Centerfield Dilemma
-
So currently my outfield is Sig Walker in Left, Awards Vlad in Center & HRD Judge in right. Judge would be the one to go and move Vlad to right I’m just not really sold on any center fielders. I could use Lofton cause he would add a lefty bat for me & make a good lead off hitter.
Any other suggestions? I’m not really into having future stars, I just really enjoy playing with legends but I’ll do whatever’s best for my team. Also have about 80k to spend.
I’m also not remotely close to completing Trout or Mantle collections so they’re off the table.
-
Eric Davis is very good just got mantle today so he’ll be good but for now moved Davis to right. Davis is great hitter and fielder
-
Monthly award Bellinger?

I completely forgot about him. I’ll get back to completing that program!
-
Andre Dawson is really good. He was my centerfielder for a while until I unlocked Mantle today. Great swing, speed, and defense.

Vlad defense isnt great but he has a great arm. He should be in his primary position of RF. He isn't fast enough or have enough defense or reaction to be good in CF. Lofton is fast and has good defense but his arm is bad. Get Bellinger for LF. I didnt like davis or dawson.
-
future stars Luis Robert is really good and also a really fun card to use. can do everything you would want a centerfielder to do
-
Kenny Lofton crushes the ball
-
I currently use Christian Pache. Hes Luis Robert, but cheaper. Ive had success with him. Occasionally Ellsbury too trying to prestige him. Platoon them both.
-
I have Walker in RF, Ellsbury in LF, and just finished Mantle this weekend so he is in CF. I will say LF and CF nothing gets down unless it is a bloop single. I have had issues with walker for some reason as his reaction is high but when a ball is hit to RF he doesn't move as soon as you can control him. I haven't been able to get his swing down either so he might move to the bench when ever I get Trout. If you are close to Shef you could put him in LF cause his fielding isn't great but has a good arm

Yeah I think I’m considering selling or putting Judge on the bench, getting Lofton for Center then moving Vlad to right since he has a great arm. Judge’s pci is just too small for my liking on HOF.

Lofton is a fantastic budget option. Davis isn't too expensive either. Bellinger lightning card. Super budget is the Players League Ian Happ. McCutchen mashes the ball and is reasonably priced as well.
-
Ellsbury

Looooove that McCutchen card
-
Ellsbury, McCutchen, Lofton, Davis (I use him), and Dawson are all guys worth consideration. Get Vlad out of CF he should be in the corners.
-
98 Lofton, 99 Dawson are both great. Dont let Loftons low power numbers fool you. While he's not going to hit HRs like Trout, Mantle, Walker, etc he will hit one once in a while.
-
Lofton is a lot of fun to use. I'm actually kind of dissapointed he's out since I got Trout but there's no room for him in a Trout/Mantle/Walker OF. He can hit, has sneaky pop, bunt plays and oh yeah, he's fast. Gwynn is another really solid, but slightly slower option, but still decent enough speed. There's 99 Robert too.. I wouldn't be shocked if more Beach packs come out at some point. He's super solid, but again, I have no place to put him. Outside of 99 Mays or possibly 99 Cobb I can't see breaking up the band.
-
Went with Lofton & moved Vlad to right. Will pursue POTM Beli if I’m unhappy with Lofton but I like what I see so far. Thanks for all the input everyone!
-
Lofton seems like a big time favorite on here. I will have to give him a chance in center.
-
Talking cheap; Ellsbury. Eric Davis is really good, if you want to buy him, or complete TA and get all the extras ( Lodelo is on the way to get Davis anyway).
