Honestly, and this just a hunch, I think they will introduce award cards for each team.
I could be wildly wrong, but I can hope.
That’s be kind of cool. Really hoping for more flashbacks tho

Here’s my Predictions assuming they still are active players ranging from gold or lower:
Red Sox: Bogaerts
Yankees: Gardner
Blue Jays: Giles
Orioles: Chris Davis
Rays: KiermeirerIndians: Carrasco
Tigers: Miguel Cabrera
White Sox: Abreau
Twins: Berrios
Royals: Salvador PerezAngels: Pujols
Astros: could really be any of those cheaters but I’ll guess Reddick
Rangers: Andrus
Athletics: Sean Manaea
Mariners: who knows, Vogelbach?Nationals: Tre Turner
Marlins: Urena
Braves: Soroka
Mets: Syndargaurd
Phillies: HoskinsPirates: Taillon
Cubs: Schwarber
Cardinals: Carpenter
Brewers: Braun
Reds: CastilloDodgers: Muncy
Rockies: Desmond
Diamondbacks: Archie Bradley
Padres: Hosmer
Giants: SandovalNow I’m kind of hoping they change it up and instead of doing just present players, use past players. For instance, like a Kevin Youkillis for the Red Sox or a Tim Lincecum for the Giants.
For the padres to get a good hosmer flashback, he’d have to have a good season there...
-
Giles for the Jays? I don’t know how you can consider an impending free agent, a guy they shopped last year, Face of the Franchise lol
-
Your list is exactly why they aren't going to do FOTF cards for stage 2. Hosmer, Desmond, Urena, and Kiermaier? Yikes. They also never said that team affinity was exclusive to FOTF cards. They could put any series of cards in here and they will. You think we would get 99 rated FOTF cards? Hell no. We might get a few more FOTF cards but Id say with the most part they are done with those.
-
I don't know about the next round, but if we have a season the summer ones would make sense to be All Star cards.
-
I'm going to bet they are 90-93 flashbacks/legends since there already is a FOTF collection banner .
-
Jays has to be Bichette.. or Biggio
-
I don't think they will stay with cards gold or lower, I think at one of the stages they may do like an all time face of the franchise, or more buffed diamond cards.
-
It will be flashbacks and legends.
-
I would love the Jays to be a 1993 All Star John Olerud. This card would have absolutely ridiculous contact. 120-125 contact both sides... and much better power than his Mets card. His slash line that year. .363/.473/.599
Flirted with .400 into August. This card would be a 93 at worst... -

Flirted with .400 into August. This card would be a 93 at worst...Not to mention very good defensively. They are running a Jays Classics marathon showing both 92 and 93 runs on Sportsnet. I’m enjoying reliving these moments. I was 10 at the time and remember watching

Me too man! I've been watching them all. I was 9 at the time. Brings me right back.
I prefer the 93 title though, simply because I like Molitor more than Winfield, and the ending was more climactic
And Rickey -
Molitor was so clutch in that run. My favourite player growing up was Joe Carter even before that homerun so I get it about the 93 run. Thank god Borders hit like a machine in 92 cause he couldn’t throw anyone out on the basepaths!

Granted he was tasked with throwing out Deion freaking Sanders and Otis Nixon!! Lol
But ya! Borders was great! Big homer off Glavine that one game.

Didn't want the Royals to sign Gordon. Hugely overated player in Royals history. Didn't want them to sign Hosmer either for that amount. Glad they didn't but he is still a better overall player than Gordon.
-
I would like to see the next round be Future of the Franchise.
There are still plenty of high rated prospects who don’t have good cards.
AJ Puk, Bobby Witt Jr, Ke’Bryan Hayes, Gavin Lux and so on.
-
Idk I know someone pointed out the positions for the missions, for example the Braves is 2B for Ozzie and then 1B and OF for Freddie and Acuna which would make sense if they were doing FotF for all. Idk though, only reason I haven’t locked in Braves yet

Hosmer
9 seasons
9.9 WAR, 107 wRC+, -7 DRS/-27.1 UZRGordon
13 seasons (2 injury shortened)
32.1 WAR, 103 wRC+, 112 DRS, 87.3 UZRWho's overrated???
Hosmer is as overrated as it gets...
Gordon has always been slightly underrated if anything, for his career... He's an amazing fielder.
Hosmer isn't even half of Gordon for his career... -
What plagued Gordon was that he never lived up to the hype offensively. I remember the huge debate was Braun or Gordon. Both playing 3B coming into the league. Braun had huge offensive years (helped by HGH but thats a whole other conversation). Gordon was an elite defender. Just never broke out as an elite hitter

Yup, he had massive hype. Was supposed to be the next George Brett. It's funny that he turned out to be a light hitting historically excellent defender in LF of all places, but carving out a +30 WAR career is still fantastic.
Hosmer on the other hand has done nothing to warrant that contract he got, and should have no place owning 3 GGs
