A sizable number of people in PT (me included) like historical pitchers more because they will have higher movement ratings than the live cards due to allowing fewer home runs. Look at perfect Scherzer; he's a very solid card but he only has 55 movement and that will drag him down at the higher levels (there's a copy in my league who recorded an ERA above 4 in Perfect a few weeks ago). Specific team strategy aside, pitchers need strong ratings in all three categories and even then they can get knocked around in Perfect leagues. Cards that come to mind that seem to have worked well in Perfect are 99 Brecheen and 99 Newhouser.
