Vlad Jr
-
He was my last big purchase to finish the LS. His price dropped on Wednesday so I bought. RIP. I had some investments that payed off.today but I lost almost 100k buying Vlad two days ago so all that prep for nothing.
-
Good, I'll get to complete the AL East soon.
-
Hope his price drops like a lead balloon
Once I buy him I’ll have Frank and the AL done
-
A lot give it a day or 2 might be at the 40-50k range .

I always save to buy Trout asap, got lucky and pulled Ohtani so the AL came first this year
Still need DeGrom, Acuna and Tatis so a ways to go for the NL
-
that will help me out, I have Vlad Jr, Trout and Ohtani left to get
-
I guess .286 is bad lol they must think it’s 3 point percentage.

My first 90+ diamond that I bought was Trea Turner. My second 90+ diamond that I bought was Vlad Jr. I clearly know what I'm doing...
I bought sold Tatis to finish all of the Dodgers and get Trea and Gibson. A few days later, they released the Cover Athletes program and Tatis's cost went up like 75%. Then Trea dropped under 90. So, in total I missed out on like 100k stubs between the two. Just ridiculous how they screw everyone on this game sometimes. Not a big deal though.

Ugh what a kick in the junk after buying last weekend... Could have bought Ramirez with the drop and finished the AL

That's usually what I do too. I didn't this year for some reason and I regret it. I mean, I'm only Vlad Jr., Tatis, Ohtani, and Trout away from completing the Live Series collection.
I just need to get Tatis out of the way and I think I'll be much more motivated to get it done.

If you don’t have Vlad yet that Mike Mussina is gunna be a treat. Easily my favourite pitcher to use he’s just so much fun…if that’s a thing. No change up but the 5 pitchers are all good, I thought it would be an issue but I think it actually helps him a bit.

Dropped out of the 90s range.
How far does his cost drop?
I hope it drops a lot, I need him

His H/9 being pretty low hasn't been an issue for you?
That's the one thing about the card that gave me pause when looking through the collection rewards. His velocity being low doesn't bother me as I usually do well with the likes of Greg Maddux, Adam Wainwright, and Cole Hamels.
-
He keeps hovering around the 99k-106k range
Patience is killing me, I can scoop him right now but figure I’ll regret if I do
-
It will slowly decline. Assuming he stays at 89 i would say he drops about 15k a week
-
Just use Trea Turner as a bit of a comparison. I think he was around 55-60k after about 2 weeks and now like 20-25k. One thing to keep in mind though, is that there is a VERY good chance, that for Memorial Day, their is going to likely be a stub sale, and that will greatly inflate the market. If i didnt have him already, I think i'd wait a week to buy him at least, but i'd 100% purchase him before the next attribute update and make sure I get him before the stub sale happens.

Honestly with pitching in this game when you run into a really good hitter it doesn’t matter who your throwing. But he does have amazing BB/9 so you can spot it just outside the zone and get some weak outs. Realistically I don’t know what else you can do this year besides that. A foot outside is a foul, inside is a bomb, there likes a two inch zone outside the black where if they chase it’s a chance for an out. He’s just fun with that movement. Destroys the AI, won’t carry you to WS but a solid ace for now.

Well, I could certainly use another reliable starter because at the moment, the only long-term guys I have in my rotation are probably Jacob deGrom and Dontrelle Willis.
