I'm looking at the HRD Ripken and wondering how players rate him compared to the other top (non CAP) shortstops. So, a question for the forumers: rank these cards
HRD Cal Ripken
99 Barry Larkin
99 Ernie Banks
PotM Correa
PotM Didi Gregorious
Shortstop rankings?

Larkin
Vs left handed pitching Larkin is great but just don’t have the pop vs righties. Cals swing stinks. He looks great on paper but he is the consensus worst swing in the game pretty much every year
SDS
Have not used Ernie but this is my ranking
Ripken
Didi
Larkin
Correa
Then banks can fall in somewhere when I use him...
I love Ripken though
SDS
Banks
Didi-hes 2nd because I love lefties
Correa-reverse splits
Larkin-only really effective against lefties
Ripken-polarizing because you either love his swing or think its the worst swing in the game.

I hit incredibly well with Correa.

I forgot to add in Yount as an option! Where does he slot in to everyone's rankings? Still behind Banks?

Not sure about everyone else but I would slot him in behind Correa ahead of Larkin.
SDS
I hit 5 straight HR's with Yount in the event. never done that with any other players! I would put Yount at the top when you add in the diamond defense. The only one I haven't tried is Banks, but not a fan of that D at SS. Never used Correa.
SDS
Han ram is the best bat at shortstop. I personally love his swing. Defense can let you down but he will surprise you with the plays he makes.
SDS
It's a small sample size size, but I've loved hitting with FOTF Michael Young. Has GREAT contact and enough power to got the occasional HR and plenty of XBH. He recently replaced Brujan at SS for me.
SDS
man no one talking about the Ozman ? he is a dancing ballerina before the game, plays like a champ in game, and then post game gets to dance like a sugarplum fairy in the dressing room

That's how he swings the stick too

I like Ernie Banks better than I thought I would. Larkin was my entrenched shortstop before I got him, and sadly I don't think he's gonna make it back to the lineup. Banks is insane offensively. Larkin is better defensively.

lol i love his swing dainty and little bloops everywhere
SDS
Jazz anyone? Just unlocked him recently and he’s probably the best all around shortstop I’ve used. Better than Didi and Correa for me.
Haven’t used Banks buy Jazz has to be in the conversation.
SDS
Correa
Jazz
I wanted for Ripken to be the guy! Better ss than Jeter could ever thought about being.
I cant hit very good but even worse with him.

I banged a hanging cutter vs RHP for a dinger in his first AB of his debut for me. I said to myself, “Well I guess that answers that...”

I bought him to use at 2B with Yount at SS.. I enjoy using him as well
