Is Honus a lot better than Banks?
-
I love Honus because I love his speed and defense. I'm sure Ernie is a great card, but for what I want at Shortstop, it's not for me. And for what his card is at first base, I have a plethora of options likely better there. If he ever played third I feel like he'd be great there as well

It's weird that most people haven't had success with Honus in this thread. He has been my best shortstop.
.344/.389/.490. Of course, the slugging isn't that impressive, but diamond defense and he has stolen 129 bases in 155 attempts good for an 83% success rate.
For comparision, Banks hit .295/.392/.437, that is in only about 200 at-bats for him, Honus has a lot more.
I'm always interested in what other people consider great players
Personally for me I usually look for a .360 average and at least 1.150 ops, Lindor far exceeds that(.400 BA and 1.300 ops) but Honus falls short(.980 ops), I can't stand that card's hitting tendencies
Honus also makes a scary amount of errors, I was playing against the 11th rated player in the world at the time and Honus made 2 errors that cost me 5 runs in total, guess what I lost by
Honus has never made an error for me lol
Honus has a .970 fielding% for me, I should throw Frank there
Frank is a machine anywhere on the diamond

i never really experimented with anyone other than Frank for this very reason - he was glitched this year no way that was common defence dude was diving and had tons of incredible moves over the past year for me

Honus is hitting.375 for me in AS. It’s a pretty small sample size though, and I am a pretty poor hitter.
I think the problem people are having with him is more of a problem with the game than the card.

Ernie Banks is a much better hitter, and he's more than adequate on defense. The only thing lacking is speed. Personally, I wouldn't grind for Honus if I had to do it over again.
