Re: Is Jose Altuve worth 15000?

If you're interested in Altuve, you should go ahead and buy him now while he's still in the special packs and is way undervalued. Then use him for the rest of the weekend. If you like him, keep him. If not, sell him next week and make a nice profit when his card returns to its proper value.

He's currently the best 2B in the game against lefties, but because LHP are so rare online, he doesn't get much use for me aside from pinch-running opportunities and pinch-hitting against the occasional person who has a LHP coming out of their bullpen.

Yeah, I have been platooning Carew/Altuve for a while now and am happy with the results.

Even in games where a RHP starts and I use Carew, I pretty much bring in Altuve every game at some point.

Re: Is Jose Altuve worth 15000?

Altuve and Carew are the best lead off hitters in Diamond Dynasty.

Back when I didn't have Carew and just started Altuve every game against any pitcher, he easily was the best hitter on my team. After 30 games, his batting average was like .375 and his OBP .460.

He doesn't really have HR power but he feels like he's always on base for me from singles and doubles.

Thanks for the info. I picked him up and in his first game he was 2-4.

Re: Is Jose Altuve worth 15000?

I can't hit with him personally. I make contact every at bat but it's exclusively pop outs. I packed Cano and love him. I hit so many bombs with him. He's better against rhp than altuve is against lhp because of the power. But yes buy altuve now because he's only gonna increase once the special packs are gone. I bought him for 24k because I thought he'd get back to 40 but that hasn't worked out too well for me lol. At this point he's a bond more than a stock lol I'll be happy to get my 24k back.

Re: Is Jose Altuve worth 15000?

What funny to me is I pulled him in a standard the night before the crash and was debating on selling him or not bc at the time I platooned carew and padroia. Now I switched out padoia for altuve but I may stick padoia back in bc late in games I like to put my best defense out there. I.E. Padoia at 2nd and swap lofton in for Ted Williams. I still may sell him but not until his price is back over 20k or if he goes diamond bc I like padroias D better plus I don't really need bagwell bc I got goldschmidt at first.
