Honestly, I thought this was a no-brainer when they revealed the cards but after doing the 4th Inning Showdown and having Ellsbury just destroy it all the way through and make the Showdown itself so easy, I'm just going to buy Felix off the market tomorrow and use my pick on Ellsbury when I get to 300 stars. I'm currently at 198, and that's without getting the 10 Ranked Seasons wins and the stat mission for Future Stars.
Oh, and this is probably the most crucial part of what I'm telling you... I have the Live Series collection done, own Reggie Jackson and the Headliner Matt Kemp and I'm still prioritizing getting Jacoby Ellsbury on my team.
Ellsbury will no doubt be a bench piece on my team but I feel like he's almost essential as that smooth-swinging righty killer with elite speed and stealing ability. I was someone who laughed off the thought of this card over Felix not long ago.
That said, I should also say that I haven't used the Felix yet. But if I'm going off of what his Signature Series was like last year, he's going to be in my rotation all year.
