What player do you all think will go Diamond Today
-
I don't believe anyone goes diamond but if they do put out a token diamond upgrade it's gotta be Liam Hendricks
-
Yu Darvish
Trea Turner(longshot)
Max Fried(killing it this season but probably another longshot for a diamond upgrade) -
I’m not quite sure who I think will go diamond, but I just want to put it out there that 64 OVR Jordan Romano deserves a massive upgrade. Dude’s been lights out this year. He’s got a 0.64 ERA and 20 strikeouts in 14 innings pitched (out of the bullpen). He sits about 97-98 on the fastball, and has a wicked 92(!!!) mph slider to go along with it. Absolutely dominant stuff.
Right now, in game, he’s only got 60ish /9s. With the way he’s performed, I genuinely believe that his H/9, K/9, HR/9 and velocity should all get upgrades. Imo, if Kenley’s done well enough to go diamond, then Romano’s definitely done well enough to go silver.

They are always slow to upgrade relievers for whatever reason. It took Hader longer than he should have to have been diamond a few years ago. Felipe Vazquez, POS as he is as a person, deserved the diamond upgrade for about a year and a half before actually getting it

Dominic Smith deserves a silver to gold upgrade.
Kyle Lewis also deserves a serious upgrade. -
Sometimes I wonder if they look at the market over the past weeke and see what players were passed over the most then upgrade them. This season the upgrades seem chaotic compared to years past. Still fun trying to guess though.

That’s true. I guess it’s because relievers don’t play nearly as much as other pitchers/position players. But with a guy like Romano, you just know that his performance isn’t a fluke. He’s a completely new pitcher this year. Also, much like Hader, he’s got a very intimidating, bulldog-like presence on the mound, which is a great trait that many pitchers don’t possess.

Marte should, maybe Giolito as well! Jansen could but that blown save hurts
I have a boatload of Marte, I've been watching him and slowly picking him up over the last month. I thought he would go last week, somehow flew under the radar.

Jose abreu. He is an 81 now, leads all first baseman in defensive metrics, and has been tearing the cover off of the ball.
-
Yu Darvish and Kyle Lewis; my BIAH haul from TA3 got me very few diamonds but a zillion "Darvishi". Hoping to pay off where TA3 did not.

Nelson Cruz, Manny Machado, and Brandon Lowe would all be interesting adds past what has already been mentioned.
Jesse Winker absolutely needs to go Gold too.
Wil Myers, Teoscar Hernandez, and Kyle Lewis could be good Gold bumps as well.
Winker should go up

Matt Olson would be nice. I have like 10 of them, lol.
