Small List of Batter's SDS has Rights To But Won't Use
-
Aside from Adrian Gonzalez, I will gladly pass on all those dudes. If they can sell off the rights to the other 53, maybe they can afford to bring back Jimmie Foxx.
EDIT: Actually I take that back. Keep Sean Casey. Isn't he the guy who got thrown out from LF when running to first?

For those wondering, they can't name the animations of the player without having their rights.
I have a feeling that it is not that straight forward.
I saw Red Schoendienst in the batting stance list. I just don't believe for a second that they would ignore a Hall Of Famer who spent 15 years with the Cardinals. He was a 10X all-star.
With Pujols, Molina and Wainwright all retiring and being out of the game why would they not add in a new Cardinal Legend if they had him available?

Yeah, you are probably correct; it's probably not that straightforward. Unfortunately, all we can do is speculate because of the lack of transparency from SDS/Sony. Perhaps the repetitive content would be more tolerable if we knew what these likeness negotiations entailed.

Scored as 7-3

if they gave out a Sam Fuld card?
Finest 2014 card for sure. 4 HR's, .239 average, .9 WAR. A boy can dream...
-
@sbchamps17_NSW Respectfully, are you nuts?! Doerr and Boudreau are Hall-of-Famers, and some of the rest of those players on that list, were the better contact and power hitters of their era. Why isn't SDS using them?
-
It doesn't mean that people want to use those cards. Not every player will be in the game. Alot of cards are just used for collections for alot of people
-
I highly doubt they have the rights to these guys
Gonzalez in particular, but Cirillo would absolutely have cards too at a quick glance.
-
Milton Bradley was a kook.
They must be afraid to approach him......even on ZOOM 🤪 -
@MarioMendoza935_XBL I think that would be hilarious for a silver BR card.
-
@TheGoaler_MLBTS Yeah, but he’d probably be great in game and you could give him good cards for a few different teams.

@Dolenz_PSN currently GM of the Phillies! Must admit I only remember him defensively but agree, doesn’t warrant special treatment

I would imagine there are some Tampa fans that would appreciate a low 90s Johnny Gomes early in the season to mix things up.
A guy like Jacobs could be part of a 'late season call ups' series for the mets, and then he had a 30 HR season for the marlins a couple years later.
So I would say 1/3 of these would certainly be good additions, and better than a good deal of the TA 2.1 cards (assuming they somehow had their rights for free)
And if they have 'good swings' they will be used by even more people regardless of the quality of player
But the assumption being made is that SDS has rights to these players, which they almost definitely do not.
-
You can give PLENTY of those guys high 80’s/low 90’s cards in the beginning or middle of seasons that would simply mix it up instead of giving the same player 7 different versions of himself. There were numerous guys on that list who had a very solid, or multiple, solid seasons

Exactly! If SDS did that with some of these "lesser" legends, I'd find that somewhat entertaining. I mean, if we can't get the "big" legends, get creative with these guys...
-
Not even the Ausmus family is clamoring for his card.
-
Why do we not have a Mark Grace card yet over all these years? I don't follow the ins and outs of requirements, so maybe I've missed something along the way?
-
It's a two-way street. SDS has to feel like there is enough interest in order to bring in a new legend, and the player has to be willing to sign over their NIL. Even if the player is willing (and some famously are not), they have to agree to a price. I would be shocked if SDS hadn't approached him about being in the game, but the fact that he's not here means either Grace isn't interested or he's not going to be interested until SDS increases their offer.
I would be very, very curious to know how much they spend on each legend. $10,000? $100,000? $500? I have no clue. I'm sure bigger stars can demand bigger contracts, but I have absolutely zero idea what the range is for legends in this game.
