For me, this description fits the 4th Inning Jacoby Ellsbury to a T. When the bosses were first shown, I laughed at the thought of someone taking him over Felix or Torre. Now? I can't take him out of my lineup (which puts one of Trout or Mantle on the bench because I've got Griffey Jr. in CF). The same can be said for that POTM Didi Gregorius.
Is there anyone that has surprised you to the point where you just can't take them out of your lineup?
Ellsbury is definitely a great candidate for surprise card. I also have to add 85 Jorge Posada to the list as well
-
Jazz for sure but Bryce Harper was hitting like crazy for me
-
Just started playing ranked. I'm 5-0 and 88 Tatis is a beast. Im hitting .722 with 2 HR, 4 doubles, 2 triples, and 7 RBIs. Just hit for the cycle with him against Kluber. Also has 2 stolen bases and plays elite defense. If I didnt see his stats and just played with him I'd think hes a high 90s rated card.
-
Peralta and Seager FOTF cards raked in the Events. Maybe people just weren’t as careful pitching to them.
-
Tony Gwynn is a base hitting machine! I cant seem to take him out b/c he does so well at getting on as my lead off. He's extremely fast as well as great defense.
-
Eddie Murray, it’s a good card but plays elite for me. So many clutch hits
-
Sandberg, correa
-
Everyone seemed to dislike Sandberg. I used him in some showdowns, and he performed well. Now, hes claimed the leadoff spot for me.
-
Alek Thomas - dbacks TAFS he takes - plays an amazing center, only downfall is he has an incredibly weak arm
-

The 85 POTM Mondesi rips bombs all over the place. He’s long been out of my lineup, but I thought he’d suck at first look.
He’s my lead off guy. I’ve had amazing luck with him this year. I won’t get rid of him

Agreed. J. Ellsbury is an absolute beast.
For me, in just 14 games, he has .326 BA, 9 HR, 16 RBI, that's averaging a HR every 4.778 AB...incredible.
-
Prospect Gavin Lux I’m still batting over .500 with him even after using him so much in events. Card is amazing.
-
For me it’s been the players league 85 Gavin lux, idk why but I’m batting 340 with him and hitting tons of fingers, and I don’t plan on taking him off 2nd anytime soon
-
Barry Larkin has been solid for me. And the (91) Cobb for a long time hit way above his rating.
-

Tommy La Stella... No joke. He's been crushing the ball for me
In earlier events and in BR, Tommy freaking La Stella has been a great card for me.
-
Dylan Carlson. Used him for over 500 AB online and he still is hitting over .320

No one has him, he's my best hitter (better than Mick)
-
Katel Marte smashes righties for me on hof was a surprise. To this day a bench bat and sometimes gets the call to platoon with multiple players. If he had any more speed or defense he'd still be a regular batting over .390 through 400+ at bats. I packed him day 1 and hes been the most consistent player since ever for me. Swinging the bat that is.
-
Hanley Ramirez. I prestiged with him a couple weeks ago and all he does is make hard contact. Also really like the 90 Gavin Lux (he crushes high heat), Kenny Lofton & Miggy.
