  • Anyone know the players for the first 2 tournaments?
  • How else can I contact them? I'm getting no offers. I have no way to get gold except watching a couple of videos for 4 gold each time and occasionally when I win a game. I was going to spend to remove ads but now since I can't get gold I'm considering restarting which would be a hassle.
  • Still not getting any offers. Any tips on how to resolve this?
  • Santana's numbers are from about the same level, maybe from some weaker pitchers though. I just used a franchise coin on Abreu but instead of replacing Encarnacion at 1st he replaced my DH one of my bench players was put in my outfield instead of my starter when I played the games I had Abreu for. Why is this?
  • What are Machado's skills?
  • Farquhar, Chapman, Jepsen, and Walden are the guys I would recommend but they're in different packs. Lopez and Casilla also have 9 stuff, Rodney, Strop, Soria and Bastar(d)o have 9 arms, and Reed is a 4* but those guys not as good as the first 4 I mentioned in my opinion. In addition to the pack Bravoman mentioned there's…
  • I haven't had Paxton or Smyly available to me unfortunately. Did see Garcia, Gonzalez, and Kazmir available but forgot to add them.
  • So is it when power is higher than contact?

  • I haven't really bought many but haven't got anything good when I did. You could just keep hitting the view button to keep seeing potential picks until you see all available players and counting the chances of getting a player you consider an improvement. Also, if you don't have 300 gold you can keep hitting buy and it…
  • I'm pretty sure in MLB today for pitchers it's close to a 72/28 split and the game should be about the same. I agree at the high contact ratings (like 8 and 9) it's a big jump. It kind of also allows them to hit pitches that aren't fast***** much better if you swing so you don't always have to focus on getting one. So if…
  • But would you take say a lefty with say a 6 rating over a righty with a 7 contact rating all else equal?
  • Thanks. Showing their numbers from a large sample really helps with the decision. I think Span's a lock (same contact as Jay plus great at stealing bases for only 1 less power) but am going back and forth on Gardner/Jay. One thing that hurts Jay's case as a starter is that I've been using him off the bench pinch hitting…
  • How much of an advantage is switch hitting or batting lefty? 1 or 2 contact points maybe?
  • What's his SB%? I try to keep it over 70%. Your upgrade level is probably higher than mine. I know Jay can make a lot of contact but so can the rest of my lineup. Gardner's got 3 more power and 3 more speed for just 2 contact. If I had to guess I would say Jay would bat around .315/.355/.395 with Gardner at .285/.325/.425…
  • I agree with the last two. I would put the top 3 in a different order though. I like Span's contact and speed. I was thinking him and then Gardner over Jay because with my upgrades 5 speed isn't enough to steal so Jay is only good at one thing. Also I think Span is better since to me 4 more speed is worth more than 1 more…
  • Byrd (advantage in power is huge, more overall points and 4.5 stars) Pretty close. Could go either way.
  • How many games do you have to win? Would you say they are worth it?
  • 4 #1 picks: Werth OF 5* (my first 5* ever) Jon Jay OF 4* Miguel Montero C 3* Ryan Raburn OF 4* Werth made my team, Raburn and Jay made my bench although my other 2 outfielders are 4* as well. Montero was exactly equal to my last C (Pinto) but my lineup needed a lefty so I kept Montero. Plus I got Castro (I already have…
  • Also how would you rank these position players: 8 4 2, 6 7 3, or 6 6 5?
  • So you suggest getting Ryu? I don't have the patience to save up 2000 gold. Also I agree it's important to upgrade defense because of what you said as well as they only let you rent position player for some reason. I don't rent them, but if I did it would be nice to have some SP or RP available.
  • Your opponents put the ball in play more, so that's a part of it but that doesn't explain a gap of over 40 errors. The gap from the Ks would only be maybe 5-7 errors in your case if you assume a .970 fielding percentage and multiply the difference in Ks by .97 and then subtract that number from the difference. So you're…
  • How many strikeouts do your pitchers get? What is your upgrade for pitch calling and how are your pitchers arm ratings? If your opponents strike out less than you that gives you more opportunities to make errors. This might help a little to prevent them, but not a ton. My pitchers have way more Ks than my opponents and I…
  • Have you tried the positional draft pick? They're the same as a 1st round pick but more expensive because you get a player only from the position you're looking for. I haven't tried it, but it may be worth it if those are your only needs. I don't think anyone wants to buy one of those 3 player packs because they're so…
  • Also how much should I value the pitch calling upgrade?
  • But then how would you factor in the opponents base coach and the runner speed to get the CS%?
  • Actually passed ***** don't result in earned runs.
  • Normally I never would bunt with a runner on third but I saw someone else do it and it scored a run and now I do from time to time as long as the infield isn't in and it hasn't failed to get the runner in yet.
    in Bunt hits Comment by JGYank October 2014
  • Would you say speed improves your chances of getting one? Or do the fielders just not reach the ball and it's all from bunting skill?
    in Bunt hits Comment by JGYank October 2014
  • We really have to make Cashman failed a meme. I've been using my cash on some FAs as well so I knew what I was getting and could choose where to improve but in hindsight that was probably a bad move since the upgrades were only a half star. I'm probably just going to stick with #1 picks. It takes longer to buy the upgrades…
    in Ab/hr Comment by JGYank October 2014
  • Thanks. Those prices are really high. I guess it's necessary to keep everyone from reaching level 9. My system has been to use gold for players and cash for the upgrades but I guess that will have to change. So basically once you reach level 6 on all the upgrades and get good enough players that all the free agents require…
