Diamond Dynasty Advice

I am one card away from completing the Astros collection to get Jeff Bagwell. All I need is Jose Altuve. I have $7000 in stubs right now. I also have an Adrian Beltre card. Would it be smart to sell the Beltre card to get Jose Altuve and then unlock Bagwell? I have Pablo Sandoval as my next best 3rd baseman.

All I can say is I have Sandoval as my third basemen and his defense is good. His arms a cannon from third. His hitting is soso for me .265, 5 hr & 25 rbis. He is an ok 7-8 hitter but what will piss you off I promise is how slow he is. Can't run out an infield hit to save his life. He also clogs up the base paths. He constantly anoys me with his lack of speed.

Altuve is my favourite player in this game.

Safe to say, I would have paid the entire set price just for Altuve.

Getting Bagwell as a bonus is just amazing!

Bagwell has great contact and power so that essentiall cements your 1B and 2B spots for the entire game.

As well as a perfect batter in the 1-2 spot and Bagwell is a beauty in the 3-4 spot.

Altuve has been great for me. I have he and Carew platooning at 2B and when not starting, I use him as my pinch runner. No power, but 99 contact vs. LHP and great speed. Very small strike zone too. Bagwell, on the other hand, I have not been able to hit with at all. His stance is messing up my timing.

Altuve has outperformed any other non-legend player in the game for me, including big boys like Mike Trout.

I don't think you can go wrong with completing the collection and getting them both.

Sell Beltre ASAP if you have him since his rating is going to drop soon unless his performance picks up IRL.

He's batting .194 with 2 HR and 2 HR in 72 AB

The Rangers stink again this year.

He'll still be pricey since he's needed to get Ryan

P.S. I love altuve
