What Does Your DD Squad Look Like?

[BigOscar]

Currently

C-CAP (need 11 more innings for final upgrade
1B- Matt olson/Rhys Hoskins/Cody Bellinger
2B- Immortal Joe Morgan
3B- Nolan Arenado
SS- AS Ben Zobrist (nearly got AS Reys who might displace him)
LF- Ronald Acuna
CF- Mike Trout
RF- AS Matt Kemp

Not really sure how to significantly improve it tbh, I could have a more rounded slugger at first, but pretty much everyone has at least 4 tools.

I reached DS last night with this team:

2B 89 OVR CAP (contact focus - just reached the max level, haven't gotten to use him in a H2H game yet)
LF 81 Kevin Kiermaier
CF 91 Andruw Jones
3B 82 Josh Donaldson
RF 82 Charlie Blackmon (It's a risk, no question - but I can't ignore his bat for now. Gets subbed out in close games)
SS 83 Trevor Story (new addition as of last night, had been using Bronze Robin Yount for his glove)
1B 83 Anthony Rizzo
C 88 Gary Carter

Bench:

2B 83 Ozzie Albies
C 83 JT Realmuto
3B 81 Josh Harrison
1B 82 Paul Konerko
RF 83 Nick Markakis (defensive sub for Blackmon in close, late games)

Rotation:

88 Kerry Wood
85 Cliff Lee
84 Michael Pineda
83 Blake Snell
82 Madison Bumgarner (new pickup)

Notable Bullpen:

82 Dellin Betances
82 AJ Ramos
83 John Axford
96 Trevor Hoffman


Sitting at 84 Bronze and I intend to take Gwynn to end the Blackmon problem when I hit Silver.

Want that Ben Zobrist card that bad? haha

Having collections instead of exchanges for team affinity would have been way better.

This is basically my way of grinding team affinities. I want Zobrist because he's a clear upgrade to Merrifield for my Super Utility off the bench. Though he'd probably start while I'm grinding CAP positions.

I hear ya, I cant get myself to grind like that for just that one goal, at least last year I could work on a few things at once in mindless cpu games.

Lucky for me it kills the CAP Grind as well. I'm actually putting all the equipment buffs I get into a spreadsheet so I can more easily see the adjusted overalls. It's actually making the next pick really hard. For Example, the adjusted stats of my next SS Choice. I don't know if speed/defensive stats can break 99 or not, so I have it formatted like that
