Will TA 5 bring us second 99s of anyone?
-
Devers LS card better go diamond with the last update...
-
Zack Wheeler is a pretty obvious choice for the Phillies.
2nd in fWAR among pitchers, 2nd in FIP, 5th in ERA, 5th in ERA+, 5th in WHIPAnd Iglesias was good enough this year that there’s no need to give ohtani two 99’s.
-
I think they will do what they can to avoid multiple 99's. They'll pick someone who's close enough to deserving it and juice the card.
Jacob Stallings comes to mind, that card was JUICED.

Nobody else on the phils? the sportswriters just got done 2 months of evaluating Wheelers chances of landing the cy young, he was frontrunner for awhile, but still is at least top 5, and none of the articles now have a clear consensus.

They could tick everyone off and do a round of 99 Future Stars.

This would be absolutely wonderful. This place has been awfully calm since the Madden crew headed out.

I find the Jays will be tough. If not for Ohtani, Vlad would be MVP but already has a 99. Ray could win the Cy Young, already has a 99. Semien broke a record for most HR for a 2nd baseman, he has a 99 (or 98 base, don’t remember).
It could be Teoscar again even though they gave him a 97 AS card. Bo? Solid season but maybe 5th best season on his team? Worth consideration?

Semien’s POTM is only a 96, so he is a possibility. I would bet on it being bichette though, since he’s the only one of that group that hasn’t gotten a high diamond this year. He finished with 4.9 fWAR, which was the third best on the team and still very good. With teoscar already having a 97 and finishing with 3.9 fWAR, I don’t see how it doesn’t go to bichette. He’s been on streams/videos with SDS as well, so I’m sure they want to give him some kind of good card.

I'm really curious who gets the Finest card for my White Sox. I mean, each of the following have a card already somewhere between a 96-99 overall:
- Tim Anderson (99)
- Luis Robert (98)
- Jose Abreu (98)
- Lucas Giolito (98)
- Carlos Rodon (97)
- Lance Lynn (97)
- Yasmani Grandal (97)
- Liam Hendriks (96)
So that leaves us with Yoan Moncada, Eloy Jimenez, Dylan Cease, and most interesting of all -- Michael Kopech.
Fingers crossed we get a nasty 99 Michael Kopech or Dylan Cease.I'd also love an Aaron Bummer but I doubt they'd do that.

I think moncada is basically guaranteed to get a finest, especially considering he had the most fWAR on the team among position players. He got screwed out of a finest in 2019 due to fan voting, and he’s earned one again this year.
