Where to start.,.
93 Didi, 95 Correa, 94 Chipper somehow, 92 Piazza..Cards I'll never use again.. really bummed about Chipper.. no idea why I struggled with them. All were given about a 30 AB sample
I would give each 100 AB before u quit. Many times you start presssing with those players because u want a hit so bad. Just treat them like u would any other player.
For example I started off terribly with both trout and biggio. But I struggle righty on righty anyways. However once I started being more patient I saw both their BA rise. Trout leads my team in HRs
Ya I hear you. I'd probably come around on a few of them. My reasoning for using a 30 AB sample size is mostly because I play under 200 games in RS a year.. not enough to try guys too long..
If I really like the player I'll keep trying. Lofton for example. I struggled and popped everything up the first 20 ABs... And for a 91 rated card, I'd probably just move on. But I love Lofton so kept going. Now he's hitting like .420 online for me...
Larkin had a .750 ops after 150 abs.. I kept trying because I wanted him to work.. but he just didn't do it for me and I gave up.

87 POTM Sanchez

I struggle with Trout, 30 bombs, but under .200 avg.. I'm an avg player...
Struggled with Reggie, brought him back on a second run, and he was ok, but he's best for me on the bench.. Correa I can't hit with.. Sheff seems better since the last patch..

Sheffield took some getting used to. But once you figure out his swing and get used to the fact he stands right over the plate, look out! He's a monster
-
Ironically my two highest rated XP path players. Rollie Fingers and Posey.
I know with Posey I just need another 100 ABs for my eye to adapt to the timing of his swing and then I'll connect more, but with Fingers...
I've noticed that if I just don't use his forkball I'm ok. But dang that's an annoying compromise.
-
For sure its Reggie. I will pinch hit Yelich against righties way before I think about hitting Reggie.
-
This is pretty much my whole team because I suck. But the main guy is Matt Kemp. Was able to pull him out of a headliner, but just can’t hit with him.
Recently sold him but might pick him back up and keep trying when his price drops.
-
Giambi, just can’t do it
-
Bench and Reggie Jackson.
-
I say it every time it comes up; I can't hit w/Arenado to save my life.

88 FOTF Gleyber, I'm hitting like 200 with him in 70 at bats

The thing I've found with Gleyber, facing him a lot. He crushes any fastball especially inside. But has an enormous hole in his swing if you can locate down and away. After learning this I swear I've got him out every time I've faced him online.

Funny how a guy doesn't work for you at all and you bench him. Decide to give him another try and he rips. That's what happened to me with 93 Didi. Just proves that some of us want to do so good with a certain player that we press. I absolutely ripped with 99 McCovey last year. Sold him to get 99 Foxx and couldn't hit my way out of a wet paper bag with him.

in the .200s with diamond Gary Sanchez. 0 homers still with diamond Hanley which confuses me
-
Reggie is [censored]!
-
Was hitting under .100 with the 91 Ty Cobb through 50 online AB. After 130 ABs up to .250 and feeling much more comfy with him. If its a card you like I'd give them 100-150 ABs, but that can be tough this year, the gameplay really disincentivizes you from playing.

Pretty sure iam the only one that sucks with Kluber

No I’m terrible with Kluber too!....FML...
-
I would agree with giving about 100ABs before giving up on them. I was hitting maybe .230 with Trout early on and gave up on him. Recently was looking for a different option in the OF and went back to him. I’m hitting over .300 with him now and has been my most consistent hitter this RS.
-
I cant hit with Sheffield and it kills me.
