Thames, Springer, or J-Ram?

If you plan on doing the big collection Springer would be more useful than the other 2 IMO. Thames is the best for your squad though
Wouldnt Thames now (on the update) count as a part of the lightning collection? I'm assuming they renamed it that, for cards like his.

Really depends on who's swing you hit better with. I have not liked that Thames as much as i want to, but Springer has been great, haven't gotten to JRam yet

He might, but seeing that you probably won’t need all 5 for the collection( or can just wait for August), Springer would save you from paying 20k or more on that last postseason card

Well if you look at it that way. JRAM for the future Finest collection at the end of the year... given there’s enough of a season to develop a finest program.
Of course, won’t help you in the near future.

I’m on team J Ram- switch hitting, solid def at multiple positions. Should last longer on your team

Valid point.

I’d go JRam tbh. As @peteypoz said, he will last a long time on the bench with that positional flexibility, serviceable D, power v R, switch hitting and good speed. Springer hits lefties well and plays good D so you could argue him as well.
But I would not go Thames simply due to the reverse splits. Cards like Thome, Killebrew and Musial are better at 1B than him IMO, making him a bench bat. Reverse splits are good for a starting player, but I don’t like them in a bench bat.

Collection points aside, Thames is the clear winner, probably best first baseman in show history (not including secondaries), springier is second as a really good hitter and average fielder, and I don’t think I’ve given Ramirez more than 10 ABs after seeing all of the errors he’s given up for others.

Jose Ramirez first

I was 100% in on Thames at Level 25. There are a lot more 1B out now then there was when I got him. Thome, Ortiz and Stan can all rake like Thames.
Honestly all 3 cards are very good. It really comes down to which position you’d be able to fill and honestly JRam is the most versatile for that. I’ve used him at 2B, 3B and SS. And could take an OF spot or 1B if you need it. Destroys RH pitching too and his no doubter animation is sweet.
Have you been able to use any this year in BR or showdowns to try their swings?
