It's going to be tough to find a CF good enough to replace him. Excellent D, Excellent speed, and a good enough bat. He's Lite-switch-hitting-Cobb with an arm and I'm here for it.
-
If we get POTM lightning Buxton, then you can replace him.

Oooooh, Billy with power. I'll be in for that as well.

Lofton is better

No, he's really not. Lofton is great, but he's got a pretty weak arm.

He's tons better in contact vs. R which is what you mostly face, tons better in Disc, tons better clutch, better fielder and better reaction both of which you need more then how often the arm will matter.
-
Tons is going a bit off the deep end. I could turn around and say Hamilton has "tons" more power...but I'd be lying. The difference in fielding and reaction is negligible, so the arm absolutely matters.
I don't care about discipline...if I'm check swinging, then that's on me...I don't need an imaginary stat to decide which bad pitches I chase are balls and which are strikes...I'll take the L when I chase a pitch.
Instead of relying so much on clutch, why don't I just hit better in clutch situations? It's always been my strategy before. I'll stick with that.
-
Check swing is of course on you but your ability to do it well is affected by each hitter's rating.
Same with clutch, it's on you batting but his ability to make better contact in clutch situations is affected by his clutch rating making it easier for you to get a hit in the clutch
And vision which Lofton is also better, affects your ability to make contact rather then missing or better contact over minimal contact as the case may be.
Check swing could affect multiple at bats a game.
Clutch is going apply most every game, sometimes multiple times in a game.
Vision affects pretty much every at bat.His arm will matter seldom, pretty much only when a runner is trying to score from second or tagging up on third on a fly ball, either of which happens what? Once every 20-30 games? 40 games?

So, you like Kenny Lofton because of things that are completely within your control, great! Good for you.
Like I already said, I'll just aim to not swing at bad pitches, and make good contact, making your point, once again, moot.
And Hamilton has been on my roster for 44 games and has 8 OF assists, so your assumption that an opportunity happens once every 20-40 games (way to hedge your bets by being very non-specific) is extremely incorrect.
You...are...wrong. End of discussion.

Acuna, Trout, and Finley. Lucky enough to have all 3. Already have Acuna Superfractor.
-
I’ve only played 3 RS games with Billy but he has 2 HR 6 SB, 8 Runs scored
-
Got both billy and lofton. Billy’s batting lead off and loftons a pinch runner

I earned both as well. Fun options to have early on for sure. I have lofton LF, Griffey purple CF, Hamilton RF.
Doing some early grinding before jumping into RS, and with server issues abound seems like a good decision for my sanity.

I’ve never played well with Acuna. Not sure why...but he’s obviously very good. Trout is awesome, but that’s a hefty price tag without a lot of luck. And Finley is always an undervalued card. Always very fast with a great bat and good D.
Hamilton is the type of player I like for my CF. Lightning speed, good D, and a good enough bat.
-
Lofton stays in CF until or if i ever get my hands on Rickey Henderson

Lofton is infinite times better.

He is my conquest bench bat incase it goes four....replace, steal, score and hold the lead

I had a feeling you wouldn't understand what I was saying LOL.
You don't understand what visions, discipline and clutch are, or what they do, or how much they matter no matter how great you try or plan to be hitting. But neither do most that play MLBLike something else just said "Lofton is infinite times better."
And the 5 likes on my comments on Lofton being better.You don't get it, many don't, most do get it, end of discussion.
