I have never been able to hit with Chipper. I would guess that he’s the 2nd most popular legend in the game (after Griffey), but I have given up trying with him. To be fair, I think basically everyone else absolutely rakes with him, so it’s probably best to disregard my experience.
That said, my order will still go Babe then Chipper then Pedro. I love Pedro, but I play almost exclusively offline where using the “meta” pitcher is irrelevant. There are always way more pitchers than I have time to use, and I typically only end up focusing on a relatively small pool of pitchers I really click with.
I’ve already got a 99 Brooks Robinson, who is always one of my favorite cards (and when he’s paired with the 99 George Brett, you’ve got a pretty scary platoon!). So, my 3B looks good and I’m in no rush to unlock multiple rewards from Set 1.
(And, if we’re being super-duper cards-face-up-on-the-table honest… I really don’t even care about Ruth all that much. He’s always got a spot on my old guys theme team, of course, but only as a bench piece. His speed and defense keep him out of the outfield. So, at best, he is going to be a DH on a very specific type of theme team for me.)
Hats off to SDS for giving us 3 incredibly popular cards right up front. They wouldn’t be the 3 that I would choose, but I applaud their goal to satisfy the largest number of people possible.
I don’t rake with chipper, but Larkin RIPS!. Another thing to factor in is who you are willing to wildcard once set 1 is out of online rotation.
Larkin. Rips. Agreed!
But when it comes to shortstops, I just can’t (and won’t) quit Robin Yount. Great bat. Decent pop. Devastatingly handsome mustache. Rugged acne scarring that runs deeper than the Congo. Very reliable glove. Unkempt mullet that looks like tangled up seaweed and algae. Now THAT’S a shortstop.
But now we have a DH so you can have the best of both worlds
