As you get to the higher levels (I’m not sure where you are) only the very elite base stealers have a favourable SB% (75% or higher, and most people want even higher). Utley has insane SB numbers because he has literally the top of scale SB Abiluty ratings and with a mid-level SB aggressiveness, which is really a LOT more optimal than guys with really high aggressiveness (and you NEVER want a guy in there with a higher aggressiveness than ability).
Aparicio is a decent but not great base stealers (at the better tiers of PT) and more importantly he won’t get on base enough to even the the chances to fail.
So basically with Aparicio you’re putting a guy out there that’s a just a handful of weak singles, no walks and a a few steals (with a good glove).
Any player that plays this game at a high level (whale or not) will tell you that Aparicio is one of the worst “perfects” released in the second half of the content cycle and far worse than Appling. That said compared to the best SS’s in the game neither of them really stack up. (I understand your self imposed handcuffs).
Also, not that it’s anyone’s business, but I’m FAR from a whale this year… I’m not sure I’d even qualify as a minnow  |
Why you wonder i'm handcuffed when I'm playing the way i want to play. Nothing in the rules of OOTP says I have to play just like everyone else. Use one of your other accounts, pick you favorite team & use just that teams cards. This is the 1st year I've done it & it's the most enjoyment I've had since PT has came out. See, I'm not just a 4/5 year fan of the big bad hottest team to win. I've been a real hardcore fan of the White Sox since I was 11/12 years old. I'm 65 now. Through more thin than thick I've never change my alliance to another team. May sound silly but it just might be me. In the 1st 5 years, Aparico has averaged 71 steals a year. Not too shabby & a career .305 BA . I just don't concern myself of keeping up with the Joneses.......Mister Jones.
