I sold Cobb for 120K when I got him thinking he would drop in price. Hasn't yet. Hoping he does when they release the new player program this Fri.
If not, I may have to pay a premium to get him back.
I think he will only go up, because A) he's so good and people are starting to realize B) most people reached 300 stars now and they've made their picks and decisions to keep or sell and C) some people will lock him in for the next inning program so the availability will go down.
Yeah. I'm afraid that next inning they'll finally release Pujols or Griffey; which will make all 3 of the 8th Inning bosses rise.
I have about 440K now and another 200K that I can get from selling off some investments that may not pan out.
There isn't anyone I need for my team, other than Griffey and maybe that 99 Trout.
I wanted Awards Rickey, but when I used him in BR, I went like 0-12. Nit a big sample size; but enough to reconsider his price. Plus if I buy back Cobb, I can move Mantle to LF and put FOTF Brock on the bench.
But getting back to my stubs.

Do you think some of these players (8th Inning bosses, HRD player, and Prospect Pack) will come down a little when they release these Run It Back cards?
-
Should I just buy back Cobb now and use the rest to get what I need for Trout (would take all my stubs)
-
Or just buy all 3 8th Inning bosses and hope the 9th inning has some fire? (And would you start Awards Pudge over Sig Biggio?
Honestly if you want some fire, put your resources towards 99 Trout, If it were me he'd take priority over acquiring any other outfielder, just my 2 cents.

Mays and Honus are more likely to be 9th inning bosses. Pujols and Griffey were bosses last year and they haven’t repeated any in 8 innings

Hard to say. I would definitely buy Cobb back asap though if you plan on using him for sure. I picked Kershaw with my own 300 stars pick who I'll be keeping, but I don't care for Pudge and I don't think it's worth locking them in at this stage of the year.
If you haven't completed Extreme program, I would highly encourage to do that. It's not AS hard as it seems (challenging but not impossible), and they give you very good pack rewards that will make you stubs. I think all and all I made about 350K on the pack rewards only, rolled a few rare rounds.

I couldn't hit with Gehrig last year, but I'm weird because I've also never been able to hit with a Griffey card so.... to me Babe is better.
Cobb though was insane last year and started slow this year, but helped carry me to WS and is hitting great now, I'm not sure I would call him top 3, but there def is a case for him.
-
Since Cobb and his 99 speed 99 bunt got me through the god squad game that for some reason I randomly couldn't hit pearson I will have a special place on my squad for him. Just after seeing the cards from the new pack though if we get something like a Mays or Griffey out of it then I'll have some problems

Swings are always very personal. For example, if Mantle wasn't a switch hitter, I would have probably benched him because I don't think his swing is top tier.
-
Ty Cobb has quickly become my favorite card ... what a baller in the leadoff spot.
-
So safe to say Cobb > Walker?
-
@Hikes83 said in Bold takes:

At first I didn't think so, but I've turned around and now I do think Cobb holds more value overall. They're both really good but I benched Walker and put Cobb in LF and in the leadoff spot.

Well, I am almost thru Conquest to get Pearson and have two moments done...but those Yelich and Gehrig ones seem so daunting, having a hard time getting the excitement to do them a zillion times to get their this to Gehrig

Yeah those two moments with Yelich and Gehrig are tedious, but the rest is very manageable. I think it's worth completing the program for the packs alone, Gehrig is a nice bonus. I don't care too much Yelich and Pearson, but many people seem to love Yelich.

Pearson is awesome, his slider is one of the best pitches in the game.

Good to hear as I have heard some say he is easy to hit with out a sinker......but that’s a mantra around here so it could just be getting thrown out there....
-
No sinker or cutter, unusable! Lol he has a 94mph slider with great movement on top of the 102 fastball. If you can’t use him your bad at pitching.

Mantle is very weird for me. In both on-line and off-line, I'm hitting 100 points lower than my other "regulars" (Trout, Cobb, etc.). He just looks weird at the plate to me and it throws me off. Probably a mental thing.

You use him online?

Not sure I want to deal with the Extreme Program right now.
None of those players will make my team. I know there's packs you can obtain; but my pack luck has been horrible this year.
I would hate to go through the hassel (still can't complete the 7th and 8th inn Showdowns);to come away with junk pulls.
Plus I still need to complete 4-5 of the TN Moments to get progress towards Tatis and I haven't even started the Babe Program.

Yup, one ranked game so far but 8 innings, 4 hits, 7 k’s. First pitch I threw was the fastball and almost gave up a HR. Realized he was sitting on that so started using the slider all over the zone. Tons of weak grounders, it’s moving so fast that it’s hard to keep your pci on it. Mix in the heater and change to keep off balance, don’t use the curve.

I don't think Nate Pearson will be effective when you face an above average player. But if you're happy with him and he's doing the job, then there is no reason to pull him.
-
Looking forward to getting a few more runs with him but he’s been fun. The fastball/slider speeds are what peak Randy Johnson was throwing, I definitely think you’ll start seeing him more as people catch on.
