Is MVP Trout a top 5 OF option?
-
Trout mantle and walker or Cobb for me
-
He is not top five, he’s at the top
-
Trout is the best card in the game, it’s not even close.
-
Trout is top 3 for sure. Me personally, I hit better with Awards Blackmon than anyone. Haven’t used Ted yet. But Chuck is not as good in the field.
-
Top 5 outfielders at this point are probably
Trout
Mantle
Ted Williams
Cobb/Edmonds
Walker -
There aren't many cards that just seem to be universally feared in this year's game, but I'd say the 99 Trout is definitely one of them.
IMO, it's between the 99 Trout, Mickey Mantle, and FOTF Jim Thome for the best overall hitter in the game.
-
I use Ted in LF, Trout in CF, and Mantle in RF. I am not doing great with Mantle and have had more success with Harper, Yelich and Edmonds so I rotate in and out at RF but TED and TROUT dont move
-
Thanks for the info everyone, really glad I got Trout. The stubs were close, but luckily it worked out. This takes the sting of BR Chipper off a bit.
-
I am a below average hitter and I prestiged him quickly with 54 homers and a .320 average.

J-Ram and Mondesi should finish up taking away the sting completely.

I can’t see paying 400k for Ted when Edmonds is free and overall Probly a better card.

Yes. I don’t really like modern players in my end game team, nor old timers, as I’m sure everyone is sick of hearing me say by now. I also can never hit with Trout usually. His LS, His immortal in ‘18, his SS card last year - All really bad stats with. This years 99 Trout? Awesome. Tears the cover off the ball for me and has a fast swing, defense is good etc.
I only kept him around to finish his prestige program for the packs and something to do, but I can’t lie, I am definitely going to miss him when 99 Griffey drops. He’s been surprisingly good this year.
-
Trout and mantle are the top 2. There’s argument over whether #3 should be walker or Cobb. I’m using 99 Yelich as my 3rd OF and I’m happy with results. Full disclosure, I’m waiting for Griffey
to be my 3rd OF -

First, CONGRATS on getting the MVP Trout! I was able to get him too, and like you, I didn't think I'd be able to do it. He's the best card in the game, IMO. My outfield is Trout, Mantle, and Walker. I also have Cobb. There are a TON of amazing outfielders in the game right now and Trout remains at the top for me.
-
I can't believe this is a real question. Get that man in your lineup!

There is a 0% chance Edmonds is a better card than Ted Williams. That Ted card might be the best card in the game aside from Trout

He is the best card in the game, so yes.
In your opinion , what makes him the best card in the game ?

Most importantly his swing, he can hit to all parts of the field. His elite numbers against righties (reverse splits), which are the most important attributes in the game because you will face righties most of the time, and even when you face a lefty he still has elite power and good enough contact. And then the fact that he is a diamond outfielder with 90+ speed and a good arm. I would take Trout over Mantle or any other player currently in the game without hesitation.

Mantle and Trout are better than all the rest in the outfield.
Cobb and Walker are really good too.
