Passing on Schwarbs
-
Huff, Sanchez and Bench have been too good for me behind the plate, and they have better behind the plate D and arm strength. Good time to take adv. of the Topps now prices and sell
-
You really gonna pass on them hitting stats from Schwarber ? Also his defense isn’t terrible specially ones you parallel him a bit .
-
I don't really have anyone else I want right now, probably will platoon him and Jimmie behind the dish

Probably already been mentioned, but there is a reason Schwarber is now a bad defensive LeftFielder..because he was a much-much worse defensive catcher. When the Cubs drafted him it was only for his bat.
If his card ratings..which I haven't seen..indicate even bronze at defense..it's about 3 levels too high.
I believe he's played a whole 4 games at catcher in MLB in his career. And he looked terrible.
What is wrong with the people behind these decisions and cards? It's like they purposely try to make a mockery of the game.

Because it’s a fantasy video game mode, it’s not that serious

Blame Pepe Alazar. As soon as the released him is when we started see these fantasy cards. They kind of have to now, otherwise the community would’ve said “POTM is just a bench bat wtf”

You, amigo, always help out. Thanks for the history.

The fact that you have to platoon him means he aint worth the hassle
-
I'm gonna unlock him just to stash for the big collection down the line but I can't take Carlos Santana out of my lineup right now

Wasn't really a hassle I enjoy grinding those programs

Don't know how Weiters doesn't get more love. Switch hitter with good hitting stats and the best D of any catcher. His blocking means I never have to worry about throwing waste pitches with 2 strikes to a Lofton or a Buxton. I'll put KS on the bench in case I'm down, Weiter's up, and it's a RHP.
-
Wieters >>> Schwarber and it's not really close
-
I sold off my TB cards with intent to buy back after the stub sale settles down.
Just trying to figure out where to start my Buy Orders.

Well, I’m hitting .630 with him right now through 46 at bats, it’s the moonshot event and while I expect him to come back down to reality soon he still hits the ball hard, has a nice swing and at Parallel 3 his blocking gets up to 70. Can’t ask for more for a Catcher
-
@iBonafideScrub_
I dont doubt at all that he's a beast but Carlos Santana has been one of my best hitters so until he starts slumping I just can't bring myself to bench him -

70 blocking means you take your life in your hands on 55 foot changeups with 2 strikes. I NEVER have to worry about that with Weiters. Blocking is so underrated in RS.

They say that now, even with the fantasy cards.

I was playing on VETERAN, but he cranked 3 homers for me y-day after I had a miserable debut with him. One HR was a ND off a........lefty!

This guy gets it

Schwarber is the best in the game! Hit over .600 in a 9 game on my WS run all on HOF and idk if I had one passed ball. He was fine behind the plate but that bat is something else!
