Bump for awareness!
No. Just no.
Just because you're a scrub who loses every game you play isn't my fault.

I hate to do this, but I would be remiss if I didn't mention that Date Palm Field is best field.

I will take you on, so long as I can use Aldalberto in all 8 positions. Actually... Can he pitch too?

99 Seager would like a word. Had a 5 home run game with him last night. Best card in the game.
I wish I could hit with Seager but I've been god awful with him since Day 1. He seems to always kill me however.

He may in fact be the best card in the game. Of course this is strictly based on my own opinion and experience so others will vary, but I am a firm believer in the above statement. The only player whom I believe may be better offensively is Griffey and or Mantle.
Here are some reasons...
- 99 speed, 99 stealing.
If you haven't discovered it yet, speed is one of the most important attributes in this game next to power. If you're a scrub like me, you also understand how effective bunting is in this game. 7 stolen bags in RS in 7 attempts, he's basically standing on second the moment he reaches first.
- 125/125 vs LHP.
Swinging over .600 for me (and im not even bunting) the power mondesei brings to the table serves two purposes. 1 being the long dong. The second being...
- Vs RHP, auto shift plays defense deep
You can hit bloopers for days with a contact swing and Mondesei's 60 power vs rhp. This also serves as a counter to...
- Baiting and beating the bunt defense.
With his incredible speed many people assume auto bunt vs rhp, which is completely justified considering his bionic legs. But with the combination of 60 power, deep defense, 2b in, the right side has a hole so big, even the largest of men can't occupy this space.
- Gold defense at 2B
Since SS is going to always be occupied by Trevor Story, Mondesei can provide elite defense at 2B thanks to his incredible speed.
Try him out if you havent.
UPDATE
I firmly believe him to be the best card in the game. Since I posted this I am still hitting over .500 with him. A lot of players I am facing use the auto shift and play very deep. My average vs RHP is around .600 while vs LHP is around .400, very few AB vs LHP unfortunately.
Absolutely the best card in the game and a perfect lead off hitter. Bloop singles followed by Trout blasts for days.
Speed to me is the most important. Sure the long ball is nice but speed can make a big inning without the ball leaving the yard. I have trouble using guys who are slow. Heck even Soto makes me angry sometimes. Been using Realmuto at catcher because he at least has some wheels. I like Freeman over Bellinger at first but Bellinger can run. Still have not figured out what to do with Machado.

Why not just take Mondesi's swing and put him on a cap so he's better against both sides? I can't use Mondesi when Tatis, Lindor and my CAP are all better in the infield

CAP is best as cheese in the pen. Mondesi whipes the floor with Tatis and Lindor at the SS position.

Evidence?
-
Still waiting on that there evidence.

I used Adalberto Mondesi's 85 card as a pinch runner in Conquest games for months. I haven't used his 98 card yet.
-
Its legit the best card in the game.

That's it. I'm finally convinced. I'm adding him to my RS squad immediately. He's currently at ZERO plate appearances, so let's see how I can screw this up.
-
WHEEEEEEEEEE!!!!
I’ve noticed it’s getting a little stressful out here on the board today. So, let’s all remember how fun Adalberto is.
You’re welcome.

Go on........

I suck with pretty much every hitter and every opponent I play tends to pitch in the stretch with any base runner on so Aldaberto has never done me much good. Guys slap with him against me though.
-
this is going to be a weird take... im a decent player. usually get to cs without a problem but i love cal ripken so much. i know people doen like his swing but in 87 games hes hitting .373 for me. i just moved him to the bench and put 99 bregman from the event there to test him out but ripken is one of my favourites this year

What's up with his stealing though? I've been thrown out 9 times in 25 attempts, even by Foxx a couple times... 99/99 should be to the base before foxx even gets the throw past the mound
I have had that happen too 99/99 still should give a close play with some of the catchers even with a perfect throw.
