Prestige Stan Musial is the best 1B in the game.
Prestige Jimmy Rollins is god squad worthy
Trout is the worst of the top 4 OF
Perfect perfect flyballs with 120+ should be gaurenteed moonshots. Too many early swings become bombs and perfects become flyball outs.
While SDS deserves a lot of love for the content this year, it took a MLB player shouting on stream to finally get moves made to fix defensive issues from the start of the year. Once that occured and was fixed they've seemingly left balance alone the rest of the year or are balancing without communicating to the community, which would be super unfortunate.

The term "hot take" is so over used and often not even used correctly.
These aren't hot takes. These are just false.
Bellinger is the best option at 1st base. Aside from him, there are other options at 1 who are better than Stan Musial.Jimmy Rollins didn't even make a god squad the day he came out, let alone today when we're what.... 5 months down the road?
Trout is arguably the best card in the history of the show.
Also, your perfect-perfect argument is actually an argument with early/late swings. Perfect could use a tweak sure, but early/late 100% needs a tweak.

I can let the Trout one pass because out of the big 4(5 if you count Soto) outfielders, it is really personal preference. The Musial claim and the Rollins one are flat out false though

Yeah the trout one is a push but could be true the others ones are just flat out horrible

Prestige rollins vs Tatis
Tatis has 21 con vs r
45 powe vs r
31 power vs leftThats it. He's slower. A worse fielder, the arms a push, 30 worse vision (which sds has confirmed increases the dead center pci sweet spot). Rollins is also a switch hitter with balanced splits so he always has the handedness advantage.
Bellinger has a better arguement than any other first baseman because he's a true 5 tool firsr basemen with his speed and defense.
That being said, youre still giving up
9 con v r
27 con v left
And 9 visionOther than Bellinger Prestige Musial is the clear best. 125 contact high vision make it so easy to square the ball up.

Power is king in this game for one, which Tatis has the clear advantage. Switch hitting isn’t nearly as important as everyone makes it out to be. Rollins is short, and small strike zones are harder to hit with. Fielding makes no difference if they both have the diamond shield. There isn’t a noticeable difference between 99 and 90 but there is from 99 to 89. I’ll give you speed, but unless you are running a cheesy all speed team build anything over 80 speed is more than enough.
As for Musial, and he is a good card don’t get me wrong, is outclassed by Bellinger in literally every category. Contact vs L is the least important of the 5 hitting attributes simply due to no one facing LHP very often. Bellingers swing alone puts him over Musial.
That’s just the two examples you gave too. I didn’t even mention Honus(Who is basically a better Rollins without the switch hitting btw), Lindor, Seager, Babe, or Gehrig -

That’s just the two examples you gave too. I didn’t even mention Honus(Who is basically a better Rollins without the switch hitting btw), Lindor, Seager, Babe, or GehrigSo you say theres no difference defensively but Rollins in the only short stop that gets 90+ reaction with 90+ speed. He literally gets to everything and has a 1.000 fielding % in 1500+ innings. The arguement for Honus is there with prestige, but the base card doesnt match Rollins D. The arguement for the short strikezone goes out the window when you realize everyone is running Mookie, they're the same height.
Babe loses 35 vision to trade for 19 power v r.
Gehrig is the closest but without prestige he's worse defensively, doesn't get 125 power vs either hand and is strictly worse vs lefties.Seager doesn't have 1b eligibility or the arguement could be made, he's WAAAY too slow to play middle infield.
Lindor is too slow to be at short to me but I haven't logged enough innings yet. In theory his 92 reaction should help make up for that but i cant say ive noticed that with machado.
My arguement for Musial basically boils down to how many reverse split righties we have, having a lefty who is vulnerable makes your whole line up weaker in late game pinch hit scenarios. Either throw a lefty at Musial and pitch vs max stats, or throw a righty and Trout/Betts/Griffey, ect behind him get to face a righty.

Which MLB player are you talking about that shouted on a stream?
-
I think this guys a troll
-
I love the response above “these aren’t hot takes these are just false”
-
Rarly definitely needs fixed but that’s the meta they love
-
Another issue is the early or late hit and then boom homerun. That’s not how baseball works
-
Boo this man

Aldaberto Mondesi is the best card in the game
