Man, that missing Alomar card is killing you, isn’t it ( I have seen you reference it at least a dozen times). Don’t lose any sleep over it, you did freaking awesome for first year playing and you would never pay attention to that card if you had it.

Hahahaha, you're totally right. And I'm definitely not mad at SDS, just mad at myself for starting late haha. But you are right, I wouldn't use him anyway and considering how bad I was when I started, I definitely had a successful season. Thanks. You're one of the posters I followed a lot of advice from.

Use all the cards that people can't hit with and see what you can find. Willie Mays, Hank Aaron, Frank Thomas etc. I found out that I smash with the Big Hurt when most people don't. But don't try Barry Larkin, whatever you do, don't try Barry Larkin (hint hint)

Hahahaha, Larkin is my NL Central shortsop and leadoff hitter and as the saying goes....Larkin Rips.....I mean is terrible, thanks for the hint.
I like this idea. Frank Thomas is a perfect example of somebody I used for a while and then somebody else took his spot. I'm always using either Miggy or Fielder as my AL Central 1B. But Thomas and some of these other names are definitely worth considering.

You would reccomend the awards card over HRD correct? Or are they more pr less the same I've? I've been meaning to try one and since I asked, he'll get a spot.

I loved that 89 Gary Sanchez a lot. For some reason, I never really gave the 97 a chance. Probably because by then we had Adley, Yasmani, Piazza, Salvy HRD, Realmuto etc.

Thata probably why i forgot about it as well. Adley has been my catcher since his futures card came out.

Use all Commons and play on HOF or Legend
I just had a similar thought. I’m not playing on legend though.

Oreo’s advice is top notch! I can’t count the number of times he has helped me. I’m grateful to count him as a friend and a mentor.

Try Eddie Murray at 1st too. You won’t be disappointed. Luckily for me, I got Pujols just as Murray hit P5, so I stuck Albert there to work on him. Murray is a diamond fielder (although, I don’t remember if he was when I first began working on him) and a switch hitter.

So I think I wanna create a whole new roster of players that I haven't used much or at all and grind the US Map 1 more time. I have every card except Alomar. I have not used many of the cards released since TA5 started because I built my teams for that program and have used those pretty exclusively. Sooooo, who should I add? Basically looking for who your favorite players in the game are (specifically newer ones).
