Mike Schmidt worth it?

[GiantsMLB]

I already have Brett and was thinking of getting Schmidt but he's always been an easy out for me and everyone I have seen with him has struggled with him, should I get him or should I just get Miggy?

Obviously it depends on who's using him. A good player with Schmidt can tee off HRs all day. If you suck hitting righties with righties, Schmidt isn't going to magically make you good.

Schmidt has been awful for me. He has 7 cold zones. Plus, his vision is low and he strikes out so much. I think I have struck out 100+ times with him in like 75 games. He is amazing in the field though.

Even some of the higher ranked players struggle with him. He is solid, but I think for how much he costs and how much most people struggle with him at the plate that you could spend your stubs on something more valuable such as Tulo, Trout, Yogi, Cutch, Harper, Kaline, Seaver, Ryan, etc.

Same. He's a beast defensively but I can't hit a lick with him. I'm talking sub 100. I have one homer though. I've given up on him and really regret completing that collection.

His closed stance is unique and you seem to not get as good a look as you would with players with normal or open stances. That being said, I try to drive everything to opposite center field with him. Don't know how many times I've stayed back on pitches and ended up curling them around the left field foul pole.

I'll get in some stretches, where he'll get hot and drive the ball. But more often than not, I have a tough time hitting consistently with him. After around 250 games, he's hitting just under .240 with 43 HR's and a boat load of K's. The reason I keep him in, is for his defensive game. I could try Brooks Robinson for defense, but I like having Schmidt's power to go along with the glove and arm.

Arenado is basically Ozzie Smith at 3B with power.
