I sure like my lineup after the X2 XP weekend!

Even when your guy has 99 speed he grounds into a double play which is annoying
Not if you have the guy on first steal 2B. If your guy on 1B isn't fast enough to steal, pinch run for him and then take 2B. Take 3B while you're at it too.

What's with the gold card on your bench?
Corbin Carroll? He has 99 speed and 99 steal. I have three of those on the bench for conquest games and one extra catcher for when I need to pinch run for him (to put him in off the bench after a pinch runner has done their job). I hit well with Corbin Carroll, so that is why I have that card on my bench. If they had a 99 of him, I would use that.
First thing that came to my mind was your strategy on the Xtreme conquest-map last year. To me it was pretty clear from the get go why you have Rickey and Corbin on your bench

You remember that? I'm impressed. I hardly remember last year

How is the Wade Boggs 99 card
-
@sbchamps17_NSW I hit well with Boggs, so for me, it's a great card. His defense is pretty solid too. You should give him a shot in a CPU game before taking him into conquest. You may like him too.
-
I might just try him out in conquest or mini seasons just because I'm not a big fan of the CPU 9 inning games because for me they take too long to play
-
i cant get that Buxton card going , ive given it more than enough chance ,ive tried him in every spot in the line up , at one point he was below the mendoza line , and thats pathetic for a 99 player
-
@hoo_pharted_PSN - that surprises me. In a recent CPU game, he went 7-7 with 8 RBIs. He hit 5 HRs and had 2 SB. He has been a solid card for me in conquest games too. He did get caught stealing 3B in one game though.

I have Brett at 3rd and DH with Boggs
-
@theBlindRhino_PSN That is a solid card at 3B too. When I revised my lineup this morning, I was surprised at how many great cards there are now. I don't have Brett yet (I took Paige - and I waffled between the two for about 10 minutes), but look forward to when I can add him to my lineup.
-
Not hitting too bad with Brett, hitting well with buxton though so he might be a wild card option but not too sure yet
-

Since you have Brett, using Boggs may be a downgrade. Compare their defense (I haven't compared the cards yet). Brett is a great card at 3B.
-
@dmc04005_PSN I always have a 99 speed on the bench preferably one with pinch hit as as quirk. Super beneficial
-
Honus Wagner is the bench king for steal guys.
Pinch runs for anyone but catcher and then plays their position well.
-
@Teak2112_MLBTS can you only get him from br and marketplace?

Yes. BR is a slog but for me it was worth it. Too expensive on the market

@Blind_Bleeder_PSN Hey, you got your cornerstone captain for S2

@Blind_Bleeder_PSN Hey, you got your cornerstone captain for S2
Yay - maybe he'll boost speedsters! That would be awesome.
@sbchamps17_NSW you inspired me to buy the Season Awards Elly card
-
@Blind_Bleeder_PSN That would be my guess. I'm thinking it'll be RH power, LH power, speed and velocity for the S2 captain boosts.
