Set 2 Cornerstone Captains

Surprised that they did not boost them a few points. 88 was the overall of the season 1 cornerstone captains.
I feel like they shouldn't be a high overall card... it is supposed to be a strategic card... it should have strength and weaknesses.

Even if you boosted them by two points each season they would only be 90's this season and 92's next. That is not too overpowered.
Makes no difference to me though as I doubt I use any of them.

Oh Raffy... ok that's interesting
That looks good. I'm wondering if he'll be similar to Arenado boost for slowpokes.

Don't forget to collect them all, though.
-
I think I might take the pitcher to start again then maybe switch to Stanton
-
I hope they all have a valuable places in the meta. Was unfortunate seeing everyone have buxton but then again at my level captain boosts aren't super prevalent. He was just the only one you would see.
-
@Dolenz64_XBL They also get the boost though.
-
I liked using madux because he gave low powered hitters clutch which imo is more valuable than power . And arenado guys are just too slow.
-
Did they say what players they boost?
-
@jaychvz_XBL not yet
-
were gonna all have brand new teams in like 5 days.
-
Do they give us the pack again or do we have to earn it from the season 2 XP reward path?
-
As someone who likes to steal bases, it’s Corbin all the way
-
I like the players they chose. Let’s hope the boosts are great.
-
The Castillo captain boost is for live series players and its VERY GOOD! Going to be seeing a lot of this for the start of season 2 for sure. Very glad I have the live series done right now!

hmmm.. I would argue that it's merely dec. no power increase. But to have a live series boost is dope in essence.
-
I don't think it it that great. Let's look at a random 85 diamond hitter
Adolis Garcia - The hitting boost raises his contact numbers to 77 V R and 88 V L.
And an 85 pitcher
Corbin Burnes - Raises his H/9 to 103 and his BB/9 to 80
I think it is safe to assume that TA2 cards will quickly be replacing most live series players with the exception of the 90+ live diamonds.
-
Depending on the captain boost we will have 75% the same team. Captain Castillo for example boosts LS hitters. LS cards will be going up a bit in price IMO. +15 CON R and CON L is a good boost for cards like Trout and Acuna who are not getting inside boosts anytime soon.
-
TA2 cards might not replace LS cards as quickly as you might think. Bit again, hard to tell without knowing what the other captain cards boost.
-
well I personally haven't used Trout, Acuna, or hardly any of these live series or core cards as there's been better options. so they'll be new to me my squad.
but I bet over 50% of my squad will be new come completion of the first installment of TAS2
