Joss and Alexander are top 2 in my opinion.  Pedro and Maddux seem to get hit around a lot more at the higher caps, especially Pedro and his ridiculous HR/9 treatment.

Pedro's "ridiculous HR/9 treatment" seems pretty right to me.  His HR/H is higher than league average, so as he gives up hits he's going to give up HRs.  The only reason his HR/9+ is over 100 is because his hit rate is so low.  The engine doesn't care about HR/9 or HR/9+, only HR/H.

The "ridiculous" part is playing in higher caps, and he gets crushed by Ruth, Mantle, Gehrig, Williams, over and over again.....that is all I meant.  Joss and Alexander can keep the ball in the park at pretty much any cap, which is why I have had better luck with both of them.

I've NEVER used Alexander. He doesn't even show up in search results at $255mil for me. Not sure why. And looking at league ERAs he doesn't seem all that hot anyway.

To each their own.  Last team I had that won 105 games, Pete was 29-7, ERA was around 4.00....but the cap was 180.

I'm not sure I'd use Alexander at $255 million, but for the $120-$160 million range he's one of the best.  He also all-but-single-handedly won an OL for me last year.

Yep.  When you get to a cap that high, WHO can you rely on?  I think all the same guys still apply (Joss, Alexander, Walter, etc) but you just need more of them.  Nobody really pitches well at that cap anyway.  All about out-crushing the other guy.

Pedro 2000 went 22-0 regular season and 4-1 in the playoffs to win my first championship (also won Cy Young).  Granted it was a progressive but still, pretty impressive numbers...

Alexander can suck my nutsack.  Joss is doing well for me in 3 leagues right now, but traditionally underperforms on my teams.  Maddux is the most sure thing to me, though I admittedly haven't used Pedro all that much.

What part of the post did you not get?  What pitcher can be relied on to be super duper awesome at a 255 million dollar cap?  Everyone has Lajoie, Cobb, Ruth, Ted, blah blah blah....everyone gets smacked around.  Boogerlips....you tool.

Ma, I won an award!!!
