Better options at 3RD Base
-
I have Schmidt at third and he hits Hr but strikes out just as much,no in between and he is only average at fielding.Who are you guys rolling with and why?
-
Donaldson HL buy off market
-
Small sample size but POTM Justin Turner has hit pretty well for me. He's just not a stud on defense but hasn't booted anything yet. I think ultimately I'll put Jackie there once I finish the mind numbing grind to get him.
-
I've got 42 Hayes, he's got great defense, a decent bat, and solid speed for a corner infielder. He won't be my 3B once someone I like better comes along, but he's been solid.
-
McMahon because I just can't take him out of my lineup

Donaldson has been one of the top producing players on my team thus far. His good defense is a bonus on top of his nice swing and makes good contact more often than not. I was bummed I couldn't use his high diamond card last year, so I bought this card as soon as it came out.

I do not have his HL yet but I will use his Gold card over the diamonds I have, Last night I used Minoso at third for the first time so he is my new 3B for now.

He was my 3rd basemen until I got Chipper this morning. He was one of my favorites of the 42 TA cards.
-
I was using my CAP at 3rd for awhile until I got Chipper, he has toggled between catcher and RP since. Adames has a cannon for an arm and plays above his stats on offense, if you can deal with the low vision Tatis is solid.
-
Chipper is my guy at 3rd. I have to put him at short stop at times but dont like doing it. too many balls get up the middle
-
I play Vladdy Jr. or Ryan McMahon at 3rd... their bats are good enough to overcome their defense

Headliner.
The 90 Donaldson card was the first headliner pack diamond on launch day.
Anyway, I'm using 42 Gallo card at 3B. I don't do well with him really but I really lack a better option and I haven't bothered to take him out yet (mainly because I need 42 card TBs for inning mission) and I've benched Ruth temporarily in favor of Vlad Jr.
Tempted to try FS Riley there but really just waiting to give that BO Sheffield a shot in a few days when we get there in the daily program. Or if I can find a better 2nd baseman I'd move McMahon back to 3rd.
-
I use Vlad Jr POTM at 3rd. Dude is a beast.
-
Eddie Mathews just popped up.
-
Donaldson POTM and McMahon are great options free of cost.
-
Still using McMahon or I use Raffy Devers when he has a good inside edge day. He plays better against lefties than his numbers show
-
McMahon is probably the best hitting 3B for most people. Once I got him to Parallel 5 I took him out to level up other guys. Been using Jose Ramirez there lately who has a great bat too. I've tried using Gallo in different spots but he has probably the most underwhelming bat of any hyped up player I've tried, atleast for me. I hit more HRs with guys with less power and higher vision/contact. Also the MA Justin Turner is a good hitter with decent defense but is slower than most. Donaldson is good too, even the live series with IE bonus if you can't afford the better one.

I'd rather use a common over Schmidt lol. So yeah. Anyone.

Schmidt. i know his swing and he rakes for me. the only one he gets replaced for is a better Schmidt.
