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.
