Started MLB 20 as a gold and never reached 90+ during that game

The way Lindor has been playing since start of season & still continues to be hot & how he was upgraded back to Diamond. I could easily see Lindor being a Lightning POTM

Of course that was at the end of the year when they could easily make it a 99 card. Considering that this month the lightening card might top out at the 93-95 range then it would not be much of an upgrade to either Arenado or Ramirez
And I say that even as a cardinals fan who would love a boosted Arenado card.

They pretty much always give lightening card to one of MLB's actual POTM or Pitcher of the Month.
It'll be interesting to see who the lesser POTM cards are as the top 10 in WAR for batters last month is already full of guys with live series diamond and a few FOTF players

Dylan Cease. (Not that up to date on performances, but wouldn't be surprised if he gets a card in the program somewhere....)

I'd guess not. He was 14th in Pitcher WAR in April. He made a big jump up that list after his stellar performance on May 2nd but that does not count for April's POTM.

theres also never been a live series card at 97 since 17. J-Ram or Nado has to be a lighting card.

I'll gladly admit it if I'm wrong. But a Jram or Arenado would be a complete waste. People seem to think the Buxton card last was a completely juiced monster, when in reality you put those hitting stats on anyone but buxton and the entire community calls it an L. If you are happy with a +10 max attribute Bump for Nado or Jram, who are both guaranteed 99s anyway, instead of Pablo Lopez or Logan Gilbert, then fine. All I know is how they choose player of the month lightning cards is quite literally the most consistent thing SDS does.

Wasn't Buxton a gold (or at most an 85?) last year at the beginning? Guys always had great defense but he only broke out offensively early last year (and missed like 2 months due to injury as well).
EDIT: I also agree that it would be a waste giving a lightning card to a LS 90 diamond.
Lopez or Gilbert probably likely imo. I can see a France/JP Crawford/Rizzo Potm step card/topps now type thing being part of it.

Buxton just went diamond(87) a week before POTM was released. I honestly don't think Jram or Arenado would have been bumped to 90+ if there were any plans to give them the lightning card

That's a good point. Of course I'd love either JRam or Nado but their LS are good for now and we know they'll get better cards as the season progresses. I'm hoping for Logan Gilbert but Pablo would be pretty rad too.

Nadoooo, we've also had a JRam Lightning in the past
-
It will be Gilbert or Lopez. Let the LS diamonds be diamonds and diversify.

Buxton last year was a massive W for a lot of the community?? What are you talking about

He was a massive W strictly because he was Buxton. Anyone that wasn't max fielding and speed with the hitting attributes that card had would not have been good. My main point is that this card would not be any sort of significant upgrade over Arenado's or Jrams live series cards
-
I could see Rizzo, Ty France, or Gausman for lightning

i seem to disagree, a Nado card with great fielding and higher contact would be great along with J-ram, he'd have at least 100s in contact, good power, secondary positions, a gilbert with those pitches would be borderline mid. No one would be that excited with a pitcher with no cutter or a sinker or even outlier. Thats just how this community is.

Lopez has sinker cutter slurve I'm fairly certain. He would be their choice. Just so we are clear it's not that I don't think either of those two deserve the card, is that high end live series cards just don't get the player of the month lightning cards. They have also made it pretty clear that they are scaling back giving out top tier cards too early and either of those two cards throw that idea out the window already. I can truly see them limiting the lightning card to 93 overall. I just think if you have to question whether it would be better to play a Live series card up on inside edge over the main reward of a monthly program, it's a wasted card. Which Jram and Arenado would both be
