Now that we've had a little time with these guys whose blowing you away? For me its Tony Gwenn, his hitting of course but his fielding has been out of this world. He had a play where he ran into the wall to make a catch almost at the post in right and flipped around to throw a missile to 3rd that was dead on. It was jaw dropping for me.
Best FOTF players for you so far?
SDS
For me Thome has been a machine. I knew he would crush RHP, but he has been surprisingly good vs lefties as well
SDS
Gwynn has 6 hrs in rs.. I don't know how, but he has sneaky power... Brett is hitting over 550 but that's about 6 rs games and a handful of event, he's been solid enough that my recently acquired prestige chipper is on the bench for lefties..
I wish I was good with Orel, but he's been hit pretty hard..
SDS
I had Gywnn on my team for quite awhile until i got mantle. His ealier card was good, highest average for me. Not sure how I can fit him in with Walker, Sheff, Mantle and Reggie. been playing sheff at 3rd some but not the greatest there. Atleast we got great choices.
SDS
I know he may not be the most popular pick but Dwight Evans has been great for me. He has a really quick swing and his arm is unreal.
SDS
I really like George Brett. I've always liked his swing each year with his card. Just got Bagwell being a big Astros fan and will be trying him out today.
SDS
Bagwell killing everything, ranked and event. It's almost like they fixed the card that was broken the last 3 years.
Kendall sprays everywhere. Also, he homers on perfect/perfect more than I expected.
AJ and Orel have been good. Wood a bit of a bust because of the control. Smoltz has had one good and one absolute clunker.
SDS
As others have said, Brett is always an end game 3B, I don't think that's changed this year.
Gwynn has unbelievable pop and exit velocities, Glavin has been great for me, and I think I will get better with Dawson.
The Crime Dog has a super fun swing, but I haven't had much luck with him yet (very small sample size)
SDS
Al Leiter was a nightmare to control the first 3 innings, but is now dominant. That Cutter to lefties......
EDIT - I meant righties!
SDS
Eric Davis, I have already decided I will prestige the guy. I'm a tribe fan so I expect Thome to be my best when I get him.
SDS
All the pitchers. Kerry Wood, Orel Hershiser, and Al Leiter are staying in my rotation for a while. Hershiser is obviously great, Al Leiter is like Cole Hamels with a sinker, and Kerry Wood has the nastiest stuff I’ve ever seen (although he can be hard to control).
SDS
I’m putting Griffey in my outfield, I have springer and I want to try Gwynn but don’t know who to start him over... I also have belli prestiged, I want him in the outfield because I have big papi at first idk what to dooooo lol
SDS
I wish I were exaggerating, but Konerko has now had two good/squared WITH POWER SWING that didn’t even make it to the LF warning track. I have no idea how that’s even possible.
Thankfully his stellar defense and lightning speed make up for it!
...
SDS
Brock isn’t bad. Only used him in events so far. Good leadoff hitter. Defense is starting to become an issue though

I've been playing at laughing mountain and have had a few perfect perfect fly outs to center. Two with Bagwell, one with gwynn, and one with Jackson. Its frustrating, but I'm guessing it happens to my opponents too at that park
SDS
Gwynn been solid for me. Surprising pop. Kaline has been a monster so far for me. Good pop and great defense
SDS
All I know is Thome destroys common pitchers.
I have yet to use him in RS, but I could see him being a big bat off the bench or a sub for Thames if I’m in a slump with him

Lou Brock.
Yea I'm loving him too. He gets the craziest on base animations where you swear hes out but no he made it before the tag. I feel pretty safe stealing his way to third against anyone. Getting him on base to pull that off is a bit trickier though.
