Bring in new players
-
I seriously think SDS should bring in several new players I haven't seen since I started playing the show a few years ago. The likes of Sandy Koufax and Fernando Tatis Sr would be a good addition, I think. Koufax as a milestone series or charisma series and Tatis Sr as a Topps Now Moment Flashback when he hit those 2 grandslams in 1 inning
-
They bring in new players every year. They lose players every year. It is all about NIL contracts. Some players don't want to grant NIL contracts and will never be in the game. Some players ask for too much money and will never be in the game.
-
Why did they waste money to pay Jerry Hairston Jr to be in the game? I just hate knowing through years of playing DD that they only add about 15 - 20 new legends and it's so deflating to when i see this guy.
I know there's still a chance for them to likely add a few more this year, but who really wanted Chili Davis that bad?
I'm just hoping Mo Vaughn comes out since we got Greg Vaughn....but he's another one I'm just like, whatever...

Who knows? Maybe he was cheap. Maybe they liked that one player could be added to any one of 9 different teams which provides flexibility.
We'll never know their process or the ins and outs of what it takes to sign these guys.

I’d rather have Greg Vaughn than Mo Vaughn. Playing on 9 teams is a big plus and cheap NIL helps pay for more pricy NIL for sure. They probably also try and balance the teams out to keep all the teams fully represented.

I can tell you who wanted Chili Davis….it was Kirby Puckett back in Game Six of the ‘87 series! Puckett said he was going to lay down a bunt and Chili Davis says something to the effect of “Bunt? Are you crazy! Sit back and wait on you a good change up and put it in the seats and let’s go to the house.” The rest, as they say, is history.
Other than him though I doubt anyone wanted him…

Tatis Sr was nowhere near good enough to warrant a card in the Show that’s not even up for debate he was marginally better then a regular starter.

Ryan Ludwick and Raul Ibanez are in here guys. Why don’t y’all lay off on Chili Dawg.

Huh? We completely forgetting Tatis 1999 season? .298/34/107….stole 21 bags as well. .957 OPS. There are cards in this game who have never came close to a season like that
-
Give me a John Kruk or Lenny Dykstra, Darren Daulton, wild Mitch Williams haha Carlton would be nice though

Would you be talking about those like Mario Mendoza or Daniel Nava who had their very own programs in 2018 with some very awesome stat missions?

Bringing back Ty Cobb and Rogers Hornsby is a good start
-
I miss Rogers Hornsby. One of the best right-handed swings; plus, he had good attributes, but played above them. Of course there are many other players I would like to see.
-
I'm going to backtrack. I actually used Chili Davis on an Angels theme team with the Edmonds. He was pretty solid.
I just feel insulted that Jerry Hairston Jr is a Legend....
I also dislike that they have the rights to use coaches names but cannot use them as Legends. If you're going to have Hairston Jr in the game, give me a silver craig counsell or something.

I'd take a Kruk. They are never going to bring Dykstra back. Why not Mickey Morandini and Kevin Stocker?
-
Also what a dork Hairston is for getting named in the Mitchell Report and only have 70 career homeruns.
-
Yes, Morandini and Calas has to announce him everytime he steps up to the plate as well

Them and Teddy Ballgame. Instead they take them away and give us scrubs.
