2019 Player Review Thread

[DanH35]

The NL Central collection Edmonds is really good. I just got done playing a WS player that’s rated over 1000 and he had 2 no doubt homers and 2 more basehits. Even if the bring a lefty in, he has 99 contact vs left so he’s not a liability.

Also I can’t hit at all with SS Hornsby and Thomas. I might not being patient enough when they’re hitting, but both are batting in the low .200s for me.

Thought the Keith Hernandez card would be garbage but he's been really good for me, doesn't have the power but is a singles machine and his glove on defense is the best at first base that I've seen so far with the exception of Mattingly.

83 Alan Trammel has replaced Seager and Story at SS , a great lead off or 7/8 hole hitter and plays amazing on defense.

Diamond wise CarGo and Dante Bichette are amazing to use. Arenado is solid too.

84 Cecil and the Matt Belisle card from the Rockies affinity are my best pen arms. Belisle has a filthy sweeping curve.

The Team Affinity Donaldson is meh at best. Makes good contact most of the time, I personally just can’t find the gaps.

The Team Affinity Brantley is pretty good. Well-rounded Card that can occasionally hit one out.

My best card may be Jason Kendall his PCI is massive.

81 Hal Newhouser is pretty good, may upgrade to the diamond one soon but I don’t see a huge difference between the two besides some more control.

I just got the Jose Reyes, I’ll let you know how he is in a few days.

Mike Zunino stinks. He can't hit, which makes his power fraudulent

Anyone used or faced Signature Frank Thomas or Joe Morgan?

I have Morgan and really like him. If you pull it with him it's line drives for days, with surprisingly big power, while also having ridiculous speed and defence. Pretty perfect for me tbh, as he seems to have a quick swing and be better on low pitches, which is my happy zone.

Yeah that does sound good. I already have Mookie at second, thought I might take frank, but there's plenty of good 1B out there, he's probably the best all around second baseman outside of Hornsby


Really it's just do I want a Lamborghini or a high class Mercedes lol

I have Thomas and for some reason, I can’t hit at all with him. I think he has around a .225 average. Some of it is hard hit balls right at people, but there is a lot of lazy fly balls that he hits. I think it might be getting used to how much contact he has and learning to not swing at everything I can get to. I started off slow with Hornsby too, but I’ve been getting better with him, he even had 2 HR in my last RS game I played.
