    Curious what you'd do in my situation...

    I have, I think, a pretty stacked bullpen. I didn't have any diamond cards in the pen though. I've been using Blake Treinen to close,and the rest of my pen is as follows

    Filipe Vazquez
    Raisel Iglesias/Kirby Yates (depends on the modifier)
    Roberto Osuna
    Sean Doolittle
    Dellin Betances
    And I again rotate Craig Kimbrel/Brad Hand/Adam Ottavino

    I don't really NEED 3 lefties in my bullpen. And Hader only has 2 different fastballs, and a slider. I have most of the Brewers players (including Yelich from a pack)... And Hader is going for about 24k in stubs. I've used him in a few save spots, but the bulk of my save are from Trienan and Osuna. I've used Hader about 8 times. His fastball usually tops out around mid 90s... So he's not overpowering ppl. I've pitched 6.2 innings with him, 10Ks, 5 saves, and a 0.00ERA.

    I'm just curious what other ppl would do... Sell him, or lock him in with the collection. I'm a Yankees fan, and I doubt I'll get all 3 diamonds for them to complete the Yankees set. But I can do the Brewers set because I have both diamond players. If I sell him, I'd have roughly 45k in stubs. I was looking at buying either Judge, or flashback Mark Prior or Kerry Wood... My starting rotation is solid too. I just wanted to add to it.
    I've got diamond Roy Oswalt, and diamond Steven Strausburg.
    The other 3 slots again depend on modifiers. Right now I've got Carlos Carrasco (89 w/mod), Patrick Corbin (85 w/mod) and Rookie Michael Pineda. But I haven't pitched with him yet. I swap out guys, mostly all star Robbie Ray, Kyle Hendricks, Luis Severino, Greinke/Morton/Walker Buehler if the mod has them around 85 or higher.

    My lineup is stacked. So runs aren't really at a premium. I could technically field an entire team of diamond players, with 3 diamond back ups (all gotten through packs with 2 exceptions) but I'd rather start Lorenzo Cain in center than Torii Hunter. (Cain is one of the most underrated players in the game. He will go diamond by next month)

    Anyway... I was curious what you would do in my shoes... Sell Hader, and solidify a rotation spot as well as adding a fielder, buy packs, Judge (if he's still under 40k. I want the Mattingly card rated 94!!!) Or stick it out with Hader?

    I’d lock him in. If you play enough you’ll eventually earn enough stubs to purchase Judge.

      Was looking... Joey Votto is under 20k... If I sold Hader I could get both Votto (although I have Bellinger and Frank Thomas) and be able to get Kerry Wood (88) or Mark Prior (90)... For a pitcher I don't really need...

        What I'd do is switch to franchise mode and enact some self imposed trade restrictions.

          Completely unhelpful. I really only play diamond dynasty, and have gotten into the March to October mode... Don't really care about playing franchise this early in the year. That's more towards the end of the season....
