I bet we see a Nats Darren Baker Topps Now card on Friday.

Wheeler already has a good card though. Didn't he have a 95 AS card?
He did,and doesn't need another.not now anyway.

I second Conner Wong for sure. He was a borderline All-Star and certainly should at least have a Topps Now by this point.
Has Topps actually given him a Topps Now card? I searched and could find any indication that they have. SDS does not create the Topps Now cards. They simply choose from the ones that Topps released for that week.
He may have been in line for a Season Award card in April, May or June but he fell off in July and Aug.
The same problem exists for Alec Burleson for the Cardinals. He has not gotten an actual Topps Now card this year and while he has been very good (.280 AVG & 21 HRs) he has not been hot enough over a long stretch to earn a Season Award card.

With the new SA format he could have gotten one for mid June when he had 4 straight multi hit games, including a 2 HR game. A lot of these guys will get finests at least

AJ Puk was brutal at the beginning of the year, but has been stellar the past two months. All they’ve done is go from a high silver to a 63 common.

Wow, he had an excellent month of August and was not in the last update at all. He pitched 11.2 innings, striking out 17 and only walking 1.
It looks like they deducted 5 from his overall just by changing his position to RP.

He really hasn't been. Maybe 2nd but Sonny Gray has been our best.
Sonny Gray
12-9
3.96 ERA
1.10 Whip

36 walks in 147 inningsPallante

4.07 ERA
1.36 Whip
71 K's in 97 innings
40 walks 97 inningsAnd yes, I realize wins and losses is not a great measurement for pitchers.

@Dolenz_PSN I meant 2nd half because he was put into the rotation late

Problem is I don't think they give second half hero cards to players for the current year.

Yeah, I can understand that

I think this is the sort of thing where they could have some repeatable offline content at this time of year for some of the guys mentioned. Online god squadders wouldnt want a Burleson card, but a mode where you can play a quick 5 game conquest as a theme team to get a card or two for that team would get me playing more and playing different theme teams.
