I brought 1 bxp pitcher to p10 when I jumped who was 350 max. Corbin and maybe Woodruff are the only two worth anything to you in platinum if you’re going to try and grind through a couple tiers or want to eventually go diamond. G10 pitchers fare okay both as prime or keepers but I think your other 3 except maybe Shoemaker will get trounced in bonus games. @Base15
@dustyhunks I see the first four pitchers as being pretty similar. What makes you think one would fair better than the others? I realize Hamels is weak. I could replace him now, but he is fairly close to 7300 innings for 300 gold so I’m trying to get him there.
Prime skills are worthless for bonus games. I assume you have thoughts of going diamond which means lots of bonus games. Plus capping a 320, 325 and 340 max if you choose to costs same as 350 max guy with less upside due to lesser ratings. I had a 380 and 400 max prime at g10 while in platinum and they got hit very hard. Cant imagine Hamels winning a game.
The low pitchers will win some games but they’re going to get hit hard doing it. When I went to diamond I still had 1 skill pitchers in Flaherty and Paddack at 310-315 at G10, though this was a few months ago. My Ace was a 340 Paxton with Darvish at 325 being the 2nd starter. To make your life easier I’d take 2-3 starters as high as possible (nothing below max 350s though) if you’re planning going past plat and probably would do the same if you weren’t. Yeah I know you want to level as many bats as possible and you will want at least 4 for classic and 7 for Royale.
Honestly I wouldn’t. We’re it me I would level my best two rhb and lhb to at least p7-8 then hunt boxes on the weekend for players I could level with field pass at half off. You’ll get the latest releases with the best attributes for the same cost as a p1-p10 levelup. If you want to cycle cap a player tomorrow I bet you could get it done with 4x bats to P10; should be able to spit cycles fast enough to loop 10-12 times and then you’ll have 5 p10 bats. Wait for the WOH prize to be announced before you choose your 4.
I jumped from gold to platinum two weeks ago using a POTM strategy. I threw a mint of gold at POTM boxes until I had all 8 guys and leveled them all to G10. The Cole and Strasburg POTMs are absurdly strong performers and can easily carry your team through diamond. Note that at platinum/diamond your bullpen is actually important because its not uncommon for G10 starters to give up 10+ runs and get the hook after 4 innings. At the time I made the move, I didn't level any bats (had 6 primes at G10) and was still able to cycle cap classic in platinum. I jumped to diamond after one week at platinum and leveled all POTMs to at least D9. This has been mentioned in many posts in the past, but cycling diamond 6 provides easy access to gold and evo which makes this game so much more fun! Best of luck!
