Just scooped up Hornsby
-
He is good, not amazing. He is one of those cards than some people crush with and others do just ok and could possibly find a better option. Try him out and see how you do with him. He has a ton of potential at the plate, though, and his defense is passable.
Ive done well with him but am always trying other guys because i think i could do better.....
-
I started off really slow with him but now I’m hitting .478 slugging over 900 dude just hits bombs or nothing pretty much
-
Just got him last night in the flash sale Beach Ball pack, so far he's been everything i could ask for, he even pushed HRD Cano to my bench and HRD Cano has been a force for me.
-
I have him on my bench. He played SS for me a lot of last year before Honus moved him to 3rd. Biggio is just too good to be replaced by anyone this year. CAP at C.
-
Altuve Awards has been a best for me... Biggio sig is not bad too. It depends on preference I guess. Besides being a rare pull not sure why cards go for the amounts they do...there are so many similar ones at fraction of the price.

He destroys baseballs

Got him first day he dropped out of a pack. Have had him hitting 4-6th since and he's still over a .400 BA. He's not great defensively but his bat more than makes up for it. Very quick, fluid swing.
-
How does he do at 3rd? Cano is not leaving my lineup
-
He absolutely rakes. Have fun.

Best 2B hitting wise outside of a CAP. He won’t leave my lineup, he gets consistently good exit velos when you square up. Highly recommend him.
I thought he was the most valuable of the LS collection rewards last year and he’s a beast again this year
Best second basemen might be a stretch. That is a position that really helps to have a diamond defender. IMHO he is second behind prestige Sandberg. Both have similar offensive attributes but what separates them is that diamond defense. But that’s just my opinion.

Very very good. Could be end game 2bd base unless prestige Sandberg shocks the [censored] out of me in the Prestige XP level.

I use Cano at 2nd and Hornsby at 3rd. His defense is below average for sure. He is not getting to any hard hit balls down the line. He makes routine plays and his bat is good.

I've been thinking about selling him tbh. His hitting attributes are amazing and he has decent speed, too. Unfortunately, his swing has just been OK for me. I personally rake more with 99 Jackie at second, and Brett/Schmidt at third. Babe occupies first so there's no room for him on my squad besides the bench. I tend to try batters out for 100 at bats, and then I look at slugging, etc to determine if they stay on my team. For me, he has been just ok slugging around .500. (Nolan Gorman, Brett, Schmidt, and Jackie all slug .750+ for me).
So my recommendation is to try him out for 100 AB and see if you like him. There are so many good players out there that it's really about finding the player's swing that hits the best for you.
