You are onto something that I was wondering about. With weekly updates, this is going to be a roller coaster ride.
Will someone get an upgrade from a 3 HR game? Likewise, will a player get down graded because they get lit up or strike out 4 times?
This will lead to rampant speculation with cards jumping in value in real time as one player or another goes off.
It's going to be like the stock bubble where a stock would shoot up in value simply by being mentioned on CNBC.We are in for a wild ride.
I firmly believe a bronze/common level player cough Kyle Lewis cough could see a hefty upgrade with a great performance, but high level diamonds like the ones listed would need at least 2-3 full weeks of bad play before we see even a slight downgrade. Whereas before they would need a month+ before seeing a downgrade.
You coughed! Are you ok?
If Belli and Arenado go down, I might buy them before they go up. -

If Belli and Arenado go down, I might buy them before they go up.I do not think that SDS will intentionally wreck the market by downgrading these 2 cards. It would be a mad house if two of the "Big 7" cards get downgraded.

I dont think you are gonna see many if any big names get downgraded early. Most mentioned in this thread are notorious slow starters.

The fun/crazy part this season a slow start could bury your team.
And a hot start could get you an MVP award. -

That's a very fair assessment. Though I remember Goldschmidt being downgraded fairly early either last year or the season before.

Ohtani and Springer could go down. Gary Sanchez may drop too but i would be very surprised if he goes below silver.

Yes, but he had been struggling going back to the previous season. A lot of guys mentioned here had good seasons last year. Some great.

You had me until you said Acuña
He looked very lost the first 5-6 games but he’s coming around now and hopefully keeps trending up.
My vote goes to the Astros top 3 hitters.

Well they suck anyway so that's why I purposely didn't include them.

I'm curious as well. There are a lot of big names not doing well. Cody Bellinger is a good example. He's bummed to a 92 from a 90 with a .160 average and 2 hr. It is Belli and I know he's popular but it seems like that's all that matters is the popularity. Seems like a down grade would be necessary. Also, worried the upgrade will get overlooked due to the monthly cards. I guess I would just like to know how they break this down because it hasn't made sense to me for the last few season. Granted 2020 is wild. So..
