Who is currently the best SS in this game?
-
So Franco is still top notch at SS? I currently have Trae at SS and Soriano at 2B (I know many don't like Soriano but I hit really well with him) - I want to move Soriano back to LF to take advantage of that diamond fielding and speed, not as important at 2B. So I want to move Trae back to 2B and looking to get a SS. I have Tim Anderson but I think he's best suited as a bench speed/d/bat guy. So I'm looking at Franco. That power vs LH is kinda low to my liking but he must play above that.

Timmy, Trae or Xander

Franco is still a top option there. I have zero interest in Lindor. Contact too low for me on HOF even with the warping pitch speeds.
-
Another vote for Lindor. Franco is still great but I just like Frankie’s swing a bit more.

Awards Trevor Story/Tim Anderson/Wander

For sure, Wander is an awesome card still. Definitely worth mentioning as the top SS. I really want to try that Lindor card though. My gut feeling says Lindor is the best.

Lindor, and Trae. Lindy has been a machine for me. Trae plays a great 2b, and has been one of my best hitters

Who do ya got/start?
My Switch hitting ball player with 123 contact and 124 power
what his fielding at?
-
Turner's bat is hard to beat...but I am really liking this Lindor. I look for defensive improvements wherever I can find them and I LOVE switch hitters.
-
CAP is really good. Chipper is my guy there now so I can get Vlad at 3rd and Ortiz at 1st. If defense is not your priority he should be your guy. Lindor and Franco obviously better defensively but neither possess elite speed. Tim Anderson is a solid free option but Turner is better.. Love Turner, but to me he is more valuable on the bench. Gives my lineup more flexibility late in games. I'm not dropping a stub on a replacement at SS until we get a new Tatis.
-
I haven’t been able to take Awards Story out of the spot all year long. The swing, the amazing defense.
Lindor I’d love to try though.
-
I have Wander Franco at SS, Trea Turner on Bench. Tried Trevor Story but can´t hit with him, have something like a .118 AVG.
-
Man I've been using that free Tim Anderson card and it's surprisingly good. I think most people would say Lindor,Wander,Or silver slugger Trevor Story. To be honest though Ive used all of them and Tim might be the best one. He's that good.

Barry Larkin

Paralleled LS Tatis is still nails. But I have been using Wander. I will grab Lindor and Ozzie when they drop in price

Yeah I have Tatis at P4 and on my bench now. Good bench bat.
-
I rock P4 Glaus at SS. He actually plays great defense with his gold shield and is a lefty destroyer.
-
In my honest opinion:
- Trevor Story (96 OVR / Awards)
- Wander Franco (99 OVR / Future Stars)
- Tim Anderson (99 OVR / Topps Now)
- Trea Turner (98 OVR / 2021 All-Star)
- Fernando Tatis Jr. (95 OVR / Live Series)
I haven't used the Signature Series Francisco Lindor to this point, so I can't comment on where he belongs since at this point of the game, it's all about the feel of the card and how it plays. Some lesser known cards that I liked a bit in a smaller sample size were Ronny Mauricio (Future Stars / TA2), Jimmy Rollins (Veteran), Niko Goodrum (The 42), Brad Miller (Topps Now), Dansby Swanson (Topps Now) and Barry Larkin (All-Star).

I start my CAP. But I also have used Chipper and had success. I hav never used Trea at Short but he is a short stop and is extremely good.
