Is 99 Jackie still worth it?
-
I think you need it for Mookie, so I suppose. I kind of like AS Albies better though.
-
Yeah. I really liked Albies too tbh.
I stopped using him for a while though for some reason.
He was great for me but I never thought about getting Jackie till today because prices went down on the cards a bit since last time I checked em.
Just picked up Realmuto for Ohtani today and getting closer to getting him done as well.
Ohtani's hitting is main reason for me wanting him because stat wise its something special imo since hes a pitcher and I just love Ohtani in general as a player -
Yes, he’s got speed, pop and can play gold defense in multiple positions with diamond at second depending on parallels, at the very least he’s a great bench utility.. And for two cards at these prices, yes get him.
-
Jackie and Chipper have been my 2 best hitters by far
-
Thanks for the feedback fellas.
My buddy has him too and I gotta say whenever I've played Jackie I always thought the card looked great.
Chipper also is very good as well from what I've seen. -
Haven't found anybody who can replace him in my lineup yet. He's never moved from the leadoff spot since I got him. I love that card.
-
I might pick up a monitor soon to play and some Kontrol Freeks because I can tell if I had both I'd be a bit better.
I mean my hitting and discipline needs some work but not too much for my hitting. My pitching needs a good tune up however. -

I got him up to parallel V and thought about swapping him out and working on someone else but just can't bring myself to do it.
-
I'll run someone else at 2nd for a few days and he just goes right back!!!
-
Just paralleled 5’d him and he’s probably top 3 on my team. Still hitting over .430 with over 300 at bats mostly on HOF. Hits for a ton of power too. This card isn’t leaving my lineup

Just when you think you got him out of your system he pulls you back in.
-
I got him late, but he'll shock you at how good he is.
I had LS Lindor since day 1 and got him to P4 at second and had to get the Signature one. I have Chipper at SS, because Signature Longo is too good but has no secondary positions so is at 3B.
That meant I could use Jackie to PR, PH, or as a defensive replacement -

-
Absolutely worth it. He will either be in your lineup or on your bench all year. Even without the highest power numbers he crushes the ball

he doesn't really have pop for me. I have 400+ at bats with only 38 home runs. He is a great lead off guy though.
-
Tbh Silver Slugger DJ LeMahieu is my sleeper pick for 2B. I have as many home runs as I had with Jackie in less than 200 at bats.
-
If you’re a fan then yea
-
I don’t see Jackie ever leaving the leadoff spot
I play on HOF and above and I’ve managed to keep his average above .400
Just an amazing card
-
Diamond defense at parallel 4, diamond speed, insane contact and vision and very good pop, both sides of the plate. Still very much one of the best cards in the game.

Amen to this. Mookie is taking that spot now though. Card is insane
