Walter Johnson will be a boss

I think it's Bert Blyleven.

Goose makes sense but completely throws the “not reusing inning bosses from last year” thing out the window. Walter Johnson(or Blyleven I suppose) makes more sense to me
Wasn't 99 Goose the reward for Moments Extreme last year????

These bosses if our guesses (Harper, Thomas, Johnson) are right are underwhelming at best, considering all of the recent content/bosses.
Harper/Thomas - 1B and RF are two of the deepest positions we have. Will Thomas be good enough to replace Babe or Musial?
I am not sure. Will Harper replace Walker? Maybe, but it will come down to the ratings. I was thinking about putting
Babe in RF (I only need to finish the AS NL Games) and keep Stan on the Bench. Walker has become a bench bat,
Defensive replacement.
Johnson is DOA for me if he is a boss. There is a glut of great obtainable pitchers (Orel and Maddux) as well as high end cards like Sale.
Besides, I have never met anyone that was excited about the Big Train and his windup motion.Gossage might be the pick. Now that one seems interesting and could be at worst your setup man.
I agree, but I’m picking and using Johnson anyways. As a baseball history nut of the early periods he’s one of my favorite pitchers of all time.

Yes but his 95 was a boss in the first inning.

Yeah but the 95 Goose was a first inning boss. They haven’t even reused the Better versions of the 2019 inning bosses in an inning program either(95 Goose, 96 Cy Young, 93? Andrew Jones, 93 Miggy, 93 Vlad)

I actually intentionally walk the first batter of each inning with Walter Johnson to avoid his windup. Otherwise he is a monster.

Blyleven’s motion brings his hands way above his head, and he wouldn’t be wearing the senators pinstripes.

A poster on reddit found this tid bit on the 2nd boss clue that heavily suggests its Harper. What do you guys think?

That might work against the CPU, but you are asking for trouble online with this approach.
Leadoff walks have a way of biting you in the a$$. -

He was the easiest to hit in the game last year. Everything is straight as an arrow. I hope it's him, my BA could use a boost.

Right now if it's Johnson and/or Harper I am for sure selling. Don't care for either.
-
That would suck and possible ruin my investment in the 6th inning players. Many players, including myself, would have no interest in these guys with the recent content released.
Would have been a good time for a new 3rd baseman or MI or even catcher.

Exactly... the 1st inning Goose from 19 wasn't the best one.

The Twins wore pinstripes in 1987 season

Same and this is exactly why I will absolutely not pick him, I'm not pulling that [censored] online

People were saying that Musial was the worst option out of the 3 before they dropped those attributes. I would reserve judgement until the attributes of all are released. I'm sure they will overpower Frank or Harper just to get interest up.

Yes but if they have it as a sig card or a awards card it technically wont be the same boss as his sig card was a reward for moments extreme

Right, but they haven’t used Cy Young, Andrew Jones, Miggy, Or Vlads high versions as inning bosses either. A thing to consider is to be the jersey in the teaser looks more twins cream color than Yankee White too. You all guessing Goose is just setting yourselves up for disappointment yet again.

My favorite player of all time! Even if he’s not meta, there’s a few of us out there who are excited for the Big Train.

Leadoff walks have a way of biting you in the a$$.I play for hitting stats/prestige obsessed. So giving up runs doesn't bother me
