I guess I’m just not new-school enough to use a power/speed guy like mantle or trout in the lead off spot. I like the traditional lead off profile guys — slap contact hitters who have lots of speed, can steal, and will set the table for the power guys. I’ve mainly used Carew, Jackie, and Gwynn this year. All are excellent. Also — I had more success with the 86 Prospect Madrigal than the 95 FS version.
Rickey was my dude for almost all of 19 but unfortunately he’s way too expensive this year. I just unlocked Brock a week or two ago and he’s been a great free alternative.
When we get 99s for Cobb and Honus I’ll probably rotate them Into the #1 role, too.

In the past month or so, I've changed my leadoff hitter quite a bit...
Ken Griffey Jr. (Post-Season) was doing real well for me but then I replaced him with Mickey Mantle after I unlocked the HRD Griffey Jr., Mantle was obviously excellent but then I unlocked Jimmy Rollins and put him there. Surprisingly, I didn't do that well with Rollins in the leadoff spot but I kept him in for quite some time.
Finally, I think I've found my end-game leadoff man, Luis Robert (Future Stars). He has the perfect amount of scariness in the batter's box and on the base-paths that I was looking for. I think I've finally found the perfect lineup combination...
[1] Luis Robert [RF]
[2] Mickey Mantle [LF]
[3] Jim Thome [1B]
[4] Gary Sheffield [3B]
[5] Robinson Cano [2B]
[6] Matt Wieters [C]
[7] Andre Dawson [CF]
[8] Jimmy Rollins [SS] -
My guy, Jacoby Ellsbury. Very excited to get him prestiged soon.
-
99 Larry Walker
99 Trout
Prestige Mantle
99 Ruth
99 Eddie Mathews
99 Hornsby
CAP (catcher)
99 Yount/Rollins (haven’t settle in this last spot) -
Biggio...in Sig teams I had Sheffield leading off for a while and was too lazy to change it lol
-
SS Lofton... ropes doubles and triples in the gap with ease
-
99 Biggio. Have tried 95 Henderson during HOF Babe monents because of his speed and might try 99 Roberts there.
