In this inaugural edition of the Friday Fast Five, Coop runs down the FIVE MOST IMPORTANT COMMODITIES to get for your diamond dynasty team in the first week.

Franchise players of MLB The Show have felt little love over the past few years as Diamond Dynasty has surged in popularity.

Because of this, some of them have felt neglected. Recently, they took to various message boards to express their frustration. That didn't go well.

We discuss their dilemma, whether it's reasonable or not, and also attempt to have a larger conversation about criticism and having a moral code.

In addition, Coop & The Weasel discuss the video game industry and why you can't just return "broken" games.

Coop & The Weasel discuss the new Diamond Dynasty decision to make your pitcher's hand a mystery to your opponent. Is this a fair and reasonable way to thwart the players who constantly back out of games if the matchup isn't to their liking, or was there another option?

The guys also break down their excitement for the latest legends announced in MLB The Show 17- Jorge Posada, Jim Palmer, Eric Karros, and Harold Reynolds!

Coop & The Weasel go deep on LEGEND talk!

Who were their favorite legends to play with? Who were their least favorite legends to play with?

Who are their top 3 wish-list legends and why do message board wish-lists often have unrealistic expectations?

Also, the guys break down how excited they are to play with CONFIRMED LEGENDS as of 2/23: Johnny Damon, Warren Spahn, Luis Apacicio, Jason Giambi, Wade Boggs, and more!

The Weasel explains how he made over 350k in stub money for MLB The Show 16.

By the end of his investing, Th Weasel had an all diamond team, largely constructed by peering into his crystal ball and diligently following the real time careers of guys like Wilson Ramos, Justin Verlander, and Jean Segura.

Coop also loses his mind over what he believes was the most egregiously incorrect player rating in 2016, and the guys debate whether or not the developers held out on boosting guys like Mark Trumbo.

Plus, what players do Coop & The Weasel think you should watch closely in 2017 for major upgrades that could net you big stub money? They discuss.

Coop and The Weasel explain what is the most important tip to getting better at MLB The Show. It's the exact tip that allowed Coop to go from the CS division into the hallowed WS division, eventually rising to top 30 in Diamond Dynasty.

It might be cliche, it might be on the nose, but this will specifically help you hit those high inside fastballs.
