    I'm a fan of Lorenzo Cain leading off. He has speed and can get ahold of one every once in awhile. Also, lead off triples are great. [emoji3]

      I love Ichiro but I'm having no success with Crawford at all. Wish I never completed the collection.

        Dee Gordon has to be the hands down best lead off hitter in the game, but as OP mentioned the price point this early in the year is a deterrence. I'm sure as the year goes on and I build my stub stack ill snag him, but for now it's Rookie Altuve vs lefties and Ellsbury vs righties.

          Yeah the whole Dee vs Altuve price different of about Altuve being double what Dee Gordon cost. I guess it comes down to how much of a difference is 92 vision vs 72 vision that's a big difference. Dee Gordon makes a case his lefty and how much of a difference is 98 speed vs 93 speed wich is not that big a difference. I wonder how many people have had more success with eather or.

            Left handed hitters have a HUUUUUUUUGE advantage online.

                Meant Gordon has the advantage over Altuve at hitting. Most of the SPs, at least elite hard throwing ones, are right handed, thus making left handed hitters far more valuable than right handed hitters.

                But yes, Altuve does rake vs LHP.

                  I think the price difference is huge u can buy Dee Gordon and a solid pitcher soon to be diamond like potentialy Noah syndergaard for the same price of Altuve. I'm contemplating selling Altuve and doing this my pitching needs improving!!

                    Altuve is only as expensive as he is because he's one of a couple cards in the Astros collection that cost something to end up with 95 Nolan Ryan. As Correa goes up in rating/price, Altuve will go down slightly.

                      I was lucky to get ichiro before they fixed the inning glitch and also have crawford. Thinking about putting crawford 9th not sure if i want em has a 2 hitter. One question i do have is if i play for longoria at 3rd does it affect his fielding alot?

                        I want that Ichiro so bad, Crawford looks like the perfect 2 hole hitter stats wise. Im thinking about getting him to be my leadoff hitter till I can get Ichiro now.

                          I wonder how good that Nolan Ryan is his control is pretty bad.

                            Billy Burns isn't bad for anyone on a budget, I've been switching between him and Omar Infante.

                                I have him hitting behind Billy Hamilton. Love the speed in the outfield, with the chance of turning a single into an easy double with a ball barely in the gap.
