Doolittle as SP (I know its been changed, but have a question)

I managed to get him locked into SP before they changed him to a reliever. Problem is, I traded in my 5th SP....

As long as I don't try move him anywhere, he can stay as SP right?

    It seems that way:

    In fairness...because his skills are for late/close situations, Doolittle sucks as a starter.  He has a 6.33 ERA, while Bauer is 1.72 and Kluber is 1.24

    Edit: This also makes me think that pitcher skills do actually matter.  My club mate didn’t get Doolittle before the position change and as a closer he has a 1.46 ERA 🤔

    He wont play more then 1 inning. I had to move him out of SP1.

    If you put in shittier relievers, he’ll still pitch 7...just not very well 😂

    Made that mistake once last year...never again.  Can’t trust Glu any more than the pornhub ads that tell you there’s chicks within 5 miles, waiting to hook up.

    I’ve said this 1000x. People working for TSB are humans. They make mistakes. We all know Doolittle is a SR not a SP. they made him a SP by mistake, they should have just left him there. Now they create all these issues for people and themselves.

    For now, until I get another SP, I am just pretending my team is doing the trendy new "opener" thing that TB started couple years ago lol

    Sorry I’m kinda new, so would I benefit at all getting Doolittle? Would he be a good RP? Or closer? If I was to pull him? Thanks!

    Yes he would but there will be better very soon.  One thing you can count on right now is the best guy on your team today won’t be good enough to make your team in a month.  How bad ya want him?
    I'm confused by what you mean by 5.7 and 5.8.  You mean the round and level?

    Good relievers are the hardest thing to find in my experience. I don’t chase them, but early in the year like this I usually upgrade them if I get them. They are definitely more valuable now than later in the year. By then, your starter will throw 9 innings and relievers are obsolete.

    You brothers are nice, so let me please ask you some off topic questions. So this is my first season, I love the game very addicted. Here’s how I’m doing and please say if I’m doing it right. So I have a current record of 368-30. Is this just beginner luck? I do have a juiced up team in mid gold. And I have 4 or 5 SP that are 138+ that I can cap at 315. Is that over kill? Should I keep investing on my upgrades on 315 max players or about time I upgrade them all to 315 they would have released new players with a higher cap? Thanks!!

    I would respond but your name has me speechless.  Hoping it’s just cause I’m too old to understand!

    Everyone wins big when they start the game, record is nothing special.  Team upgrades, specifically hitting then pitching are most important.  Personally I stay gold all year but everyone is entitled to their style, really boils down to how much money/time you want to invest.

    Is having five 315 capped SP over kill? Will there eventually be players that are have a higher cap than 315?

    It’s not overkill at all but there will be players with a 600 max at least.  Think last years top was 615 or 625, not sure without looking.

    As I said earlier in this thread, the best guy you have today probably won’t be on your team in a month.

    Yes. 330, 370, 380, 390,400... etc..all the way to probably 600. 🤷🏻‍♂️ A bump in overall will happen once a month. Players are essentially rentals unless they are an all time great player which will not be released until later in the year. 

    No having 5 capped top current overall pitchers is not overkill unless you can’t afford to level them which depends on ur style of play.

    yea the users have to take responsibility in this aspect.   The errors like this almost always get corrected and they will keep happening
