Lightning Joey Votto

I hope it’s not Votto. It’s like 6 end game 1st basemen already. I been rocking Murray for a month. I don’t think he’ll ever move to my bench since he’s a great fielder as well as a great bat.

Yeah really balanced switch hitter with great defense and for a 1b decent speed

There’s top tier players at every position at this point.
CF and C are the only positions that we don't have 99's and some of the RP areas.
But 1B and RF have many 99 options at this point. I actually like this because it will provide a greater variety of teams out there...just feel like it is time to start working on a different position.

my guess is Soto

I feel like we could use more complete 3rd basemen. I platoon Devers and Chris Taylor since Devers hits right well and Taylor hits left really well. I don’t think there’s really a complete one.

Doesn't he already have a high diamond LS and a HR derby? Seriously doubt they give him another. They may go with walker as the lightning but most likely votto since he's only a gold.

A Soto that could competently play the field would be my dream!

As someone mentioned, there is Chipper at 3rd but he is the only 99 3rd baseman. I really like him but I do agree there should be other good options outside of Chipper.

Votto had a month worthy of the card, but I'd imagine they'd want to go with another big favorite here. Everyone loves Soto's swing and he's had a massive month. They gave JRam a bunch of cards last year so I don't think they'd shy away based on his other versions available already. You could definitely be right though.

They did upgrade his LS to 80 fielding I believe

I’m the worst card collector lol I can’t seem to get all the 100k stub live players.

I guess you also have to consider that historically 1B and RF are the best hitting positions in MLB. This holds true in the Show as these are the 2 most loaded positions for 99's. If they keep with using one of the 2 MLB POTM's, we get either a 1B or RF, so either way we get another player at one of the loaded positions.
-
My gut still says Votto, the troll would be another Ohtani, I have no clue if they break the trend who they go with

Yeah everyone is usually so quick to say "we need more middle infielders" even though from about 1930 to the mid 80s middle infield was mostly defensive specialists, great bunters etc. they were good players to have on your team but the only superstars in the middle infield during that time were pretty much just Ernie Banks and Jackie. Same with Catcher. Was pretty much a strictly defensive position until Roy Campanella and Johnny Bench changed that trend
-
Not everyone uses just 1 lineup all the time so 6,7, ….60 good firstbasemen….. so what?
-
It will be Soto or Votto. My guess is that they will give the Lightning to the exciting young Soto. No disrespect to Votto, but with Madden kicking off, SDS needs to generate some excitement right now, and a Soto lightning would be far more effective in keeping people playing the game then a Big, Slow 1B not many would even use in Votto. Sure Soto got a HR Derby, but we already had multiple Realmuto's, Salvy's etc, so I don't think that's gonna stop them. Votto will still get a high card too. 98 Soto Lightning with defense incoming!!!!!
-
Votto is likely to get a 99 awards card. He MASHED this past month though, and probably deserves it.
-
I could see them make a Lance mcculers card. And that would kinda suck, his delivery is hard to pick up and he is a sinker, cutter, curveball, changeup pitcher. It's gonna be Cabrera x2
