    Tatis is light years ahead of Franco. Soto is probably the best right fielder as well.

    Soto is too slow for me to put in the OF. He is probably the best bench bat though. The defense is definitely better than last year; and I think the hitting is either the same or close. I didn’t check the attributes of last year’s.

    His reaction makes up for the speed. His bat is definitely worth it bro

    I will definitely try him out there. I am always up for trying new cards out. There are so many outfielders, I might as well try all I can. His hitting attributes are great and I know he has a great swing.

    My current lineup. I would also add my personal preference is speed, power, position versatility and defense in that order. I also like a good balance of lefties and righties in my lineup, so switch hitters are the best of both worlds.

    Tatis SS - no debate here
    Griffey LF- maybe the most balanced card in the game. If you want a true LF go with Oneil or Hank
    Mays CF- his defense is a difference maker
    Mantle- RF- I like his speed and switch hitting. That gives him the advantage over many of the guys. Although Acuna is still glitchy
    Ruth 1b- Tons of guys Ortiz, Votto, Frank, Vlad Jr, FInest Freeman, Finest Muncy, Prince I still like Ruth.
    Chipper 3b- Again switch hitter solid defense, really no holes in his game. Im actually playing Finest Freeman here with Chipper on the bench.
    Mookie- 2b- he does it all. Ive tried all others, always come back to Mookie
    Foxx C- best offensively but out of position. Same applies to Schwarber. Perez is also nice, but soooo slow, same with Posey. Adley just did not have any pop for me. JT is probably the most balanced from a power, speed, defense point of view.

    Jackie, Turner and Wagner still great bench guys, with position versatility and speed. Vlad Sr. and Hank are also solid options in the OF. I really like speed in my OF though, Oneil is also a great choice. Muncy is a dark horse if you like his swing and he has positon flexibility.

    Mantle in center with Mays in right is the move. Mantle is only diamond defense in center (Parallel 3) where Mays is Diamond in any of his positions.

    I don’t have the 99 Griffey yet but I had the one below it and used it today. Juniior hit a homer and made a defensive gem of a ball that might have been a home run. Just saying you don’t always need the latest card.

    This weekend I'm gonna do a massive sell off of everything I don't have locked in and build the best possible god squad I can come up with. Here's my current lineup:

    C Jimmie Fox
    1B Babe Ruth
    2B Jackie Robinson
    3B Chipper Jones
    SS Honus Wagner
    OF: Hank Aaron, Mickey Mantle, Willy Mays

    Now here's every 99 hitter card in the game that I don't currently own: Francisco Lindor, Nolan Arenado, Stan Musial, Josh Donaldson, Johnny Bench, Cody Bellinger, Bryce Harper, Todd Helton, Larry Walker, Al Kaline, Ralph Kiner, Rickey Henderson, Eric Davis, Lou Gherig

    Are any of those guys a noticeable upgrade over what I already have?

    Upgrade??? Hard to say....there are a lot of great players listed but your team can be argued against any of them. Personally I prefer Lindor at SS bhecause he's a switch hitter though Honus has better speed.

    Rickey and Davis are hitting, stealing and scoring machines but your outfield is very versatile. I also love Yelich our there for his quick bay and lightning speed. Not IRL anymore but his 99 is pretty amazing.

    2B being Trea Turner? OP knows what he's talking about, 2nd best card in the game.

    I’m hitting .404 with his card online, the card is just unreal, when Trout forces me to move Mookie to 2B then I will be moving Trea to 3rd and Chipper to the bench. Unless I start to suck with Mays out of nowhere

    I’m running

    C- Realmuto
    1B- Babe (Freddie, Foxx or Giambi) will fight for the position. I can’t hit with Babe

    3B- Chipper/Seager fighting for the everyday job
    SS-Tatis Jr.
    LF- Griffey Jr.
    CF- Mays
    RF- Mookie

    Bench: Foxx, Soto, Yelich, Honus, Ketel

    Theoretically yes. But the difference in gaining a couple speed points in center is far less noticeable than maintaining diamond animations at all outfield positions. It's not like one is drastically worse in centre than the other, but one is drastically worse in the corner.

    Except he doesn't have Trea's swing. Which is probably the best in the game besides maybe Mantle and Chipper.

    Trae has a great swing for sure, but so does Morgan as long as him crowding the plate doesn't mess with you. Agree on chipper but I'd put him trout Tatis and Soto in a higher tier to mantle's swing by a decent amount personally. That's where this game can stay interesting though, different cards work for different people, just don't see much love for Joe so I threw it out there.

    Ps awards Trevor Story still my SS in any crucial game I play. Still a monster

    I'm burying head in the sand and not worrying about that until the time comes. Hopefully he has 3rd base as a secondary. For whatever reason.

    Lindor is better than Franco. Tatis is the best SS, then Lindor, then Tre.

    OF has too many to name -- it all comes down to personal preference.

    1B is Ruth & Frank, depending on which handedness you prefer. Or platoon.

    2B is Mookie, especially since there are 1000 OF options.

    3B is still Chipper. Though I love the PS Devers.

    C for me is Adley.

    Well said man. Agree across the board. Even with all the new cards I can’t seem to take Lindor out at SS or Betts at 2B. Benching Morgan hurt but Mookie had to leave the outfield. Devers is my 3B. Swing is butter. C though for me is still Kyle

    Why does no one play Gehrig at first? I love his card. Still running Jackie at Second but one of these new Finest may supplant him there. Play Tatis at short and Chipper is still at 3rd for me. I play Rosario in LF, Mantle in CF and I play Ruth in RF. My catcher is currently Piazza but just got Fox so may change that up.

    C- Jimmie Fox
    1st - Babe Ruth
    2nd - Corey Seager
    3rd - Freddie Freeman ( ill bring in chipper for the occasional lefty)
    Short - Tatis
    Left - Griffey Jr
    Center - Micky
    Right - Juan Soto

    Lefty heavy lineup since every meta pitcher is a righty, just have righties on the bench

    Makes sense. But I find it harder to hit opposite handedness now -- all the fb and sliders jamming inside. Easier for me to read sliders as a righty now than as a lefty.
