Rollins and Banks

SDS

I watched @Healy6_ have Rollins at SS and Banks at 3rd seemed legit. has anyone else tried this?

SDS

If you like Banks' bat over Killebrew/Brett/Bryant/Sheffield then yeah absolutely. I can't remove Rollins from SS now because his D is that good, I got real sick of seeing Banks and everyone else watch dribblers up the middle as they get stuck in QUICKSAND.

SDS

Very true. I have prestige chipper at 3rd so I may move him to the bench.

SDS

One thing I'd note is he doesn't maintain gold shield at third and his defense is already subpar. Defense matters much less at third than it does at short but he doesn't have the same kind of arm to make up for mistakes.

True, all the more reason to have Brett on the squad as well because Brett can field pretty well. But even Killebrew will glove and attempt jump throws when the ball is close to the foul line, if Banks can get those animations too then his 84 arm strength should be good enough to throw some runners out at 1B.

I picked up Rollins now that he became cheap, and so far through 6 games (5 conquest)vs CPU, he has 3 fielding errors. I had the same problem with FotF Olson. Some of the players that others rave about their defense, are terrible for me.

The area between 2nd and 3rd is coded as quicksand in the basepaths; might as well be on defensive situations too. Every baserunner that rounds 2B or starts from 2B is an absolute moron in this game. I will never understand why they can’t or won’t fix that problem.

Rollins sucks a big fat D hitting wise. Banks is a stud
