Want to buy cheap MLB 25 stubs and build a winning team in MLB The Show 25 without wasting resources? Early Access packs can be a goldmine, but only if you make the right selections. This guide exposes the card traps to avoid and highlights the hidden gems that can transform your squad.

Digital Deluxe Pack: Avoid the Hype, Pick Wagner

Many will be drawn to names like Derek Jeter, Hank Greenberg, and Nolan Ryan. However, these cards are designed to bait you. Jeter's defense is underwhelming, Greenberg is a first baseman in a crowded position, and Ryan's velocity is far from dominant.

The only legitimate option is Billy Wagner. His 99 velocity fastball and diverse pitch mix make him a shutdown reliever from day one. Don't be fooled by the big names; Wagner is the key to early success.

20th Anniversary Pack: The Curious Case of Ted Williams

This pack offers more intriguing choices. While Joe Mauer and Clayton Kershaw should be avoided, Ted Williams, David Wright and Vladimir Guerrero are all viable options.

• Ted Williams: Is a defensive liability in the field, but his bat more than makes up for it. He is a hitting machine!
• David Wright: Is a balanced card with good contact and solid defense.
• Vladimir Guerrero: Is a great hitter against lefties.

The 20th Anniversary pack requires careful consideration of your needs and play style.
