TA 4/Finest Predictions
-
I believe TA4 will be Finest for each team. With them starting the reveals tomorrow, I figured I’d share my predictions.
The process: I used 2.0 fWAR as the rough cutoff to receive a 99 overall (with catchers and relievers graded on a slight curve). I tried to avoid giving repeat high diamonds where I could, but it was unavoidable in some situations (I.e. Twins with Maeda/Cruz and Cardinals with Goldy). As long as the player does not already have a 99 in-game, he was eligible for a 99 Finest (eliminated Tatis, JRam). Players with high diamonds already but were their team’s clear and only 99 choice got their 99 (Lowe, Bieber, Perez, Yastrzemski).
NYY: 99 LeMahieu
TB: 99 Lowe
TOR: 98 Ryu
BOS: 98 Bogaerts
BAL: 97 IglesiasMIN: 99 Cruz
CLE: 99 Bieber
CWS: 99 Abreu
DET: 97 Candelario
KC: 99 PerezOAK: 99 Hendriks
HOU: 99 Valdez
SEA: 99 Gonzales
TEX: 97 Lynn
LAA: 99 BundyATL: 99 Freeman
MIA: 97 Rojas
PHI: 99 Realmuto
NYM: 99 deGrom
WAS: 99 SotoCHC: 99 Darvish
STL: 99 Goldschmidt
CIN: 99 Bauer
MIL: 98 Williams
PIT: 98 HayesLAD: 99 Betts
SD: 99 Lamet
SF: 99 Yastrzemski
COL: 99 Marquez
ARI: 97 GallenNot an exact science, but I think most of these make sense. We will see over the coming days!

Lamet over Machado ???

@alanthagreat1 when a team had multiple players over 2.0 fWAR I tried to tend to the players who didn’t already have a high diamond.

I'm with you and just assumed that a Machado finest for the Pads was all but a done deal. However, a Lamet 99 card would be pretty awesome to see. Throwing in triple digits with possibly an outlier also. That card could be a lot of fun.
-
As a Mets fan I would love to see a usable deGrom card but I also think Dom Smith is deserving of it since he killed it this year and doesn't have any diamond versions
-
i think that they'll wait for a few to see who gets MVP, and if Freeman gets it the finest is probably Ozuna
also where is a high diamond AJ Minter card? I would love to see one of those
-
What time is this or do we not know yet?

TA4 or awards? TA4 i think is being revealed throughout the week (not sure about the time) and awards will also be released this week

Can’t believe some people didn’t think so. There were literally no other feasible options

Agreed.

99 Stallings or I riot.

99 Soto for WAS would be surprising. He already has a FOTF card for WAS.

True. But Turner is pretty much the only other candidate and he already has a 99. Soto’s highest is his 90 overall LS

I would be more surprised if we don't get a 99 Soto.

Funny...that was my exact thought. I might rock a Tatis/machado infield.

And? They gave Posey a FOTF and a 99 right out of the gate so having a FOTF means nothing especially considering you're looking at a 10 point difference.

I didn't think about that, but that was an interesting choice...
