For those who have both cards (opinion)
-
Jackie or Brett? Which one to get first?
-
Depends what your team needs are. 2B is usually a weaker position for most people and Jackie’s a lot more versatile so I’d lean towards him.
-
So I got Jackie today and have Brett P5. Moonshot isn’t the best forum, but here are his stats vs other of mine (total online stats for the others):
Jackie = 3/20 (1HR, no Ks so weak contact)
Brett = 14/42 (6 HRs)Meanwhile:
Julio HRD = 27/51 (.529, 7 HRs)
Soto HRD = 24/47 (.511, 7 HRs)So small sample but I’m a decent hitter and sadly am unimpressed thus far with Jackie but maybe there is a break in period…..
-
Jackie. Devers is a very similar option at 3B that is free.

Ok, playing more with Jackie especially in the new Event (3 HRs for Jackie in 4 games) I change my answer. Apparently much like a composite bat, just needs a small break in period.

I also started slow with Jackie, his swing is long, IDK if father time caught up with me and my reaction time is slower now but I seem to be late with him a lot

Agree - slower swing than I remember.

Really glad to hear that. Jackie was my best card last year and my first P5. I'm only a few cards away and could afford him but it's hard parting with all those stubs. Still, your assessment of Soto and JRod might have changed my mind.
-
Soto and JROD will just be better cards at the All Star level I think. Crazy exit velocities and quick swings. Their defense sucks but not as much as say Stanton who is basically unplayable in LF (literally dropped 2 balls during 1 Event game for me).
I’ll be curious to hear others weigh in in time with regards to the perceived “slowness” of Jackie’s swing. I’ve had to adjust and just swing earlier but I don’t recall having that issue before with his cards.
-
I really like Utley at 2nd, so for me 3rd is a bigger whole. Brett has killed it for me so far. I don't have Jackie yet but will get him soon, I loved his card last year. But if I had to choose, I would take Brett, IMO.
