Which one and why?
I cant see turners attributes as he isnt on the app yet and im watching the game.
with rollins having 99 spd his con and pwr probably arent much different so him being a switch hitter makes him the choice -
Lindor and Larkin say hello.

I'm guessing you're keeping Brett at 3rd. I'M going to keep Rollins at SS and put Trea at 3rd. I've always hit well with trea and his defense shouldn't get hit much. Plus that 99 speed and stealing are going to help out nicely. I also don't want to lose a good switch hitter like Rollins when I have so many right hitters already in my lineup. Of course I'm the guy using Honus at 1st.
-
I'm still far from Rollins and never hit well with him, but the Trea is 'free, ' so there. If this Trea is good as last years then another vote for Trea.

Trea has just about every active quirk there is. Not sure if he’s better yet but Trea cards always play above his attributes. Good thing his attributes are great too. I’ll have him soon.

Don't have Brett yet. He'll go to third if/when I get him after I get MA Devers to P5.

Maybe my better question would have been with this 99 Trea being released is this card, that is basically free, better than a mega collection reward?
Granted to get Rollins; you need Brett and Cutch. But is locking in all those stubs, after those two, worth it when you can just get Trea for free? And chances are they're will be a better Finest SS next month. Only thing that helps Rollins is his switch hitting.

Well if your question is can a card that’s not a collection be better than a collection card then yes. I think Larkin is as good as Rollins and maybe better to some. I think Brett Is still clearly the best third baseman though. McCutchen Is awesome but Griffey is better.

Who told you Griffey was better than Cutch lol??

Both? I think Turner is better suited for 2nd. His attributes aren't as good as Jimmy's but Trea's active quirks are huge. Trea also has the weird crowd the plate stance. I don't mind it and I like his swing but that could also factor in who plays. Trea will send Honus to the bench when I get him. As for Larkin and Lindor I think Larkin is in the conversation for sure, especially if you consider cost. Attribute wise Larkin is better than Trea but again those active quirks could be the great equalizer. Everyone raves about Lindor but I don't hit great with him and he is slow compared to these other top 3.

Never thought of putting him at 2nd. Hmmmm

2nd is probably the best spot for him if u hsvr Rollins. 2 99 speed guys in your middle infield

I thought about that too. The problem is Durham. A fast switch hitting natural 2B that is good with small ball and HR hitting is huge. Brett's swing is nice but, for me, is more suited for the bench. I hit alright with Larkin, but inconsistently.
In the end it's going to be who you work best with. I love speed. Perhaps it's because I rarely get off the couch? I'm going with Honus at 3, Durham at 4, Trea at 5, and Rollins at 6. All 99 speed, all can field, all can play small ball, and all can hit HRs.
I just hope Taylor Ward gets the Finest card for the Angels or Realmuto for the Phils. Then I'll have a quick catcher too.

I definitely prioritize speed. Unfortunately I feel like speed was much more important the last two years. Durham was a solid bat for me in events but he had three errors in like 15 games so that was just not going to cut it for me. Never gave him a chance after that. Don't forget to add Jackie to the bench. Who is your OF? I have Griffey and Hank there. Tried Rickey for a while but needed another big bat in there so I have Vlad and Ruth sharing RF, they are not fast. I need a new Trout and Mantle to add to Jr so my OF will be set. Power and speed for days.

I was a non believer myself until mid last year, when Freeman was tearing it up with him LS. There was no reason for it based on attributes but he had like 7 active quirks. Joram was the same this year, his HRD card could still be in my lineup, same could be said about lightning Devers. Soto is in the same boat. I always take attributes first, but if it is close I go with the active quirks guys.

It's not that I'm a non believer, but the only active quirks that do anything other than increase contact are dead red and bb hitter. Even then no one knows exactly what those do. I don't need anything more than 110 contact so any contact increasing quirks don't really do it for me

For OF I'm trying to figure that out. It's currently Rickey, Corbin Carroll, and Jr. in RF. I'm not liking it too much though. I used Rickey's Takashi card for months, but this one doesn't feel the same. Carroll's swing isn't as good as others, but I can't find someone with his speed I like more. Griffey is just meh, for me, if I could find another fast 1B I'd move Honus to the OF.
Just checked something. Thank you for reminding me. I think I'll move Jackie to 1st and Honus to CF. That makes more RHs than LH/S. I might have to break down and get Mauer or hope Cal Raleigh gets a finest card. Of course Kendall could be better and Jimmie Foxx isn't doing it.
I agree speed isn't as important this year, but handedness is more important and that little speed boost is still good for normal baserunning and fielding. I didn't notice speed help fielding until this year too.

Tree has been great for me so far BUT….Oscar Gonzalez has been unreal. He’s been like a slightly faster free Vlad
