My Rankings of Team Affinity Season 3
-
This is all nice and dandy but the list should change depending on difficulty you’re playing on. I know for myself there’s a bunch on cards I’d play on AS but wouldn’t dare use in higher difficulties
-
@Lord_Blumpkin35 I hear you. Castellanos bat is dope but I play him with that defense. That’s why I’m sticking it out with judge. 90 fielding 99 arm plus his hitting stats. I gotta learn to hit with him lol
-
I am currently enjoying Adolis' power & speed ... fun card!
-
I just completed the Ohtani collection so head is spinning bc I have so many new cards to figure out who i can actually use. I value speed in outfield but most of these TA3 cards are poor defense in outfield. Turner and Degrom are must starts
-
I think Rafael Devers deserves a lot more love than this. I have all 30 players and I've found the most success with Devers by a long shot.

yup he's a great platoon for 1b or 3b.
i did hit a contact homer with him against LHP Soto
-
I’d rank Castellanos, Devers and Hader higher. But great job.

Degrom
Castellanos
Turner
Reyes
Walsh(bench)Probably my top 5 with Walsh also as a bench bat but slightly different order.
DeGrom
Turner
Reyes
Castellanos
Walsh -
I love the missions this round as well. I did the card collection and only the first exchange for each division, then I promptly finished NL East in 4 PvCPU games. Easiest TA ever!
-
That realmuto card is legit. I am sad I have to bench Carlos Santana, but I think I’m going to have Kyle start and platoon JT against a lefty and as a D replacement for late game.

This is extremely poor logic. You want to platoon JT against his worst splits? Not to mention Kyle’s numbers vs lefties are better than JTs.
If you want to platoon a catcher vs lefties, why wouldn’t you go with Perez or Zunino? Both are maxed out vs lefties

I currently can't figure out who I want as my bench C - AS Salvy or AS JT. I like Salvy a little better hitting wise, but the BIG plus with JT is the 70+ speed from the C spot.
-
I think for everyone it comes down to how well you do with certain swings. Normally I would agree on Olsonbut Im using Devers at first and love his swing. I know he looks bad against lefties but I usually platoon at first base so I will probably platoon Salvy or Castellanos and Devers at first for a while. Ill be interested to see what Gehrig looks like who I normally love but I doubt his attributes will match any of the first base options released in TA3.
-
Nice write up OP. I enjoyed reading this. Escobar is this seasons Mauricio. Will get on base a ton but when you look at his card you don’t think wow so people with all the cards will find 20 ways for him not to be in the lineup and people without all the top cards won’t see him used a lot so he will be way underused.

I normally can't hit with Trea Turner cards, i don't know what it is I just can't. That said 1st at bat with the new card and second pitch bang 450 foot homerun to the top seats in left center of Target field, i just sat there stunned that i had done that lol. He's a beast and may challenge for SS on my team now.
Who is your current starting shortstop?
-
The more I play with Castellanos, the more I like him. I think if I could make one change, I would swap Matt Olson at #4 with Nicholas Castellanos at #8. I've had some struggles with Olson today.

I think out of all the hitters, I've used him the least. I'm excited to see more of him since everyone seems to love his card.

You are right. JT gets the nod

I'm running J.T. Realmuto vs. RHP and Matt Wieters vs. LHP.
I suspect that I'll never stop using Wieters -- just as I didn't stop last year. I don't know what it is about that card but it plays much better than the ratings suggest -- especially at the plate. As a matter of fact, I had an awful game in Ranked Seasons last night where I couldn't hit Cliff Lee to save my life (honestly, it was a pretty laggy game too) and the only player who got a single hit, let alone two, was Matt Wieters.

Thanks, man. I appreciate that.And you're totally right about Eduardo Escobar. I got a chance to use him outside of Showdown and the card is still legit. It's funny you mention the Ronny Mauricio card, as he was someone who I used off the bench as a pinch-hitter regularly until the TA3 cards came out. All both of those cards do is rake.
