Silver King update. He's already won 17 games. The team has 32 errors in 47 games with Walter Johnson also starting. Anybody still think he's a punk?
Yep mine has 17 wins as well. I think there's 2 common mistakes I see owners make when they roster Silver King:
Mistake #1: They treat him like any other SP and set his maximum pitch count too low. Silver King should be throwing quite a few complete games, otherwise you can't get even close to his RL IP.
Mistake #2: They allow Sparky to pinch hit or pinch run for Silver King. If Sparky pinch hits or pinch runs for Silver King, he likely won't have gotten anywhere close to the number of pitches he needs to have thrown that game. Since a Silver King team shouldn't have a super deep bullpen, this will likely lead to major fatigue problems in the bullpen.
