Andrew McCutchen is the “big” collection reward. L or W?

He could have the same exact attributes as a 99 Mantle/Griffey/Trout/Mays, but I just think people justify it to themselves that those iconic players are worth the investment of this kind of collection solely based on their perceived name value.
It will most definitely be an incredible card, but there will always be players that are more attracted to the name than the stats on the back. Nothing wrong with that either.
You nailed it here. Yes, this will undoubtedly be a great card attributes wise and theoretically that's all that should matter. That's why some people use their CAP on their God Squad and why guys like Trea Turner, Buxton and Julio Rodriguez are considered God tier despite the fact that Julio has yet to finish his rookie year, Buxton has yet to complete ANY year and Trea has been great for a few years but has certainly not made the HOF yet.
Conversely, a player like Ralph Kiner who led the league in Home Runs 7 straight years right after fighting a World War or Stan Musial who has 7 batting titles and over 3,600 hits can be considered unusable because they aren't fast.
Then there are people like me who care far more about what a player did in real life then some made up attributes. Add the fact that I mostly play offline and attributes no longer carry as much wait. I didn't care that Pedro had an average H/9. Offline he was dominant.
Neither group is wrong, we all like what we like. I agree with the poster who says wait to see the attributes but I also agree with those who are letdown because they were hoping for a legend and not an above average player with a 4 year peek.
This will be a fantastic card in terms of how it plays even if the name isn't the most spectacular.

W. It's a finest card so his Speed will be in the 90s, power should range from 80/100 on both sides (If not more), fielding will be a diamond, and it should be one of the best contact cards so far this year. I'll happily take this card as a collection reward.
His 2020 card was amazing and that was only a 97, 112 con R, 94 con L, 83 Pow R, 99 Pow L, 83 Vis, 101 Clu, 85 Spd, 70 Stl, 70 BRG. Now imagine what his numbers will be like for a finest 99.

I would’ve loved Mays, but I will admit, a juiced Cutch will probably be a better card than Mays because he has a better swing.. Unless they fix Willie, his major whole vs the up and in outlier sinker is very difficult for the average player, so this a low key W.

Biggest L in video game sports history without a doubt.
Cutch not even HOF
He won’t make my OF with Griffey, Mantle already locked in when they get released.
Garbage man
Wait, how are you going to get Mantle, Griffey, and Mays later, when according to this post you were uninstalling the game if Cutch was the Collection Player? 🤨
-
Huge W in my opinion! I have never used an extremely juiced Cutch, but I love him as a ballplayer and this to me is so much more refreshing than the same things we always get.

I’m thinking he will be more like 115/125 contact, 110/120 power after looking at the Maz Retro we got recently. Should be excellent in the current LHP META.
-
When I first saw that tweet I thought Cutch was going to be in the next HL pack. Was really pumped for him as I love his swing.I guess I'll have to wait a while to get him now.

That's exactly what I was thinking, while being one of the best fielding cards, and 95 speed is not out of the question.

What are your thoughts. Is this the best SDS could do?
It will probably be a real solid card. I was hoping for Legend collection not another Battle Royal/World Series type of reward.
-
Naah, love the player but I like using the Griffeys, 99 Trouts and Bonds (hopefully) of the world.
-
I'm happy for you guys that are excited about McCutchen. Personally I'm not thrilled about him so I will save what stubs I have. Only issue I see for me is that he will now be required to complete the next collection which may or may not be a player I would want or like. I would hate for the next one to be Mays, Mantle, Griffey or even Chipper for that matter and then not have enough to do that collection. Congrats to the masses.

You can probably bank on the next one being a pitcher and the final one back to a skilled player. I’m excited as the retro Finest have all been great….the game itself is “meh”, but the content is all aces IMHO.

Lotta y'all talkin' like Cutch owes you money in real life. The absolute disrespect given to Uncle Larry in this thread is outrageous.
Outrageous!
Good day!

W imo. I wanted Mantle, Willie or Hank. I was pleasantly surprised with this so W.
@Alpha-WoLf-x1x_XBL lol no one wants him huh?
Not for the cost buddy.
-
McCutchen is a W. A 5 tool player. The only reason people are saying L is because they expected someone else.
-
Frankly, disappointed, but not L. Big collections are always welcome and huge W. This McCutchen card will be undoubtedly great.

Yikes….guess I should have sold my extras yesterday…..expecting these will now drop.
Nothing against cutch, I’ve liked his cards from previous years, but just not an elite level collection reward player.
Out of all the players to choose from. Griff, Pedro, Mantle etc. They picked an average player with no appeal.
There not going to put out a card like Griffey Jr. or Mantle as the second collection. They are end type players. Unfortunately, we never see a 99 Griffey until late in the game.
-
Can’t wait until I can get him. Love his swing
-
Hate it, I'd prefer a legend. But I obviously only speak for myself. I had been buying up a few cards in anticipation of this, now I can hold off because I will probably not even use the card when I get it.
