I sneak Gehrig and Evo Giambi over there as well... its hard to imagine, but I'm a Yankee fan, shocker, I know.

That 42 Dom Smith smashes everything for me so it's hard to get away from him right now and I'm nowhere close to Ortiz and won't be for most of the game's life.

Why are you looking for another 1b instead of Papi? If you do care about Def then Olson is your guy. Has pop and defense. Plays like a 95 but has stats of an 85.

Im sure he doesnt have him and everyone would say ortiz

It’s the vision for me. Plus he rakes against righties, which are very common at the moment.

I usually switch him to the OF as a pseudo defensive replacement for Soto/Doby late in the game. I do plan on replacing him with Thome once I grind some more TA2

Well I have Ortiz and he is well worth it. But Freeman is great. Only reason Freddie is not at 3rd is Chipper and I have Tatis at SS. Bellinger was solid for a while plus he is not slow. PoTM Vlad is another solid option but I have a thing against reverse split cards.

I'm not a fan of reverse split players either.

I put Thome there, and he's batting like .450 (and pretty much all of his hits are homers, and they happen often).

Before I got Big Papi (and put him in a Yankees uniform... it's a beautiful sight), I was running a platoon with Babe and Frank Thomas and could count on at least one homer per RS game from either of them.

No!!!! Just no!!! I’m a yankees fan with ptsd. Every year papi has a great card but I’d never know. I refuse to use him!

He's been parallel 5 for weeks now which helps.
There are guys I can really hit well with and some I can't so much and I just hit great with him vs. LH and RH. He has the lowest OVR rating on my team even with the +5 boost.
But he has the highest BA on my team which includes Trout and a bunch of mid to hi 90's stars at every position.
Hits HRs too lol.
