What do you do with Ohtani?

HermanSmutley · 08-29-2021, 06:14 AM

Despite his overall stats the last five weeks do not look great on paper (especially that last pitching start against Baltimore). It doesn’t look like he will reach 100 tomorrow but will he drop below 90?
Therefore the dilemma is do you sell now and collect somewhere between 4000/5000 PP or hold and hope he has a great last month?

Thanks

Why would he drop below 90? Only his hitting makes him a MVP candidate
Add to that a sub 3 ERA, 20+ sb.
His 2021 WAR 7,8
If Bellinger is 100 Ohtani should be 110.

I think he will go up, but not to perfect. The ratings updates reflect the entire body of work this season, not just this month. The current year stats just take on a bigger percentage of the overall rating as more time goes by, when compared to preseason projections.

An unexpected bonus. What with him and Buehler I was able to get Glavine, Rose and Kimbrel weeks quicker than expected.

7 Buehler, 3 Ohtani. All but three cards were from packs won in tournaments. The others were purchased for about 5000 PP each a few weeks back.

Well done. I hung onto 2 Ohtani's and a Buehler which I used to fuel my pack ripping addiction. Buehler was a safe bet should have at least bought up to 5 of 'em!

I have noticed that live diamonds seem to come in bunches when opening the packs, just got lucky it was Buehler’s turn and decided to buy a couple more.
