    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.

        In my limited experience with him so far, Signature Gwynn is a triples machine. Gets bat on ball frequently, has more than enough power to drive the ball into gaps, and when he does that to RCF or down the RF line it's often going to be three bases.

          *******. Really torn. Mookie is a better fielding but worse hitting and slower version of Morgan, I don't have any diamond 1B but plenty diamonds with 1B as a secondary there. I have AL East collection Bautista at first but I don't like that there's a shift on him.

          Might just flip a coin on this

          And Gwynn/Snider look good but my outfield is pretty crowded


          Took frank. Hope I don't regret this

              Morgan is a machine. Hes so good for me. I faced Thomas a few times, had no problem getting him out. Ive heard people say he has that same slow swing as previous years which kinda nerfs his abilities.

                Who did everyone take at 75? That Kershaw seems like the no brainer. But Ichiro is Ichiro and that Kemp card looks like Trout v2

                  Stick with the no brainer, Kershaw is nasty.

                    I've noticed that, had the same feeling about the Tigers Cabrera that just got released.

                    I think with Frank I'll need to be extra patient and be able to anticipate more. Like Dan said, it'll be bad if I chase too much, even within the strike zone.

                      I took Ryan and then took Kershaw the 2nd time I got that pack. If I had it to do over, I would have took Kershaw 1st.

                            Top guy I like: javvy plays as expected. Great defense and pop.
                            Johnny Damon is a tough out as he sprays the ball every
                            Cody Bellinger is my top hitter out of all my diamond even tho he is a gold. He absolutely takes.
                            I struggle with kris Bryant and I’m having a hard time find a catcher and 2b. I’m trying shy away from a RH heavy line up so any suggestions as to who I can put at 2B or C?
                            Thinking about moving Baez to 2ns and acuring mondesi the SS from royals and shopping the 87 Brandon Phillips. Also wanna catcher idea to replace an 86 mccan

                              This game has me convinced that Trevor Story is the greatest player in history. I absolutely demolish with him offensively and he's nifty with the glove to boot. There isn't anyone on my team that's particularly close in consistency either.

                              Conversely I can barely hit with Aaron Judge. His swing feels super slow and I don't square anything up with him.

                                Havent had Story this year but I recall absolutely raking with him when he was a bronze at the beginning of last year, I should probably grab him.
