These picks might go either way. Posey is the face of the Giants past and kind of sort of present but with that 99 card at Silver 1 I think they give some of these to either the veteran or the dominate youngsters. I personally hope Crawford is the Giants pick. The last two years have been tough with his lower rated cards. I need a good Crawford card this year!
Crawford did have a gold flashback last year. His hitting just isn’t good enough to be exciting. It could be similar to Buxton for the twins though, just at shortstop and slower.
I think Brandon belt would be a better choice, just because he’ll actually have usable offense. Sure, he’s not exactly who you think of when talking about the face of the giants franchise, but options are limited and he has been there since 2011.
That gold Crawford hit like he had 80+ in all offense stats
I liked using him, just saying I don’t think they could boost his offense enough to give him a diamond.

Crawford in 16 was my favorite card.

I wonder how much they care if there are other similar cards out there for the same player. After all, as I understand it, these cards are only available as Team Affinity rewards and are "No Sell" cards.
For the Cardinals, Molina is in real life The Face of the Franchise, probably followed by Carpenter at this stage. Goldschmidt could vie for the title when those two retire. Flaherty is a future Face of the Franchise if he keeps up his dominance.
-
For the Cards, I hope it’s DeJong, I’ve always hit well with him. I doubt it’s Flaherty since his live series is a diamond.

2016 Seager is the best baseball card to ever come out in mlb the show

Yankees: Dr. James Andrews

It looks like there's going to be 4 per team, spread out across all 4 seasons. The ones available at launch are probably players that are older and falling off or younger guys that they think could move up to diamond. Soto, for instance, makes sense as an early pick for the Nats because there's a good chance that he'll be a diamond at some point during the season. They don't want to release an 89 overall card in August. On the flip side of that, those later season cards could be a suped up Trout/Yelich/Arenado. This could be their way of making room for more legends in the Program cards.
My main question is whether these Face of the Franchise players are going to only be current players or if they'll put Legends in as well. How many modern players could be considered for the Orioles currently?

That or they put other cards in there, this might end up being how we get voted finest cards
I was also thinking the spring set could be diamond prospect cards

They said spring/summer/fall won't be face of the franchise
