New legends for 23
-
El Tiante would be Cueto X 10
If they added special windups he would be the most fun pitcher.Think Fernando/Cueto hybrid.
I would like to see Lou Whitaker as well but in todays homer or bust baseball he would be very underwhelming in a video game.
-
Negro League players, Ty Cobb and Hornsby, and some lefty relievers
-
Negro Leagues stars (especially Gibson). Speaking of Gibson, they desperately need some more catchers. Fisk, Yogi, Roy Campanella, Mickey Cochrane, Thurman Munson, and Ted Simmons would be awesome. And we just lost Buster Posey AND Yadi, so we’re really hurting for catchers. My end game catcher is usually a 1B. In 2023, no more Foxxes in the hen house!
-
Hank Greenberg. Generally dont see his name pop up on these lists but it would be like having another Jimmie Foxx in your lineup.
-
Joe Charboneau (RoY version)
Ted Simmons
Don Wilson
Doc Ellis
George Sisler
Dizzy Dean -
Bo Jackson and Dustin Pedroia

Probably won’t get everyone excited but my top 2 would be David Wright and Johan Santana.
Yes, would love to see former Minnesota Twins great Johan Santana.
-
Frank Robinson. He would be a monster in the game.

Good call. One of the most underrated players. He’s inner circle easily.
-
They need Kevin Brown

He is underrated. I don’t know why his name never comes up.
You could make an argument he is at least in top ten or twenty players of all time. -
Daryl Strawberry
Dwight Doc Gooden
Bernie Williams
Deion Sanders (Yankee)
Bo Jackson (Royals) -
Paul O'Neill and Bernie Williams. Need a Paul O'Neill kick animation.

That's how Oneil Cruz got his name

Bernie Williams is the player I have always wanted most. One of my favorites growing up and he hasn't been in a video game since the very first Show back in 2006 so he's long overdue.
I know he didn't have a good arm, but hard to beat a switch-hitting CF with good pop, solid defense and some speed. He'd never leave my team. Mantle can move over to left or right.
Paul would be great as well. I'll take anyone from the 96-00 dynasty run. Just a shame they no longer have guys like Orlando Hernandez or Tino Martinez under contract anymore. El Duque was fun to pitch with because of his funky delivery. I was probably the only one who used him, but they dogged Tino. His debut card in 20 was super underwhelming and even the HRD card they released later that year got totally screwed on power and especially defense. Last year I think they only released an 85 card from his days on the Mariners. Was hoping for a Silver Slugger or Milestone card from his 1997 season. Tino was an absolute beast that year.

Really? That is pretty cool. Similiar to "Robinson" Cano...
-
I’ve been wanting to lead off Tim Raines for years now. Oddly, he might be my #1.
Sandy Koufax, Frank Robinson, Josh Gibson would all be nice too.
More lefty reliever options would be cool also. Jesse Orosco anyone?

Here, here. There are a million really solid outfielders in the game, but a relative paucity of top notch lefty relievers.
-
Norm Charlton would be a nice lefty addition for the bullpen.
-
If we are talking lefty relievers again not necessarily a top name but a good Pedro Feliciano would be cool.
