What makes him a 94 if he’s batting 280 ? Freeman is like 220 and he got a bump like wth
Both of those guys expected batting average is way higher than their actual batting averages do to how hard hit there balls in play are. Acuna leads the NL in average exit velo at like 95+ mph. Also Acuna has an elite eye to this point in the season. He doesn’t swing at many balls out of the strike zone. If he continues on the same trajectory he will be batting over 300 by seasons end with MVP numbers in both offensive and defensive metrics. So yeah his 94 is not without reason.

For me it is alot easier to get power from dudes in the outfield than it is from ss.
Once I got ernie on roids, he has been a monster. -

Is he worth it ? My current 2nd baseman is 88 fletcher lol
Ernie is a shortstop. He’s also definitely worth it.

Yeah i was wondering about his 2nd baseman comment. I just left it alone. I think op wants ernie, and wants us to tell him it's ok.
Get ernie bro, you will be happy once he is juicing. -

Going for collections so idk if I should get Acuna out of the way. He’s batting 280 so idk if he’s even worth being a 94. Should I get Ernie banks how does he play ?
Just to warn you .... Banks sukc hard defensively he have the stats but I think trea Turner have better D stats then him for me.... but vs LH pitcher he's good at the plate !
-
I hit better with Acuna. I've always thought Ernie Banks had a terrible swing for the game, like Ripken. But there's also way more good OFs than IFs.

I like ernies swing but I am old school, I like the short compact swings like Gwynn, Puckett, and Boggs. So ernie fits right in.

Yeah I just think their swings are made for line drives which makes it harder/unnatural to hit homers.

Yes, when they go yard it is a bullet over the fence ...it is not going upper deck ever.

Better buy the big diamonds before the stub sale next week.
Buy Acuna and don't lock him in. Then sell him when the stub sale hits and he jumps up another 50-60K. Then buy the NL Central after the sale ends.

Yes, maybe I'm ok with that let me rephrase ... He's not doing well for me and yes he's good but he drops a lot of grounder in key moments for me maybe it's just bad luck but I still not trust him in D ...

Ernie hits .300 with me and im a .400 player. So go figure. He is a beast.

I've had trouble hitting with Banks, but Acuna rakes for me. Of course small sample size on Banks, I have a feeling his swing takes some getting used to. I'm getting Tatis today to finish up the Padres which just leaves me with the Dodgers and then I get Soriano. Going with Tatis at 2b and Banks at SS. *Banks can only play SS. The only knock on Banks is his speed. Speed on the bases is huge and im not just talking about SB.

If you plan on doing LS than I would get Acuna first and get him out of the way.

That’s weird. Dude’s been amazing for me. He’s got sick range, and makes some amazing diving stops.

If you don’t have trout keep saving for him. Trea Turner>>>>Ernie Banks and it’s not really close. Acuna is alright. I’m giving him a run in my squad and he hits the ball solid a lot at least.

90+ overall cards will continue to increase in price as the year goes on, while 89- generally trend down, so if you want to complete the live series collection, you should make a line straight for 90+ cards to do it as cheaply as possible. That said, it may not save much for the extra time in waiting if you get Ernie first. He’s an end game SS that you can get a jump on paralleling, and will probably fill a whole few can replace at that position. I personally got Acuna first and am loving it.
