July POTM? Any guesses?
-
What about David Fletcher? Does a 26 game hit streak just not matter anymore?
-
How about they do a reliever most of the TA3 relievers aren't great and Raisel Iglesias has been literally on fire for July, 7 of 7 in saves, 24K's in 14 innings of work, a sub 2 ERA, .56 WHIP, 12 games pitched, 2 wins 1 loss, it would be great to have a sick reliever to have some fun with.
If not a reliever they could break it up with a starter like Kwang Hyun Kim, 3 starts 3 wins, no ER's and 10 K's in 19 innings of work.
Gerrit Cole has also been on a tear for July and he would be a popular option next best live series after Degrom so a lot of people would use him, 2 starts 2 wins, .6 ERA, 23 K's in 15 innings of work.
But yeah it'll most likely be Soto and we will have another outfielder to chooser from that we won't use when they drop 99 Mantle or 99 Mays or both.

I think we will see a Freddie Freeman card. Dude raked in July. .400 average so far 4 bombs 3 doubles and has added a whopping 21 points to his average. Only stuck out 8 times in 50 at bats and has also walked 8 times with a OBP of .475 and is slugging over .700. Only has an 87 overall live series. Good candidate for a 94-96 card , not a master card though.

I’d honestly give all my stubs for a high Diamond McCullers

I love myself a FF. His live series has suffered since the start and his hitting isnt as good, but if we see a 99 FF. I dunno. He may make my 1B.

Edwin Diaz? 🤪

I think we might see an MVP Freeman this year with good righty stats and diamond defense, but the lightning card would probably have better lefty stats. Either way I’m happy as a Braves fan

David Fletcher, Wily Adames and Tim Anderson are absolutely raking. Gerrit Cole could be a sneaky contender with his 2 complete games (one was only 6 innings due to rain)
-
Freddie Freeman. .440 ba 8 hr 22 rbi. + 40 points added to bAtting average
-
I feel like we haven’t had a Cedric Mullins card in a long time; long overdue
-
Hey Matty, I think he does pass the eyeball test.

He’s on freakin fire man. .429 avg , .507 on base , now 5 homers 12 rbis and just ended a streak of 35 straight plate appearances without a single swing and miss. Maybe I’m a homer ( Braves fan ) but that’s seems pretty impressive. He could get the lightening

I'd like to think Goldschmidt and Harrison Bader would be in the discussion.
Potential issue with Goldschmidt and Freeman is if either are scheduled to get a boosted card soon. Freeman could get a Signature Series or even an MVP card for last year. Goldschmidt has had a Signature Series before.
In addition to hitting really well with a .338 Avg in July, Bader has been playing amazing defense but I know that won't be taken into account.

How has Soto's defense been bad? He has a .982 fielding percentage. Yeah, maybe thats not great, but what is tatis at? Although i do love tatis, which is why i went to see him at the game saturday, but how is soto bad?
You're not comparing the two? Ok, read above. You wrote it, nobody else.
In defense of Soto, his fielding has been decent this year compared to years past with 4 defensive runs saved and a 9 Rtot.

In further defense of Soto, he’s in like the 94th percentile of Outs Above Average, so, he is a pretty competent fielder. He’s not a speed demon in the outfield, but his defense on his cards are somewhat nerfed.

As a biased cubs fan im hoping Baez gets a card. He's hitting .323, and has a few doubles, home runs, and stolen bases.

He would be one of the lower tier diamonds he won't get a full lightning card

Lol, was replying to a padres fan. Dont know where you came from. Just trying to have a fun conversation. Just curious why he says soto has been bad in the field. You're thoughts big man! Thanks.
Juan Soto isn't a very good fielder...He's not bad, but he's not very good. He's pretty much replacement level, if not slightly below. It just kinda is what it is. He's not paid to be Andruw Jones. He's paid to hit. Hence him being stuck in left field, a traditional spot to hide great hitters with poor defensive skills. Sadly, he's probably having the best defensive year of his career thus far, and still contributing negatively overall.

Oh yeah of course, no way I'm expecting a lightning card for him. But a 93-95 would be fun to use. For me at least lol

I may be a bias yankee fan but LeMahieu has been hot. 34 game on base streak.
