Cobb or Mookie?

Mookie is infinitely cooler, imo. Cobb can’t even hold his bat properly and looks like a skinny street kid from a period piece.

The real Cobb, maybe. The game version of him, not me.

Mookies got a better swing and has a ton more pop than Cobb. And the fact you can put him at second and still have trout/mantle/Griffey/walker in the outfield just helps him that much more

I don't understand this love for Cobb. He's a good card don't get me wrong. Perhaps great. But with options like Trout, Mantle, Walker, Griffey, Ted, Soto and Bellinger Cobb just doesn't make squads.
That being said, Cobb is balanced vs left and right handers and the better choice over Betts, but honestly neither of them should be on your team unless you REALLY have an affinity for one of them.
He’s one of the easiest cards in the game to hit with, and his power plays WELL over what his attributes show. Throw in the fact he is a very solid fielder with an arm more than good enough for left and obviously the speed...he’s without a doubt a top 3 card in the game
-
No way. Top three card in the game? No way.
I’d say the fact that so many people bunt cheese with him disqualifies him instantly. Even otherwise, just no.
-
What does people bunt cheesing with him have to do with anything?? That’s like saying “Trout is an automatic home run every game, it’s not fair. Disqualified”
-
Well, if you don’t see it that way, I don’t see much point in arguing.
This is not MLB the bunt. I’m sure Cobb can be a great addition to any team if used in a non-exploitative way.
IMO, bunt single steal second steal third score on passed ball or sac fly is pretty exploitative.
I don’t think a card that encourages that should make any top five list, but feel free to play however you like.

I personally have never played a single person who used Cobb in the way you just described, and I’m over 400 games deep in RS. But, basically what you’re saying is any card with let’s say 95+ speed has an asterisk just cause there are no talent dweebs out their using it to their advantage. Got it

I don’t understand why you are being adversarial. The thread is about Cobb vs Mookie. I said what I think.
Lots of people use Cobb exactly as I described. Granted, I am talking below 600, but I’m not making it up.
Here’s the part of the post where I take knock at you sarcastically for emphasis. Got it?
