What Does Your DD Squad Look Like?

[FSanchez12]

I've spent $$ to stockpile stubs in anticipation of a future SS Andrew McCutchen Card becoming available. But up until then, I have spent none of my stubs that I purchased on my current club:

3B: FS Senzel
CF: LS Marte
C: Kendall (whatever one comes with the Digital DL portion, had to get my childhood favorite)
1B: LS Rizzo
CF: LS Springer
RF: LS Acuna Jr
SS: LS Story
2B: 83 Robinson

C: 83 Bench
SS: TN Cole Tucker
OF: FB Bryan Reynolds
1B: LS Josh Bell (flip flops with Willie Stargell based on IE)
OF: LS Blackmon (sometimes flip flops with TN Mallex Smith when I need speed)

SP: 89 Oswalt
SP: LS Snell
SP: 83 Burnett
SP: LS Grenkie
SP: LS Morton

RP: 78 Fergie Jenkins
RP: 79 Chris Sale
RP: 82 Hunter Strickland
RP: LS Felipe Vasquez
RP: LS Kirby Yates
RP: LS Sean Doolittle
RP: LS Blake Treinen

With the sale they had going on for PS+, I just bought up 3 months of membership, so far 9-0 on RS, but I'm quickly approaching my "play level" for opponents. Less teams like mine, more with tons of SS-level diamonds. I really just want to get up above 500 to get the Salvy Perez reward that goes with it, and get up over 200 stars for the 3rd Inning to cash in on reward there. Now that I can play online, I feel like it'll be immensely easier to gobble up stars for the 4th inning program. Really want to work on the Royals TA here soon for the George Brett/Sabrehagen rewards

Holy Moses, so my how things have changed over the last month.

I went away from just putting together the best possible team, and now I'm just playing with players I enjoy playing with/my favorite players. Even losing has been fun since I started doing this. I also discovered the power of using a CAP (Holy Crap why was I not using one before???!?!?). Here's what I look like right now, subject to change when I add McCutchen from the 4th Inning:

RF: LS Charlie Blackmon
SS: CAP of Me (decently looks like me too)
C: AS Jason Kendall
3B: SS George Brett
1B: LS Josh Bell
CF: LS Ronald Acuna Jr
2B: LS Trevor Story
LF: LS David Dahl
P: Pitcher's Spot

RF: VT Willie Stargell
3B: RK Nolan Arenado
3B: PS Pedro Alvarez
SS: LS Trea Turner
C: PS: Salvador Perez

P: SS Justin Verlander
P: SS Clayton Kershaw
P: SS Madison Bumgarner
P: SS Adam Wainwright
P: RK Roy Oswalt

RP: 79 Chris Sale
RP: RK Ken Giles
RP: TA Felipe Vasquez (Rivero)
RP: LS Kirby Yates
RP: LS Sean Doolittle
RP: LS Blake Treinen
CP: AS Greg Holland

I did end up spending add'l $$ so that I could guarantee I could have George Brett on my team. It's my first real season playing DD, and I've always wanted to play with the guy I was named after, so even though it was $$ to a virtual world, it was money well spent IMO.

I'm excited to see what comes in the next Program, but I'm also heavily invested in Aaron Nola, and have some side investments in Charlie Morton, Zach Grenkie, and Brad Hand. I'm hoping to see at least one, maybe two of them end up getting a bump at the end of the week so I can go out and buy a LS Arenado. What I like so much about the XP progression this year is I always feel that *does pinching motion* close to adding the next big piece. Cutch is right around the corner for the 4th inning, and Tony Gywnn/Duke Snider is not too far off either, as I'm at Bronze 89 right now.

Got a bit of an overhaul... my line up and subs

2B Altuve
LF Yelich
1B Frank Thomas signature series
RF Vlad Guerrero
3B Max Muncy (all star) (swapped with Machado, and Senzel futures card)
C Joe Torre
SS Cal Ripken Jr

Subs
Adrian Gonzalez (88)
Rendon
Senzel
Brantley (All Star card)
Acuna Jr

I also swap different guys in and out of there...

My staff

Kershaw signature series
Ryan signature series
Wainwright signature series
Luis Castillo all star
Mike Scott (from Astros collection completion)

Again, I swap out guys, I use the 89 Oswalt, 88 King Felix, Thor, love Walker Buehler, as well as a few others.... Only true mainstays in the rotation are Kershaw and Wainwright.

Pen
Andrew Miller
Osuna
Yates
Hader
Treinen (closer)
Giles (86)
And I rotate one spot depending on who's hot.
