7+ innings as a starter), in my 3+ seasons at the Perfect tier, he leads my team in ERA+ with a 259; and had an ERA in the low 1.xx in season 1 and 3. picked up Sad Sam Jones (another high movement pitcher at 88) late last year to finish up the mission to nab Smoky Joe Wood; so hoping Jones can duplicate the bullpen work that Hudlin has at this level....

So far he's not doing well in Perfect, but interestingly not because he's giving up a lot of homers (currently at 0.9 HR/9). He has a high BABIP at near .400. Some of that may be luck. But some may be because he's a Groundball Pitcher and my SS Ozzie Smith is "only" rated ~93 there. I'll keep testing him out, and maybe stick Aparicio in there to see if that helps. |

This is a list of SPs, RPs are another matter entirely.

Unrelated to the pitcher talk going on, the Blitzkrieg Boppers and the Green Lake Cowboys played a 3 game series in P414, with the Boppers taking 2 out of 3. They meet again for 4 on The Range in late-July.

I saw Schooler, so I thought RPs were included.

I guess the same arguments being made here are true somewhat for relievers, but relievers are less stratified and with more options for F2P at lower rarities. For example, it's well known that Borbon, Hersh Freeman, Howe, Fingers, etc. are totally passable relievers, but their impact on team performance is less important than it is for SPs.
