The title is pretty self-explanatory. If you could choose 5 more signature series cards (that SDS has the rights to) to still arrive before we move onto MLB 20, which ones would you choose?

For myself, the list would the following:

Orel Hershiser

• Realistically speaking, even if he did get a SS card they wouldn't be able to boost his /9's much (career best WHIP 1.052 and K/9 6.5) unless they totally abandon reality, but we could still expect some increases to his 92 version even with respect /9's. We might also see a bit of a boost to his fastball velocity, break and stamina.

Brett Saberhagen

• Statistically speaking - and also accolades-wise - Saberhagen had a significantly better career than Hershiser (also compared to most other pitchers). His '89 season was actually very good with a WHIP of 0.961 and a FIP of 2.45 - his K/9 that year wasn't anything insane (6.6) but he got it up to 7.5 at his best.

• We could expect to see a quite a high H/9 stat and quite a bit lower K/9 stat with great control. In his early years he could also throw quite hard so we could expect his fastball to reach 97 mph (especially given how SS cards have been boosted).

Goose Gossage

• This would be close to what his immortal card was last year - nearly perfect P/9's and better control than his 95 version.

Andruw Jones

• This is a highly anticipated card (also by me), but realistically speaking he probably wouldn't make into any other teams than theme lineups at this point (his contact and vision would simply be too low). This is probably why SDS added his 91 card so early as it actually gave a nice window to use his card when there wasn't that many better options out there.

Rob Dibble

• This is just a personal favorite of mine - we could expect small increases into his /9's, but I suppose for him to be included into most people's lineups SDS would have to give him a change-up (after which he would be an absolute beast).

As soon as you said realistically speaking you lost touch with the SS ratings of this game. These stats have been crazy unrealistic.

Joe Carter was a 30-30 guy in his prime he needs a better card that is useable.

Joe Carter had a .259 career batting average and a career .779 OPS...with a 105+ OPS. If not for the Game 6 World Series winning Home Run in 1993 vs the Philles he wouldnt even deserve a card.

My response to that is

Alex Gordon
Bill Mazoroski
Jason Kendall
Steve Finley
Rick Ankiel

I think Joe Carter is good enough

I will only accept a Rob Dibble SS if he gives up a homerun it allows you to throw the next pitch into the crowd.

hahaha that would be a fantastic feature in the game - just whips it in rage

Yeah people need to realize that Joe Carter was an average to slightly above average player, nothing more.

Joe Carter was definitely well above average and borderline HOF possibly extremely underrated. The only people who think otherwise are sabermetrics groupies who don’t understand baseball.

Dude was a lock for 30 homers and 100 rbi for 11 years. 5x all Star 2x silve slugger is NOT what an average or slightly above average MLB player does.

He is the classic guy sabermetrics misses as he performed equally good or better in clutch situations

Besides dude who says no to Carter.259 wants Zobrist .260. Really?

Out of curiosity, other than career longevity and sentiment - how is Carter's career objectively better than Gordon's?

Carter's career WAR over 16 years of playing is 19.6.

Gordon's career WAR over 13 years of playing is almost twice as high at 36.6.

Gordon also had the better peak when it comes to WAR.

I left out a lot. Carter was a better base runner. Carters defense was not terrible it was average. The gap in defense between the two is waaaaay smaller than the gap in offense. Keep in mind that Gordon was a defensive gem in the LEAST important defensive position.

This guy really just tried to use RBI, All-Star appearances, and MVP placement to justify one player having the better career over another lmao. The carter bias is most definitely on him, not us.

It is the best stat in baseball when it comes to comparing players (especially playing largely the same positions) because it captures both offense and defense.

Yes me and the hall of fame do it all the time. You ONLy have a flawed WAR stat I gave you a bunch of stats. Listen we may just disagree. If WAR is you only basis, then you will be correct at least in your mind and all of those who are ignorant about the stat

I have sen them both play and this really isn’t a close argument for me...but carry on if you want

Look at my link before you call WAR a flawed stat...

Meanwhile you refer to all star appearances and rbis as some sort of an objective metric.

Fact is Carter is better at almost every offensive stat other than WAR. So I am not going to argue.

But bottom line is that he is worthy of a SS the standard ain’t that high

Carter .259
Hordon .258

Carter 396 homers
Gordon 186 homer

Carter 1445 RBI
Gordon 700 RBI

Carter 5x Allstatr
Gordon 3x all Star

Carter 4 top 10 MVP finishes
Gordon 0 top 10 MVP finishes

Should I keep going. Carter was am excellent player

None of those address the other half of the game that is defense. Gordon is literally twice as valuable for his teams.

This guy really just tried to use RBI, All-Star appearances, and MVP placement to justify one player having the better career over another lmao. The carter bias is most definitely on him, not us.

Yes me and the hall of fame do it all the time. You ONLy have a flawed WAR stat I gave you a bunch of stats. Listen we may just disagree. If WAR is you only basis, then you will be correct at least in your mind and all of those who are ignorant about the stat

I have sen them both play and this really isn’t a close argument for me...but carry on if you want

Look at my link before you call WAR a flawed stat...

Meanwhile you refer to all stat appearances and rbis as some sort of an objective metric.

I hope you have the patience of a saint, because he will never comprehend that he’s wrong on this topic.

Nah I've made my case. I'll leave it for the other forum members to decide, who was the better player.

So, going by fWAR the only outfielder that Joe Carter was better than that has a Signature Series card is Dante Bichette. And Bichette only has a card because the Rockies had basically nobody else this year.
