Overall 90+ RP missing

RoteLaterne · 12-31-2018, 03:06 AM

I just noticed that there are NO overall 90+ Relief Pitchers out there.

Do you go with Startes in your Bullpen?

They exist... Diaz, Trehein are the lives and the historicals are numerous: Eck, Rivera, Papelbon, Nathan, Dibble, Gossage, Paige etc

They're out there. I have a 2017 Kimbrel (90) on my team. I've had a few different starters in my pen for a few weeks now with mixed results. Some are of the opinion that relievers' generally higher stuff plays better and I think I'm inclined to agree.

Good point.

In OOTP 19 PT the relievers overall value are based on a possible WAR contribution, and since they play less, they get a lower overall value. We are discussing to change this for OOTP 20, though.

All the relievers above 90 are called closers.

There is a 90 RP (not closer). Not at home, so can't open the game to check who it is, but saw him on the AH last night. Other than that, I've not seen any other diamond+ RP's.

Maybe it would be better to remove the closer as a position designation and just call all relief pitchers the same thing.

I have often wanted "all infielders", "all outfielders" and "all relief pitchers and closers" as choices to filter in the AH.
