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
2B- Dodger legend Trea Turner
3B- Chipper/Seager fighting for the everyday job
SS-Tatis Jr.
LF- Griffey Jr.
CF- Mays

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.
True but don't you want your absolute best defender in CF?

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'll give it try. Of course when Trout comes out that will be a whole different problem.

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.
-
Griffey Jr is the truth
-
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 SotoLefty 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.
-
There are so many good options now for every position. I feel like the only thing that is more or less universal (perhaps with a few exceptions) is the bullpen.
Correct me if you disagree or I'm I'm missing someone that needs to be listed but the best possible Bullpen of 4 LH and 4RH would probably be
RHP
Eric Gagne (Milestone)
Kenley Jansen (Milestone)
Goose Gossage (Milestone)
Mariano Rivera (Milestone)
LHP
Billy Wagner (Signature)
Andrew Miller (Signature)
Aroldis Chapman (signature)
Josh Hader (TA3)The last lefty is definitely the most debatable and everyone has their personal preferences.

I don’t like that they gave Tatis low vision. Don’t let streamers or others tell you it only matters for fouling balls off. Yes, it does give you a bigger outer ring around pci, but it also effects timing windows. I believe someone put the proof on the forum, that is when SDS confirmed it.
I’m not saying Tatis is a bad card at all, so please don’t take it that way. -
