<![CDATA[98 Cal Raleigh]]>People are hating on this card on X, but if you play on All Star or even HOF - he’s a monster.

Small sample size but in the event I have 6 hits, all homers (I think 6 for 10).

I know it’s on All Star, but I used his Live Series (even lower vision) on HOF earlier this year and still hit tanks.

Going to full contact mod him to 65 vision, 95 and 105 contacts (I think) and he’s going to be in my lineup for a very long time.

(I’m not an online legend player but neither is 99% of the community)

@Bridge-Piece_XBL I enjoyed the live series card, too.
I've got a lot of stubs (through good luck) and i wouldn't pay even half of what he's going for.
We have so many elite Catchers, some of whom are free.

I have basically every card + 1.6 mill stubs (even after getting Cal). I don’t worry too much about prices. I did flip him a few times first so essentially paid 250 for him.

Don’t sleep on Piazza this year. They seem to have fixed his swing and it’s fantastic.

They fixed it last year I think. It’s great. He just doesn’t compete with the switch hitters though unfortunately

Lots of pretty bad defense up the middle, lol.

Maybe will dh Ted Williams instead, and play Simmons in outfield with Berkman. Then will be even worse defense

It's marginally better than the early live series that people disliked.

I guess if I'd spent 300k on a card I'd want it to be the best card in the game.

He was my starting catcher for awhile and I never use live series cards. The dude was just crazy good for me. I think the Power archetype hitters are just insane - especially on All Star.

I do need a better catcher though so I might give him a try.
