I don’t think I’d miss any of these guys one bit:
Luis Aparicio, Gary Carter, Jonathan Lucroy, Cy Young, Robin Roberts, Warren Spahn, Jay Buhner, Richie Ashburn, Keith Hernandez, Shane Victorino, Juan Pierre, Robin Yount, Mike Scott, Catfish Hunter, Christy Mathewson, Brooks Robinson, Bill Mazeroski, Paul Molitor, Bert Blyleven, Orlando Cepeda, John Smoltz, Jim Palmer, Ron Guidry, Alan Trammel

Lucroy is still an active player, unsure why he would be included here.

I still think this list and 50 others in the game is the reason we need some form of Squad battles and I hope mini seasons is that. What’s the point of 1000 cards when you only play regular CPU teams offline or full goad squads online. In a few hundred games over the years I’ve faced the guys you mentioned a handful of times at the most. Seems like so much effort and shine on cards to just sit in binders doing nothing

We would like to negotiate for Buhner.

Haha… Buhner was one of my favorites! I almost wrote Edgar Martinez in here too, but my conscience wouldn’t allow me.

Wow… I didn’t realize he was still playing.

Curious what you mean about Squad Battles. I agree there are a lot of cards that won't make the Online God Squads although more will definitely be used offline. I do love seeing more legends that represent the whole history of baseball but there should be reasons to use more of these players, because you're absolutely right, so many of them just sit in binders.
I probably use more cards on a regular basis than the average player as it's my first year, I play mostly offline (only play BR online) and I love to change my rosters. I actually have 6 primary rosters (1 for each division) that I use regularly. That means I use 30 starting pitchers, 48 relievers, 48 position players and 30 bench guys with regularity ans I'm not even scratching the surface. Would love a reason to play even more of a variety.

Robin Yount
@SchnauzerFace would like a word.
BTW... where the hell is he? I'm anxiously awaiting his return...
-
Is there a list of the "available" players somewhere? Apparently, I don't know how to use the Google interweb and I can't find one.
I love me a good list. I've spent days trying to fill out @Ikasnu_PSN 's request. BTW, if you haven't already, GO FILL ONE OUT.
-
I Like Scott, Catfish Hunter, Blyleven, Palmer and Cepeda, They can do away with all the FS and Prospect cards.

Same with Gary Carter, no one uses him
I use Carter. He’s on my 80’s decade team. Same for Yount and Scott. Would be sad to see them go.

Don't worry, they won't. I actually started using Carter as a backup, doubles king.

Ones I wouldnt miss would be Schmidt, Kaline and Bench. Nothing against any of them as players but their swings are terrible in the game. It's a shame too because you could argue that schmidt is the best 3rd baseman of all time and Bench is the best catcher of all time.

I’m back! I kinda got tired of the game after the World Series but I started playing again recently so I could finish up the Griffey collection before 22 comes out.
Still haven’t unlocked Yount. He may not be in my lineup, but he’s forever in my heart. And pants.

YES YES YES YES YES!!!
I knew if I just wished hard enough, he'd come back.

I feel like I'm seeing a unicorn . I've heard many a tale.
And he comes in hot with a Yount in his pants line. Classic.

I agree, their swings leave a lot to be desired. Against CPU, I can manage with their swings only because I can telegraph pitches easier. Against online, no chance.
Kaline would be great in the outfield if he were faster with that near perfect defense.
