MLB 15 The Show: Diamond Dynasty Ratings Boost Predictions (5/31/15)

Kyle Gibson should not get a boost at all. I really hope someone at that company understands sabermetrics.

I don't like to invest in cards really. I find I make more money just buying cards and selling them within the next hour, but I understand the reasoning behind investing in cards.

You make more if you're good at picking, and you don't have to constantly create orders.

This is actually a fair point. He has a 4.40 FIP and the peripherals are about where they were last year. I'll say "my bad" on this selection. I've just noticed he's been around 2.5 ERA all year so far.

As long as they leave Tulo alone I'll be happy with any changes...I got him a day before his first downgrade and I'm crushing it with him, .350 with 11 Homers and almost 25 rbis in less than 20 games

He is a beast. Wouldn't be surprised if Cano drops

[VowedVengeance]

Drop him all you want, I love my leadoff combo of Altuve and Gordon. Just can't see myself going back to banks. I was barely hitting 200 with him after 30 games.

I could see them dropping Cano to gold while raising Cruz to diamond.

I know the guys who think they're good at picking make plenty of stubs, but those who simply flip cards make equally or more. They wouldn't have teams stacked with Trouts and McCutchens with every collection completed and hundreds of thousands of stubs sitting in their account if they didn't.

I've tried the various methods and nothing worked better and faster than simply putting in buy orders, then putting the same cards up for sell orders. Not only does it accumulate a lot of stubs, but those stubs are available to spend immediately. Investing can take weeks, meanwhile you don't buy that player you want because you have your stubs invested in 15 copies of Kluber waiting for him to go diamond.
