Who is the Dude You Can't Get Rid-of?
-
Thought this would an interesting topic and conversation starter: Who is the guy(s) on your team that you just can't pull out of the 25-man roster?
I am not talking about 90+ rated players, obviously those guys are phenomenal. I am talking about low diamond, gold, and silver cards.
For me, I have two:
-
Yelich - the dudes swing is so smooth, hits L and R very well and can run/steal bases. He doesn't start for me but that's because I have: Acuna Jr, Lofton, and Bruxtons April rewards.
-
For now: Yermin Mercedes as my bench catcher -- the dude rakes.
Let's here from you, who ya'got?
-
-
Dee Gordon
-
Shohei for lyfe
-
Mookie Betts
-
Bit of a left field on here
AS Jason Kendal
I hit well with that card and he just is a great lead off hitter as well can be a tough out in the 8 or 9 hole
-
For me it's Keibert Ruiz. Hits better than a lot of the top players I have on my Roster.

Mookie Betts
Mookie was at 2b for me, hard to bench him but I needed to add S or L hitter to my lineup.
-
Goodrum 42 card. Just does work with great defense.
-
LS Trevor Story. Man is hitting .408 with 40 bombs and 90 hits he's an absolute machine
-
I’m with you on Yermin. In fact, he’s my starting catcher and rakes for me.
Another guy I would say is Live Series Shohei Ohtani. Went as far as getting rid of guys like Corbin Burns and Lance Lynn when I came up on Diamond pitching. His bat is just tremendous for a HITTER, let alone a pitcher.
-
Lofton for me. I dont love his arm but his speed gets him in position to make the play. Over 150 at bats and he is hitting .300 with zero homers.

I wish I raked with Story like that. I barely cracked .250 no homers. I’ve moved on to 42 Series Xander Bogaerts.

i'm just praying he doesn't go gold that would be horrible

SDS is really hitting on his lack of power this year. You might be better off selling while you can. But then again his value, for you, is hitting. What’s your Parallel XP level with him?
-
BO Justin Upton
Only 73 contact/56 power batting against righties but still hitting homeruns from that side. Forget about lefty pitchers: 117 contact/113 power. Can't go wrong keeping him on your bench vs lefty's. -
My whole team ahahaha

did the rockies collection day 1, pulled Tatis sold him for 90k bought story and did the rockies, got todd helton then just started building around them so I literally can't do anything with him. and he's still my clean up hitter and my team is pretty good for a budget squad

Interesting, I'll need to look up my stats for him.
I know I am well over .300 probably .340s, and I have 4 HR with one being an in-the-park. Between him, Acuna and Buxton, my OF is very well covered.

Mookie Betts
Same, Betts hits everything hard
