2 Must Have Budget Pickups From This Weeks Content Drop
-
Both are obvious but glitchy nonetheless.. remember these are budget beasts not meant to be the best at their positions
1. Milestone 92 Jorge Polanco SS/2B
What to like: Switch hitter with nice blend of contact and power, can turn on inside heat and sit back on offspeed with a smooth swing (only cost ~12K stubs)
Almost maxed contactCON R: 117(!)
CON L: 94
POW R: 90
POW L: 79
VIS: 93What not to like:
FLD: 64
ARM: 65
ACC: 67
REA: 65Obviously you would play him at 2B if you’re looking for an upgrade
2. 89 Charlie Blackmon OF
What to like:
I’m sure y’all familiar with his butter smooth swing.. seems easier to move the PCI to the corners with the quick bat speed
FREE by doing a couple (easy) moments and both exchanges in the Rockies jersey programCON R: 99
CON L: 100
POW R: 88
POW L: 70What not to like:
FLD: 68
ARM: 63
ACC: 55
REA: 68His primary is CF and could get up to silver fielding (70+ FLD / 70+ REA) in center but I would still play him in LF if you’re looking for more offense
Also consider a RH platoon since he has lower power vs LeftCompare this card to the new Awards Reggie Jackson that just dropped in the RS program and you’ll see why he’s a literal budget beast
-
Castellanos easily… Totally agree with Polanco for the time being. Bobby Miller is an elite pitching option and easily the best option out of the Future Stars.
-
Castellanos is a beast but not so much on the budget side as he was in the rare round and cost 60K stubs
I agree on the Bobby Miller take though that’s the one that stood out to me plus the switch hitter with the Rockies and the Marlins SS and Mets lefty bat
-
Blackmon is amazing. I just hit P5 with his silver last week. Was hitting .400+ in Ranked with his silver.

Yeah once you get that swing down it’s smooth sailing from thereI’ll definitely parallel this All-Star diamond version online while I work on collections
