5 tool lineup
-
Playing around today with the idea of a five tool lineup at each position. I don’t have the new trout, but do have every other elite card. Put together the following lineup:
SS - finest tatis
2B - AS turner
RF - milestone griffey
CF - milestone mays
LF - AS acuna
3B - awards chipper
1B - 42 jackie
C - milestone biggioBench:
C - future rutschman
SS - prime wagner
LF - milestone brock
RF - finest soto
CF - awards mantleAny thoughts on who you would personally swap? I feel like the acuna and wagner options would be questioned, but I’ve crushed with acuna and wagner would just have the all around capability (though the point of the 5 took idea is that you wouldn’t need to sub anyone).
-
I love the Acuna card so no arguments from me. I never really think to play Biggio at C. Good call.
You could also use:
MS Hank Aaron
Signature Vlad Sr.
Finest Marcus Semien- he has speed right?
Awards Larry Walker -

Hard to sell Turner as 5-tool due to the defense. I’d get Mookie and Trout in there.

Soto has no speed....
-
Mine would be:
C - Milestone Biggio
1B - Milestone Mays
2B - Awards Betts
3B - Awards Chipper
SS - Finest Tatis Jr.
LF - Finest Trout
CF - Awards Mantle
RF - Milestone GriffeyBench:
Milestone Aaron
Finest Ketel Marte
Finest Reynolds
Prime Wagner
Finest TuckerMay as well throw 99 Ohtani in at SP for good measure too

This is so interesting from a 5-tool standpoint. You could absolutely argue many of your guys don't fit 5 tools. Also, at this point, isn't a 5-tool lineup basically a God Squad lineup anyway?

Definitely the most suspect on D….buuut, imma nats fan and this card was just absolutely automatic for me. Could never get it going with mookie. Debated about the Soriano card here at 2nd as well.

Soto has no speed....
Yeah, he got a spot on the bench because of nats fandom and lefty power. Got his finest card to P4 currently so grinding away.

“Many”….certainly turner (defense is weak) and Soto (d + speed), but curious who else do you think doesn’t fit?
And yes, definitely a god squad, but I think positionally I’d find alternates for my own personal god squad. Plenty of monsters at 1st (waiting to get the pujols), catcher could change, acuna could swap as well.
And this was just a lazy day fiddling trying to find a new theme team squad to run with for a while.

I have his Finest card in mine as well. Card is obscene! I just got it to P3. Just saying he's not all 5 tools.

Have you tried the Blackmon Lightning card yet? 5 tool card and a great swing.

Starling Marte Finest is another solid option here. Not insane power but serviceable, amazing contact, speed, defense and arm.
-
I dont think Chipper has the speed to be considered a tool. Probably not power with Biggio and Jackie. But maybe close enough. Probably have to go with Biggio at Catcher. Here is mine.
LF- MS Soriano
CF- MS Mays
RF- MS Griffey
3B- AS Trea Turner
SS- Finest Tatis
2B- Finest Semien
1B- Prime H Wagner
C- MS BiggioBench:
Awards- Mantle
POTM- T Oneill
MS- Larkin
POTM- Buxton
MS- AaronPlenty of OF options.
Maybe swap Hank Aaron and H Wagner at first base to make it more of a power tool as Wagner is only around 90. -
