Long list of best cards at each position

104/100 vs right is basically the Nolan's from TA2. Less defense than both of them oop at first. Abysmal vs lefty stats so he has to be platooned. Only reason he's a 95 is discipline and clutch so he's literally just built to be a pinch hitter.
For non stat related rants, its a Padre card for a guy whos best years were as a Brave, getting a hit at Turner Field.
Theres 30 first baseman and secondary first basemen id use before that card.

Anyone try out 94 Kyle Hendrick? He has some serious movement, great control, and swing and miss stuff against AI. Reminds me of Maddox 99 without the cutter. Very fun to pitch with.

I hit amazing against him. He is absolutely terrible. You need a good motion or velocity to be usable

Yeah his FB does get hit if you dont set it up. I pitch backwards with him using the FB as a Change up. But online I could see players just sitting low location on off speed.

Maaaan...Thank you so much for this. You are awesome!

Love this list- one adjustment id recommend is move Madrigal down a bit; only because I haven’t seen him used in months, whereas the next couple guys have had many glowing reviews in last few weeks: again love this and just want to help make it as accurate to what I see out there as possible
-
I'll say this - I picked up Brock the other day and he's extremely good at the dish and with that speed in LF, he gets to pretty much everything. One of the few Diamond LF'ers and I'm enjoying a heck of a lot more than I did Carlson.

My time with that card in the 6th inning showdown made me realize I needed to finish that TA ASAP. Fun card.

I'm unlocking Brock this evening when I get home and can't wait only question is where to play him because I have Trout in Left, Mantle in Center and Walker in Right.

Makes since. I love his swing but there are better guys like Biggio, Jackie, Cano, and others behind him

Ok follow up question then, over who. My bench is
Biggio
Sheffield
Jackson
Blackmon
Griffey -

GriffeyI'd replace Blackmon in favor of Brock in your case. Brock's speed alone on the base paths and in LF makes this sort of a no-brainer.

If you think that's a no-brainer then you have clearly never hit with 96 Charlie blackmon.

Sure. He hits, but so does Brock (sneaky power too). Depends on what each person values. I value defense and speed way more in the outfield. Blackmon lacks that.
Blackmon lacks the arm strength, reaction and speed. That's not debatable. Not saying it's a bad card by any means. .

yes I will agree brock is a better fielder but the question we were answering was for a bench player. A pinch hitter. He was not asking for a starting left fielder he was asking about a bench player. he already has trout, mantle and Walker in the outfield. Brock or blackmon are not replacing any of those guys. If you have two outs in the bottom of the 9th and I had to pick between Brock or Blackmon at the plate with bases loaded I would pick Blackmon.

That's flat out moot, all due respect. No way you bring in Blackmon over Biggio and Sheff anyway in a pinch hit situation with it all on the line.
If I have someone in scoring position with bases loaded, I plug in Brock as a pinch runner in a cocaine heartbeat with his phenomenal 99's in speed, stealing and base running aggressiveness.
There are attributes besides contact and power that matter this year. Speed and defense this year matter. You can't always hit bombs and deep gappers.

Its because every card plays differently for everyone so all opinions are valid and worth talking about.

That is a very good point. There are plenty of guys that are amazing for some and then suck for others
