Who has been raking and/or dominating at the mound for you so far?
-
Right off the jump, Mike Yastrzemski (Live Series) has been an absolute hero for me and has caused me to forgo targeting any high-priced outfielders as he has been nigh on impossible to take out of my lineup. I'm currently trying to get the 42 Series of his card as I've had a ton of success with Ken Griffey Jr. (88) and a platoon of Eric Davis and Roberto Clemente in my other outfield spots.
The very same can be said for Tim Anderson's Live Series card which has been giving me excellent production out of the lead-off spot in my lineup. This was a big surprise to me and a pleasant one as I am a die-hard Chicago White Sox fan and have struggled with Anderson's cards in prior years. I've nearly unlocked the Team Affinity version, as it will be my first TA1 card I'm set to unlock of the season.
You may have thought "that's a stupid thread title" initially when you saw this, however, the reason why it is "and/or" instead of just "or" is because Chris Sale (Live Series) has not only dominated on the mound for me, but also has five hits in 7 at-bats so far. What is the world?
In the pen, I've been loving that Kenley Jansen (Rookie Series) card as his cutter has been its usual unhittable self and the card has three other solid pitches with a changeup, slider and a nifty two-seamer that is much better than the majority of two-seamers I've used in this game so far.
Those are my guys. I'd love to hear who you guys have been doing well with through the first week.

Trout.

Ronald Acuna, 42 Hank Aaron, Freddie Freeman, LS Pete Alonso, Braves Collection Andruw Jones (Clear Braves Fan here...LOL) Have been tearing the cover off of balls. Was real surprised with the Andruw Card cause I couldn't hit well with it when he was the first inning award last year.
-
I concur on that LS Yaz card! Been a nice surprise!
For me, now, it's been LS Breggie (hitter) and LS Verlander (pitcher). -
Acuna and Dee Gordon with the bat. Eckersley on the mound.
-
LS Buxton, 42 Griffey and 42 Ruth. The first one is the only real surprise. I picked him up for his cheesy speed but the guy has pop!

I went after those two cards, too. I haven't had a ton of success with Dee Gordon, so now I'm using him as a pinch-runner on my bench. But Eckersley has yet to give up a run for me to this point. I always love his cards every year though.
-
I'm loving the Jasson Dominguez prospect card, he's been a great leadoff guy for me. Switch hitter with good contact and power with elite speed. I've already had 4 triples with him in ranked seasons.
-
I’m really enjoying Trevor Story (play him at 2B), Rockies collection Todd Helton, and 42 Dansby Swanson. With parallels this year, story may be in the lineup for a while.

Yes, Yaz is pretty, pretty good, pretty good. Give that Hunter Bishop prospect card a shot too man. Agree with skinny Kenley too. Speaking of prospects I've been loving Daulton Jefferies and Shane Baz. Baz's fastball is nasty.
For me Javy Baez has been the most consistent hitter. I hope he goes diamond soon.
-
Ya'll are sleeping on the Michael Busch prospect card. He has been arguably my best hitter. Dude is a beast and good 2B are kinda sparse early on.
-
Max Muncy LS, 10 Homeruns he's been a monster.
Dee Gorden, got his card yesterday and he has been everything you guys have said and more.
Marcell Ozuna, already on tier 2. He's crushing the ball for me.Pitching it's been Pedro, my rotation is weak so far behind him though.
Going to work this weekend on getting the TA's going because of all the great things I'm hearing about those cards.
-
My better batters have been Canha... THE LIVE SERIES ONE :0 and Cavan Biggio. Luzardo have pitched great to

Ryan McMahon has bee crushing it
-
live series corey seager is batting like 600 for me in about 30-40 at bats also freddie freeman and TA grisham are popping off.
-
The catcher for the Dodgers has been tearing the cover off the ball for me. Pitching it would be 42 Sixto.
-
Topps Now Yeminator. Pretty much the only card I have that I feel comfortable swinging with right now... Ryan Pressley has been amazing as my Conquest Closer.
