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
So far so good. ! Cruz is a finest confirmed

DeGrom, Soto, Realmuto, Cole/DJ, Darvish, Bauer, Teoscar, Glasnow/Lowe, Bogaerts, Nelson Cruz
For the ones that had two: I would say Cole, due to DJ having a high diamond that wasn't LS.
I would say Glasnow because Lowe has a POTM card. -

I would say Glasnow because Lowe has a POTM card.I think the Yankees will be Luke Voit and Tampa will be Blake Snell.

I didn't think about them! Snell I agree, but not sure about Voit…. He has a POTM, but he will probs get it anyway.

Gerrit Cole will be the Yankees Finest.

I'm curious how conquest is going tie in with TA4. Didn't they say on the last stream that conquest was going to be a big part?

I’ve heard people say that. I really hope not. I think conquest is mind-numbingly boring. I hope showdown is still an option. And exchange of course.

I don't mind conquest, but agree I'd rather just do the exchanges. I'm wondering if some of the better Finest, guys like Freeman, Machado, Soto and so on will be tied to the map. I don't know how it would make sense, but like for the Braves I could see Ozuna getting the regular Finest and Freeman being a card you have to grind for.
I'm probably wrong, but it has me wondering.

99 Marquez is a good bet. I'd rather have a 99 Freeland or Bard though tbh

I hate Freeland's windup with a passion.

He tried to model himself after Kershaw.
