sheish Joined: 04/30/2016 Posts: 49 Inactive | This is my 2nd full season just after having been promoted from DIV VI. Should I try and rest pitchers for the league to avoid relegation, much like I did last year to gain promotion, or play my best pitchers in the cup to try and advance at the expense of my position in the league? | ||

I mostly look at matchups so if I'm facing a League VI team or a lower end league V than I'll def. throw a prospect out there. Once the knockout rounds started though, I made sure my top 3 SP went out every game. You don't need to be a "top" team to make it to the knockout section. I think 2-3 games over .500 puts you in decent position to advance and then it's game on from there (if you choose to actually compete with your best squad). |
