Classic Set Previews: TIER THREE PITCHERS

Now we're into the (hopefully) building blocks for the bottom of your rotation and bullpen: the tier 3 starters and relievers. Honestly, there are enough decent starters here to form an entire rotation out of and still be fine. Only the more forgiving point values (i.e. a 5 on at 16 starter like 00 David Cone is only 400 rather than 450 points) make better, Tier 2 aces a cost-effective enough option to make even the most hitter heavy managers pause at that idea.

Classic Set Previews: TIER TWO PITCHERS

Tier Two starters are still aces. For the classic set, there are far more tier 2 pitchers than there would normally be, but that's the joy/curse of putting together a collection filled to the brim with former superstars. Hall of Famers like Juan Marichal, Nolan Ryan, Don Drysdale, Jim Palmer and more are in this tier. For RPs, there are studs like Rich Goosage, Mudcat Grant, and Dan Quisenberry. We were also pleased to see former-elementary-school-classmate's-father Dan Plesac make the cut for the Brewers in this Tier!

This is the Tier that most people will heavily invest in, as there are aces and deals to be made, especially for the bullpen. Enjoy sifting through memory lane with these great players!
