Ortiz is still the best and no need to go away from him the rest of the season.. imo
His basically a Righty version of Ortiz with more pop vs leftys with the Lefty Pitcher meta going on that’s useful. also has Silver defense vs Ortiz Common defense I know defense isn’t a big deal at 1st base but who’s glove would you rather have over there ?. I’ve actually had a couple drop balls at 1st base with Big papi defense over there .
I always said the same thing about defense at 1B but those hard hit grounder balls late in a super close game always goes under the glove and there are a ton of straight monsters at 1B and more to come . 99 Gehrig is a given as well IMO.
99 Gehrig is making my team day 1 him or Ruth obviously . maybe they feel extra cheesy this year and give 99 Ruth Gold defense just imagine

As much as that Vlad card looks great, he won't be endgame.
-
Vlad Jr has a very mediocre swing. If you use him you are lying to yourself.

I must be the only one that can't hit a beachball with Ortiz. I have him P5 and I was hitting like .200 with him but force myself to use him to finish the parallel.
nope. i was hitting .098 at one point with him. i think he might be like .120 or something now but i switched to Thome because i couldnt take it anymore.

.Iron Horse will be my 1b for sure.

I’m probably going fielder or Murray at this point. The 92 Fielder has been great for me

Is Vladdy worth the 175,000 stubs he’s going for right now? I barely have enough to try a buy order.

Wow I hope I can master his swing. The card looks better than the Polar Bear i think at first glance.
Murray > Vlad, Alonso

It's all personal preference, but I never go all in for a player like that. I prefer to keep a healthy number of stubs available for flipping/investments. It takes money to make money. I would suggest trying to increase your stub count a bit first before buying if you would be cutting it that close, but that's just me.

I’m just worried his price will skyrocket after the new all star program comes out later today.

Pulled him out the HRD pack, stats look amazing.. I just can’t get anything going with him, I’ll stick with Ortiz and use Vlad for pinch hits and hope I figure out his swing soon

Why would it sky rocket ? What if there’s a Allstar choice back there for people to get .

His swing is just fine imo. He’s been getting insane exit velos on pretty much every ball I’ve squared up
His swing is fine and he’s hitting better than Ortiz for me.
-
I’m using his ASG 99 at 3B and he’s been great defensively so far. I have Eddie Murray at 1B. But still needing work on Vlad’s swing.

He is much better than Alonso. He's probably #1 with Ortiz and Murray right there close behind. Card rakes.
