3rd Collection
-
There are a TON of good cards it could be so it’s almost pointless to speculate. Is it just me or do we usually have more of the super desirable endgame legends by this time? There are easily 30 or more who still need their (good!) 99s. I’m getting a little antsy.

I know it won't be, but I'd love to see RF Ohtani. Let me hit the snot out of the ball and be be able to steal second without having to have him pitch. At the very least, I'd like a player I want to use. Brett and Cutch are great, but I've already got better. If they weren't the live series prize the past couple years, I'd say Mariano Rivera or Trout. My guess is Cy Young. I don't remember a year going by without him getting a 99 even though that would be a better card for BR or program reward. Fifty-fifty chance it's a Yankee or Dodger?
Who do you have at 3rd that's better than Brett? I get if there is someone you like better or have better success with and I'm definitely not trying to argue with you I just haven't found anyone with attributes to meet Brett at 3rd. Riley and Walker are close but lack the speed and steal.

Brett is never leaving my lineup. I moved Austin Riley to LF and if I am fortunate enough to get Donaldson from Extreme, I'll just move Brett to 1B and then Votto becomes a PH off the bench.

Verlander is my guess

Attributes don’t mean everything. You could give me a card with maxed out attributes, and if it has a swing similar to Machado has had in the last couple years (haven’t used him this year), and I wouldn’t use the card.
Brett has a pretty good swing, but I know many that play Devers over him at third. -

Do you like Matt Carpenter’s MA card?

Absolutely he is a pinch hitter on my bench

I like speed and he's too slow. Honus Wagner, Jackie Robinson, or Kalil Watson have the speed and hitting I like. All three homer on a regular basis and have decent defensive skills. That's not even counting swings that are easier for me to use. Until recently I used Tier 5 Fernando Tatis Jr. I got to have that 90+ speed. I hope Wagner gets a 99 and there will be another I like more at 3rd as well. Right now I have Wagner at 1st, Jackie at 2nd, Oneil Cruz at SS and Watson at 3rd. OF is JRod, Buxton, and a 99 Future star I don't remember the name of. I'm not a steal cheeser, but it's nice to steal when you need to and I've been picked off with Brett more than Watson. Plus I just like Watson's swing more. Not my favorite, but good enough for now.

Nice, nothing wrong with loading your team with speed. Wait that sounded wrong.
But I get it.

It would be pretty sad if they didn’t give Honus a solid 99 card. Always loved his swing, speed, as well as his defense and range he gives at SS. I know we are talking about 3rd base, and it you like him there it cannot hurt. I just feel his ability to cover so much ground Shortstop is his best fit. Especially if his card has short as his primary position.
It’s just my opinion, but do what works best for you. I am not saying that I know anymore that you. That’s why I like this mode. People can play with a team that they want to use. -
They could really go any direction. I was thinking it would be legend this time but last year they did back 2 back current players. One thing for certain it has to be a juiced card. I feel like most lineups are amazing right now. If you did the other collectiins and Jackie you ate set at 3b, CF and 2b till the end. Frank and Ortiz at 1st with Gehrig in the next program. We just got a SS with the last 2 programs in ripken and Cruz. And the other corner OF spots can be filled by a dozen players.
So my guess right now is Chipper. Maybe a reliefs pitcher, I could make room for. -
I got it! there is no doubt now! It will be Frank Tanana. I'm not saying that as an Angels fan, but as an Angels fan that still doesn't have Nolan Ryan. Weaver, Ryan, Ohtani, Perci, Street...it's gotta be Tanana or Chuck Finley, although I'd be happy with Jim Abbot.

I’m still waiting for my Retro Finest Larkin.

People can play with a team that they want to use.I actually prefer Honus at first. His dip in defense doesn't matter and he plays first like Arenado at 3rd. Kalil Watson is a filler. I just can't find anyone I really like at 3rd right now. I was hoping for a 99 Tatis, but I don't see that happening now. I love Cruz at SS. His swing is different, but nice and his speed is insane. I don't see either Jackie or Cruz leaving my lineup this year. Heck, Jackie was P5 for most of the season last year and never left my lineup.
-
I think it's gotta be chipper. He's gotta be comin soon. They only got his 1 card from BR? I think it was.
-
It’s gonna be the dual threat Bo Jackson. Or Deon Sanders.

I hope it’s Chipper, but do you really think they will give us two third baseman? I’m thinking a pitcher.

Chipper is most likely a boss in the program thats coming tomorrow. I agree on the next collection reward being a pitcher though.

I really want that Jackie card, but haven’t finished the collection yet. I’m with you, I was hoping for a 99 Tatis, but we know we can stop now. Though I don’t have a lot of PA with Cruz, I didn’t play great with him. I think his swing didn’t work with me. Maybe it was slow?
