MLB13 - Players You Can't Live Without

[TonyMoraco]

There is one thing I personally can't never stay away from...and that is acquiring the same players over and over again for my repective franchise team.

I want to list those players that I always find myself acquiring sooner or later, in this title and previous titles:

SP - C. Wang / It does't matter how bad he is IRL and in the game I always pitch very well with him

IF/OF - Justin Turner / I really like him on my bench

OF - Will Venable / when the need comes for an OF and leadoff, I always trade for him

RP's - Luke Gregerson and Brian Dunsing / I always end up acquiring these 2

It does not matter how good or bad my team is, it feels empty if I don't have one of these players.

I have a couple of more guys that end up in my roster...


But for now, Who are those players that you can't live without??

I had to sign Brian Wilson as a free agent. No choice. I needed the Beard.

It used to be Craig Counsell for me, & then the last 3 years I'd get Wakefield & his knuckler. This year I played a few exhibition games with R.A Dickey
hopin' to recapture the magic but it just didn't feel the same, so I didn't go through with gettin' him in my franchise. This year I find myself missin' Emilio Bonifacio. Maybe I'll deal for him.

Re: MLB13 - Players You Can't Live Without

Not exactly the same, but I miss guys like Jim Edmonds & Carlos Delgado.
I always enjoyed using them on my rosters. Now the best I can get is usually cheap recreations.

Re: MLB13 - Players You Can't Live Without

I've been doing a Tampa franchise for a few years now... Ben Zobrist saved my season 2 years ago, and he was pretty great for me last year too. Kyle Farnsworth was also outstanding out of the 'pen...

But this year I'm running a Mets franchise again, and boy do I miss Carlos Beltran, and in fact, Carlos Delgado. That duo never let me down in MVP Baseball.

I'll tell you who I don't miss, in real life or on my team in The Show: BJ Upton. Good Riddance. If he could trade even a quarter of those strikeouts for hits... I would have made the playoffs!

Re: MLB13 - Players You Can't Live Without

Mike Trout
This ones pretty simple. He's a great hitter and I need to get him (Fantasy Drafts)

Jimmy Paredes
He plays multiple positions and moving him to 2nd ups his trade value and makes him an 69 overall. He's a pretty decent hitter and fielder and easy to use.

Jarrod Saltalamacchia
Another guy I can rely to hit well with and I need one ridiculous name on my team

Starling Marte
Hes usually a decent guy to put in center. Steals Bases, shows glimpses of power, and has great potential. Not a MUST have, but a strong option in the outfield

[vinny_pizza]

My homer pick is Granderson, love hitting with him.

As for another guy, I'm loving Bautista in my Nats chise. The guy hits everything!

I seem to go after Arodys Vizcaino. With him and Aroldis Chapman, I am used to throwing 100mph fastballs.

Arodys Vizcaino is nice in my cubs franchise. wished he threw a slider. i demand all my pitchers throw a slider.

DH: David Ortiz - A no brainer. I hit 3 HRs today with him, I think that speaks for itself.

2B: Dustin Pedroia - Another no brainer. I always grind out at bats with him, and every so often he can hit one out of the park or steal a base. Great defense as well.

OF: Jacoby Ellsbury - Every year I always seem to hit very well with him. Good leadoff hitter, great speed and defense. I just always feel comfortable using him.

INF: Pedro Ciriaco - A great backup to have. He can play 2B, SS and some 3B. Pretty good defense, good speed off the bench. Not a power threat but can make good contact.

Re: MLB13 - Players You Can't Live Without

Another player I always get is Chris Snyder as a back up catcher...currently I have him backing up Jason Castro...

He can hit'em deep!

How about Nady backing up your Left handed First Baseman, you can plug him in the OF too

Re: MLB13 - Players You Can't Live Without

I am a huge Rockies fans so of course I am going to go with 2 obvious choices:

Troy Tulowitzki - Amazing arm/fielding and a great all around hitter.

Carlos Gonzalez - Probably my favorite player in real life. Again I love his arm.. can gun out anyone at the plate. Also gotta love the speed and power.

A few wild cards:

Jonathan Herrera - He may not be rated high at all, but I love the guy in real life. Fundamentally sound and can play 2nd, SS, and 3rd.

Eric Young Jr. - Arguably the fastest player in the league. I love playing with him on The Show.

Jeremy Guthrie - I played with him for a few weeks when he was playing for the Rockies and I seemed to dominate with him. I even threw a no hitter with him against one of my friends... not that that's saying much lol.

Re: MLB13 - Players You Can't Live Without

Despite the fact I'm inviting all the haters...

I still can't live without A-Rod. It damn near killed me to put him on the DL in my chise.
