Favorite closer?

One of the main reasons I don't use FV to close is that Treinen is usually modded up to an 87, and he's got that nasty sinker. Vazquez is my favorite lefty out of the pen (that may change since Miller isn't a diamond anymore and can be had for about 6k in stubs atm). I keep 3 lefties in my pen... Felipe, Doolittle, and Hader. The righties I use are Treinen, Edwin Diaz, Osuna, and depending on whether they're modded up or down, Yates/Betances/Giles (the 86 rated rookie)

My main rotation has guys in and out of it...
99 rated Kershaw
DeGrom
Snell
Oswalt
Syndergaard
Guidry
Liriano
Strasburg...

I recently added Hader and haven’t used him much but I like him a lot. His meter is basically the perfect speed for me.

How is the Greg Holland All Star card?
I have Rodney Fernando now but I’m almost reaching level 10 silver where I can pick Greg but don’t know if he’s a better pick than Fernando...

Big fan of the Pirates Affinity Felipe Vasquez and also the Rollie Fingers Brewers Affinity. Those two cards alone have held my bullpen together so well.

Just picked up the Orioles Affinity Zach Britton and he's been absolutely killer for me, as well.

Those cards are solid

Beginning to really think some of the super high priced closers aren't worth the stubs unless you got the currency to buy whoever you Want whenever you want (some people got 4 million stubs )

Some closers are obviously better, but anybody can really get gotten. Just depends on who you are playing, and the circumstances around when they come in

I would love to have that SS Kenley but my righties are osuna/nen, flashback Robertson, rollie, and SS Hoffman. They all do pretty well for me. Is 90k+ stubs worth for kenley to take one of those spots?

I got Goose from the 1st inning program, and he's been my closer ever since

I REALLY want the Bucs lvl 50 affinity reward too. Felipe Vazquez is awesome, and I've even taken to playing conquest with a bunch of Pirate players to speed things along. But I'm going to have to play March to October to completion in order to get him.

The only reason to pony up 50k or more for a closer that's on a current team is to complete the team and get the reward. I can't justify spending 35-51k on Aroldis Chapman. Getting the Cano card would be great... But I have the Altuve card and he's awesome. I've got a ton of power bats so offense isn't my main concern. Getting a guy like Rob Nen or Dibble would be awesome though.
