Diamond Plan

[FenwayMac]

Hey all,

new to DD this year and pulled my first diamond last night in Nolan Aranedo!

At first I was excited to see my first diamond pull (out of the last months players pack), but now the reality of the situation is I have no idea what my next move is.

So, I don't (or at least have yet to) play online because of lag issues, but I figured my best bet is to plug him in until I finish up conquest. After that I plan on working on innings or historic hitters next, so he would be more expendable.

I don't know how volatile players are once they reach diamond so I am unsure whether i should just sell now and maybe grab some high gold diamond prospects instead, or keep him and see if he continues to rise or...

Your suggestions are most welcome!

Well, Nolan had a big week a couple weeks back and his overall actually went up from a 93 to a 96, I believe. He plays in a bonafide hitters park, is young, and has a spotless track record.

I would be stunned if Nolan drops out of diamond status this year, but as far as players go, he's one of the more coveted players out there. Last I checked he was going for 60k, which is a good haul.

It's really up to you. Nolan's stock probably won't fall very far this year, but if you sold him, you could certainly buy 4-6 stellar gold investments and watch them grow into diamond players themselves.

Personally, I'd sell him and buy Carlos Correa, Jose Quintana, Robby Cano/Kris Bryant, Joc Peterson and maybe like a Taijuan Walker and watch them grow.

I have him on my team and completed the Rockies set. I also pulled him out of a pack so I was psyched. I was gonna sell him but after playing a few games with him I decided to finish the set instead. He is probably the best live series 3rd baseman you can have. You can get a good amount of stubs from him or you can lock down your 3rd base position and the middle of your lineup.
