Who is the second baseman(2B) goat?

suhoonlee · 08-25-2023, 04:45 AM

I am currently using Perfect Jackie Robinson.
Jackie is good at defense, but has poor hitting stats.
I want to hire a second baseman who can both defend and hit.
give me a recommendation
Please, brothers.

The new immortal Joe Morgan card looks pretty dominant, but it still costs a lot (500k last I checked) and there's no guarantee you'd get it by completing the immortal missions

Then there's also the limited edition Ryne Sandberg which would probably be an upgrade on jackie robinson, but he's pretty expensive*too and probably always will be since there's only 100 of them

The other newer 2B is Larry Doby but he's not really an upgrade on the perfect Jackie Robinson, I suppose you could try platooning the two of them

2B that can hit and field are rare in real life, so it's Jackie Robinson or worse. Rogers Hornsby was the 2B goat was last year, but it came out very late in the game cycle, with a better bat, but weaker defense than the current Jackie. Unless they release a future legend card with fantasy ratings, there is no such thing as a 2B that can hit and field.

I have a limited edition Chase Utley (17 of 25). Just debating selling for $185k and replacing with Volpe...what do you think?

What are you waiting for? Both cards look the same to me.

Volpe is low defending stats

FWIW, in my 2 diamond leagues of the 12 first place teams 10 use Robinson. The other starters are Henderson (!) and Sandberg with Robinson as backup.

Here are the other backups:

Zobrist 3
Volpe 3
Phillips 2 (my choice, but I'm not in first place)
Ramirez 1
Semien 1
Jordan Walker 1 (!)
