Long list of best cards at each position

I'm unlocking Brock this evening when I get home and can't wait only question is where to play him because I have Trout in Left, Mantle in Center and Walker in Right.

Pinch runner and pinch hitter

Love this list- one adjustment id recommend is move Madrigal down a bit; only because I haven’t seen him used in months, whereas the next couple guys have had many glowing reviews in last few weeks: again love this and just want to help make it as accurate to what I see out there as possible
Makes since. I love his swing but there are better guys like Biggio, Jackie, Cano, and others behind him

Ok follow up question then, over who. My bench is
Biggio
Sheffield
Jackson
Blackmon
Griffey -

GriffeyI'd replace Blackmon in favor of Brock in your case. Brock's speed alone on the base paths and in LF makes this sort of a no-brainer.

If you think that's a no-brainer then you have clearly never hit with 96 Charlie blackmon.

Sure. He hits, but so does Brock (sneaky power too). Depends on what each person values. I value defense and speed way more in the outfield. Blackmon lacks that.
Blackmon lacks the arm strength, reaction and speed. That's not debatable. Not saying it's a bad card by any means. .

yes I will agree brock is a better fielder but the question we were answering was for a bench player. A pinch hitter. He was not asking for a starting left fielder he was asking about a bench player. he already has trout, mantle and Walker in the outfield. Brock or blackmon are not replacing any of those guys. If you have two outs in the bottom of the 9th and I had to pick between Brock or Blackmon at the plate with bases loaded I would pick Blackmon.

That's flat out moot, all due respect. No way you bring in Blackmon over Biggio and Sheff anyway in a pinch hit situation with it all on the line.
If I have someone in scoring position with bases loaded, I plug in Brock as a pinch runner in a cocaine heartbeat with his phenomenal 99's in speed, stealing and base running aggressiveness.
There are attributes besides contact and power that matter this year. Speed and defense this year matter. You can't always hit bombs and deep gappers.

Its because every card plays differently for everyone so all opinions are valid and worth talking about.

That is a very good point. There are plenty of guys that are amazing for some and then suck for others

I've got carlson at left, Sheffield at 3rd brujan at short, and sandberg at 2and. Should I sell carlson to get Rollins? And move brujan to second and Sandberg to third and sheffeild to right? (Moving trout to left).

Depends if you mind a small strike zone. Rollins has a small strike zone I don’t like. Carlson also has more power. It’s personal preference for this decision

I'm not sure. I do like Carlson's swing and defence though. In reality I should just grind to get Rollins for free. But not sure I have the time.

depending on where you are at in inning stars, do the conquest map and showdown and you are a third the way there

Lolling at Posey's 60 power as 1 catcher, didi being "best" shortstop and chipper rated over Donaldson who's objectively better at everything
Couldn't even finish the list

I wholeheartedly disagree with all due respect. If there is a righty on the mound I'm definitely putting in Blackmon over Biggio or Sheffield no matter how well you hit with those cards. Secondly, baserunning aggressiveness has nothing to do with user input. That is for offline CPU play. That attribute means absolutely nothing when playing a human opponent. Lastly, I'm going to put someone on my bench who rakes as opposed to someone that is fast. if you don't think power and contact mean more this year than speed then you must not be playing much online.

Where did I say that speed and defense means more than power and contact online? I clearly didn't say that. Since you asked, I play both online and offline. You seem upset.
Remember, we're talking about a bench player in this case. Not a starter. Seems you like to make blind assumptions.

Well because you said you can't always hit deep gappers and bombs. You then said that speed and defense matter this year. If we only have room for one player on our bench then it is obvious you go for power and contact over speed and defense especially if it is a bench bat. Defense does not play a role when your outfield is already trout, mantle and Walker. Also, blackmon has 72 speed which is pretty good for a slugger. I could def tell you play mostly offline.
