Ripken, 93 Ozzie, Larkin or Crawford?

I haven't played with Ripken yet, the arm is enticing, but his reaction is suspect. Does the bat play up enough? I like an elite defensive shortstop.

I tried Simmons for a while but his bat was terrible and he made a few errant throws in the dirt. Almost seemed like his arm was too strong lol

Crawford gets to mostly everything and hit very well for me. Thinking of keeping him, but wondering if there are better options.

Haven't used the 93 Ozzie. Any analyzes on him?

Only used Larkin in BR and his defense was superb. Great range and arm. He made solid contact with doubles power.

I use Ripken, and he plays just fine at SS while hitting pretty dang good.

Larkin is a great SS for me

I'd suggest Manny Machado. He has great ratings, and the 5% drop in fielding won't be a big deal since his ratings are already all pretty high. Plus, he has a strong bat. I used the 87 version as a SS in BR and loved him there, so I'm guessing his 96 is even better.

I mean if you're doing fine with Crawford keep using him, but Ripken's reaction shouldn't be a problem I use Ernie Banks and he has the same reaction and is great.

I have Ripken but i never use him. I use Machado who is a beast.

I'm team Larkin here, but there is admittedly a Reds fan bias.

Banks is also fairly cheap if you have a few cubs and do the conquest mission for the cubs admittedly he's not Crawford defensively but not a liability at all, but a much better bat,
