Daily player debate: Top 3 Bosses, Bottom 3
-
Trout for me. I've been middling with Mays/Mantle and I absolutely can't get it going with Griffey, for some reason. Never had an issue in the past with him, but can't get it going this year.
Interestingly, a lot of the cards with the best attributes (Mays, Mantle, Griffey, Ruth, Gehrig) I haven't been able to hit very well with online (won't say offline). I dont know what it is. Singles and such if I do get hits.
-
For me its Trout, Mays, Griffey, Mantle In that order. I've always raked with Mays while the majority of the community has not though
And to answer the first 2 days, Kaline is Meh and Woodruff. Burnes and Jake Arrieta are in close competition for most overrated cards in the game

I'll name a player or two every day (or few days if there's actually a good discussion going on) and you rate them or compare them however you see fit.
Day 1: Al Kaline - great or not great?
Day 2: Best 99 Brewers Starter : Brandon Woodruff (Finest), Corbin Burnes (Finest), Freddy Peralta (ASG)
Day 3: Who is the better center fielder? Griffey, Mays, Mantle or Trout? Or someone else?
No.
Burnes.
Trout.

Hahahaha, you don't like any of them? Oh man. Well, Woodruff and Peralta have been lights out for me but I also play offline mostly.
Good call with Duke Snider. He's very underrated but a killer lefty.
And yes, I also think Kaline is Great. I know there are so many amazing options in the OF, but Kaline is a hitting machine and if he just had more speed he'd be in the same category as Mantle, Mays etc.

I play mostly offline but I have not used those pitchers unless it is from daily mission xp, I take Fernando, Hershiser, Kershaw and Buehler over Woodruff, Peralta or Burnes.

New topic: Top 3 catchers in the game. As always, feel free to chime in on the first few topics as well.

Day 4: Who are the top 3 catchers in the game for you?
-
Jimmy Foxx, Kyle Schwarber, and in a far 3rd place Adley.
-
This is a hard one because speed can really hamper some of the best catchers.
Yasmani Grandal is an amazing offensive force but his 0 speed is pretty unfortunate.My top 3 (I have not yet used Finest Salvy, do this will undoubtedly change):
- Adley Rutchman- FS 99
- Mike Piazza-Signature 99
- JT Realmuto- ASG 99
Pudge is also quite good and Posey and Grandal mash but the speed is painful.
-
Foxx, Piazza, Schwarber

Day 4: Who are the top 3 catchers in the game for you?
Since the responses will likely be similar, I’ll answer with the best bang for your buck (BR style):
1: 84 Keibert Ruiz
2. 84 Yermin Mercedes
3. 80 Jason Castro -
- Austin Nola
- Kade Scivique
- Jake Fraley out of position
-
Lol. I still love Posada. Using him in the Finest event. Every single one of my 172 entries.
And I still have a special place in my heart for 84 TN Yermin...
-
- Jimmie Foxx 2) Piazza 3) Rutchman
-
Day 4: 1) Sig. Gary Carter 2) Foxx 3) Keizer Ruiz
This is the 1st year I’ve used Carter and he pleasantly surprised me, mashes, is clutch in late innings. In contrast I got him and Sig. Ivan Rodrigues around the same time and it was night and day, the difference in hitting. Carter over Pudge.
Day 3) Mays - I can’t take him out, his 99 speed and 99 defence, arm etc… and of course his bat!
-
Rutschman, Schwarber and Posada
-
Schwarber is one of those that was a W for almost everyone but I could never really get it going with him. But what a valuable card with C as a secondary and he has an awesome swing.
I always forget about Posada but his card is sneaky good too. And I love that someone gave Gary Carter some love.

I'm interested in this overrated comment. I am not at all contending it, just curious why you think it. I know overrated doesn't necessarily mean bad, just not reaching the lofty bar people set for them. Again, I have yet to use Burnes Finest, will probably break him out this weekend.

Everyone, and I mean everyone, talks about how good Arrieta is. Like I've heard a lot of people say he's up there with Verlander, Degrom, Ryan, etc. He is just okay at best on any difficulty but legend online. As for Burnes, he isn't as highly acclaimed, but he is always the first finest starter recommended when I think he is closer to middle of the pack
-
Ruiz, Posada, 3) Salvy i guess but I don't hit good with him so I don't really have a 3
