Re: Who has been your suprise stand out?
3 flashbacks come to mind
1.) Nick Swisher- I started him for a while & he was great! Solid defense & seems to hit everything hard. When I completed the innings grind for Gwynn, I moved him to the bench & he is MONEY as a pinch hitter! over the past couple days, he's 6 for 8 as a pinch hitter with 3 HRs & 2 doubles.
2.) Jarrod Saltalamacchia- He can flat out crush righties. 80 contact vs., R & 88 pwr vs. R & 85 ovr fielding makes him a staple behind the plate vs RHP.
3.) Yasmani Grandal- Salty is great against righties, but not so hot against lefties, so I needed my back up catcher to be able to rake lefties. IMO, he plays above his 79 con vs. L & 81 pwr vs. L ratings. He's almost as effective vs lefties as Salty is vs righties. His defensive stats are not too hot, but I have yet to have a problem with him behind the plate.
All three can be had CHEAP since all they require are completions of the 25 man rosters for there respective teams. I just put in cheap buy offers and waited. The most I spent on any of them was Salty at about 650 stubs, but you get 250 back when you redeem the rewards. All together, I have under 1k in all three and gained 15k xp.
