Degrom-Cabrera-Ohtani will be the new big three
Ohtani? why? i don't think we are getting degrom either. I think it will be Walker. This program is just topps now cards released as a TA. They aren't that exciting by name and will have to be juiced to even crack people's lineup minus the bull pen guys.

They showed deGrom as the Mets all-star card on Twitter. I do think we could see cards for the other 20+ all-stars in the next few weeks tho

Already been announced it’s deGrom, most of them are already released my man

I’m a little worried that none of these cards will be really useable except on theme teams

Usable is definitely a relative term. Will Trea Turner and Olson be better than Story and Ortiz. On paper no. But Olson is taking ortiz out of my lineup in a heartbeat. The only cards that will be "unusable" are Adam Frazier, Brantley, and Cronenworth as well as some of the starters. Devers, Olson, Turner, Perez, Teoscar, Albies, and Castellanos all have god tier swings IMO. It's all personal preference. The way some people see it unless it's the 99s of Mantle, Griffey, Babe, Gehrig, Pujols, Mays etc. than it's "unusable". Have some fun with your lineups once in a while instead of conforming to the meta lineup. You will enjoy this game a lot more that way

I’d enjoy this game a lot more if those idiots put Trout in one of my packs. I’ve been playing since 15 and have never pulled him

Awh i hadn't seen they announced him yet. Good at least there is one non topps now card. I still don't get the ohtani reference. I know walsh is the angels and i don't see a hrd ohtani not being a fielding card.

Olson has a much better swing and has god tier reactions at first. Devers, olson, and degrom are the only cards i think i will even care about in this.

Why Olson over Ortiz?
They will likely have similar #s vs RHP (Olson may be worse vs L) and Olson's swing is much better than Papi's

I’m excited about German Marquez. His 88 has been very solid, good pitch mix, now the per 9s to go with it. Curious who the henchmen are going to be.

I just looked at their twitter and didn't see degrom. Was he a content creator anouncement?

They will likely have similar #s vs RHP (Olson may be worse vs L) and Olson's swing is much better than Papi's
Plus Diamond defense (means little at first but he'll save you a run every so often). I dunno...as a Yankee fan Papi ruins my day but I feel like I collected him and I need to use him (I do well with him too which helps lol).
Anyway -- TA3 Trea Turner is super appealing as I love his LS card (still on my bench) so a him being juiced is awesome (and gives me more lineup construction problems). Excited to see the juiced Hader/Judge as well.
Overall some of the lower tier LS Cards (Reyes/Soto) are kind of exciting to see what they do with them. Give Tigers/Cards fans a reason to use a fav team player that has potential is always a good thing imo.

Appreciate that... Good at least there is 1 non topps now card in the program. I am guessing this will be a reliever heavy program as i don't see starters in this program as far meta picks. They will have to juice them like kyle got to be starters other than the relievers and degrom.
