I also just recently got Christian Pache's Future stars card and I'm loving it.
O and how could i forget Trevor Story's Silver slugger award card he rakes and has 90+ speed.
How dare you.

Cobb, Walker, Robinson, Story, Tatis, Biggio, Mantle, Trout, Brock, Ellsbury, Turner, lots of good cards to choose from.
-
Jazz Chisholm and Vidal Brujan are also nice options.

Those were the hardest guys to take out of my lineup. Brujan still sits on the bench as a pinch running option.

This thread just makes me want to go build and play a speedy, high contact, base hitting machine team.

Luis Robert 99 overall future star, Ty Cobb 99 overall prime, and Rickey Henderson 99 overall awards....if you haven’t made your CAP, make one and go contact focus as you get 99 speed and 99 stealing

When you say hitting, are you looking for power or cards that just hit well in general? I'll break it down by position I guess. I value speed and think anything above 70 is usually fast enough.
C - Your only options thus far are Biggio (secondary) and Pudge. Everyone else is sub 50 speed (unless you have a CAP). Speed usually isn't the main attribute people want at C.
1st - POTM Bellinger and Jackie Robinson (secondary) Although Babe has 60 speed, which isn't too bad and well above avg for 1st base.
2nd. Jackie, POTM Didi (secondary), Biggio
3rd. Sheffield (secondary) has 71 and a big bat. Trea Turner might be able to play 3rd. I can't remember.
SS - Tatis. /discussion
The outfield is pretty stacked, but Mantle, Trout, Gwynn, Eric Davis, Larry Walker, Jacoby, Lou Brock and Ty Cobb are all popular picks.

Basically, you want to play the current event.

For SS, Jimmy Rollins is not to be ignored. Less power than Tatis, but switch hitter. Hard for me to decide which. Playing em both to see who I prefer.

Short Stop - Jimmy Rollins
2nd base - Fernando Tatis Jr

Center field - Mickey Mantle
Right field - Eric Davis

A little bit of both I suppose. Probably more on the "hit well in general" side.

Most viable speed cards I'm seeing in this thread exceed the super low power threshold in the Dead Ball I event. Most "good" speed cards have closer to 70-75 power. I absolutely have not had fun with the current in-game event, although that might be partially because it also has a 90 ovr requirement.
