Full Team By Team Finest Predictions (AL)
-
I have included 2 (at least) for many of the teams: who deserves to get the Finest and then secondly, who I would like for gameplay reasons. And since SDS doesn't seem to care about multiple 99s for the same player, I won't either. So please no "But so and so already has a 99." posts.
But feel free to disagree!
Blue Jays
Vlad Jr. (confirmed)Orioles
Colton Cowser (confirmed and bizarre)Rays
Red Sox
Tyler O'Neil (confirmed -ugh)Yankees
Judge (confirmed)Guardians
Kwan (confirmed - obviously should have been J-Ram)Royals
Deserving - Witt Jr
Gameplay Wish List - Witt JrTigers
Riley Greene (confirmed - obviously should have been Skubal)Twins
Griffin Jax (confirmed)White Sox
Deserving - Crochet or Nobody
Gameplay Wish List - Crochet/MoncadaA's
Deserving - Rooker
Gameplay Wish List - Butler/BledayAngels
Deserving - Neto
Gameplay Wish List - O'Hoppe/JoyceAstros
Bregman (confirmed - would have rathered about 5 other guys)Mariners
George Kirby (confirmed - REALLY wanted Raleigh)Rangers
Kirby Yates (confirmed - yawn) -
Completely agree so far with all your thoughts on finest players, would definitely like to see Josh Smith get a finest card
-
Yeah even though I said I'm not going to care about multiple 99s, if they were super recent 99s (like Seager and Semien), I tried to provide an alternative.
The exception is someone like Lindor. Even with multiple 99s and a recent one, no one else on the Mets is nearly on the level of Lindor so it should be him.
-
Think Blue Jays will be Vlad, and or Gausman, as the later hasn’t received a high card yet.
-
Twins card will be Griffin Jax. I also want it to be Jax
-
Jax is 9th on his team in WAR, but I'm no expert. I seem to have overlooked closers.
Does anyone know if closers generally have a low WAR?
-
The Guardians closer Emanuel Clase could also get a finest card

Not over Jose Ramirez. No chance. Maybe if they made Ramirez a collection reward. That would be the only way Clase would get it.

I love Taylor Ward cards, pulling for him.

I dont understand the assumption that each team only gets one.
That is inconsistent with what they did last year (the Guardians in particular got 4 cards I think) -
vlad jr and oneill are the reveals so far

It looks like there will be one collection reward per division.
So that means either Skubal or J-Ram (or both) will not get a Finest card which is insane.
Why do you say that? There will be BR rewards, Event rewards, World Series rewards. All will likely have 2024 Finest cards.
In addition there will likely be a program (even a small one) that will have another few cards. I would also expect 2024 Finest packs with base/rare rounds. Lots of other Finest will be released and I would fully expect expect J-Ram and Skubal to each get a card. -

The scouting report email references a special Finest Choice pack. It’s likely there will be more than just Team Affinity and collection rewards, like usual.

It's almost Thanksgiving! So now we should be patient?
