    I would save your stubs and invest for the collection coming up. I would play Biggio over your catcher CAP

    Get Hershiser and prestige him to replace Oswalt. Also get Ernie Banks and use him over Didi at SS.

    I would also consider trying out Lou Brock in LF over Evans. He's got very good hitting attributes and that 99 speed is a game changer.

    EDIT: I just realized you'r a Sox fan and Im a Cardinals fan and im recommending one of our guys over one of yours 😁

    I swear im not being a homer lol. I love that Brock card!

    Agreed 100%...I've been grinding prestige with all of those TA3 cards, and I also really enjoyed prestiging Catfish and Jim Palmer. I was a LITTLE disappointed with Smoltz until I prestiged him, now he's solid. Kerry Wood and Leiter though? MAJOR disappointments to me.

    Wood was good last year but not this year. Leiter is either really good or bad I’ve heard Palmer is average but Catfish is trash, how is he good for you?

    I think it all depends on your pitching "style", if that makes sense. Take Hal Newhouser for example. I've played against guys who used him and CRUSHED him, but I've played against guys that kept me off balance with him all game.

    Personally I love Palmer's curve and Catfish's slider. I love a good out pitch with serious speed / break differences. They've both been really good for me.

    Palmer has a good curve but Catfish has the worst slider in the game in my opinion. I face him and the slider has little to no break.

    Liter is great for me, Hershiser is the best! I’ve actually been surprised with how good I’ve pitched with Kerry Wood. I loved Jim Palmer last year, but this year I’m not having great success with him yet. Cole Hamels has been either really good or just bad...

    Depending on who they release and how many more carss I'll need; I'm not woeried about the Chase program. I will not pay over 10K for a Gold player.

    I'm trying to Prestige Didi and Oswalt. Should I not even bother with that?
    And I am close to my next 99 pick. Was thinking of taking Reggie. But I could also take Larkin. How much bettwt is Banks than Larkin? And Should I buy Orel now or wait till I get him by completing the stages?

    Doesn't matter. Evans is batting .184; so even though I'm a Sox fan; he's replaceable.

    So, Brock at Left and keep Jackie at 2nd?

    Brock even over Reggie at Left?

    Larkin was my starting SS before I tried Banks. Larkin gets to more balls in the field, but my god can Banks hit. In my opinion, Banks is the current best SS in the game without question. Jimmy Rollins might make a case with the next bosses though.

    As far as Orel, I would get him and prestige him ASAP. He's a lock for your starting 5.

    I saw the price for Banks. Honestly; if I'm going to spend that much on a player, I'd rather it be a Boss like Rollins.

    Try Orel or Kerry Wood. Maybe it's just a small sample but I've been destroying people with Wood, averaging 2 strikeouts an inning. Easily my most fun albeit kinda scary pitcher to use. Also don't put Biggio at C keep your CAP, Biggio is not nearly as good of a blocker and it sucks losing strikeouts because of it.
