Pipeline Past Program - Time to start Speculating

[Dolenz_PSN]

It’s a double stream week!

Tune in Wednesday at 11 AM PT for The GAME Show LIVE to learn all about the new Pipeline Past Program

You won’t want to miss what’s coming.

30 cards shown. Will it be one per team?

[YOSHI24_XBL]

I totally expect it to have an TA-like-approach … which means: 1 for each team.

Content-wise it is pretty clear to me that the program consists of former top pipeline-prospects … so we could have Pipline-Prospects as Adley Rutschman, Mike Trout, etc.

It will be 30 Yankees.

[dbub_PSN]

No it will be Yankees get 2, everyone else gets 1, while the Red Sox get 0.

Haha - if that happened I wouldn't be one of those guys that always threaten to uninstall the game, no I would actually do it.

[dbub_PSN]

In all seriousness, I hope they can somehow give these past pipeline cards to guys that are still on that same team.

For instance, as a Red Sox fan I would have no interest in a Kyle Teel or Braden Montgomery.

[Teak2112_MLBTS]

It looks like this is all current players.

Mets options:
-David Peterson is one of the most overdue players in The Show for a card of any kind, and he was #2 for the Mets in 2018.
-Wheeler was their #1 prospect in 2013
-Alvarez is of course always a possibility, and sadly the most likely I think

[GixxerRyder750_PSN]

Could be the Ideal time to utilize players from Different teams so you don't have to choose from 3 variations of the same guy on Team Builds.

Need to be careful with this. A Wheeler Mets cards would be great, because he was an important player to them. A Giants Wheeler card would be insulting.

But they dont need a prospect program to give wheeler a Mets card

I also think of how absolutely awful one of last year's TAs was with an onslaught of failed prospects, but i think they have learned at least some lessons from last year's absolute disaster.

[Dolenz_PSN]

My only prediction is that a portion of the community will call it a big L regardless of who is revealed.

And some will be quick to remind others that none of these people will make their squad.

I keep checking to see if they are going to maybe tease one or two cards, but nothing yet. Since they have a stream tomorrow they may just reveal them all there.

[dbub_PSN]

Cedanne would be perfect for the Red Sox. It wouldn't be a great card with poor hitting attributes, but at least it would make sense.

If they go with non current team players would you be upset with Boegarts?

[MRAD2010_XBL]

I always love the Pipeline programs. I played minor league ball and still love going to watch minor league games and seeing the young guys play their heart out to get the shot to the next level.

If this is a Pipeline Past Program I’d love to see that Jackson Holiday card again. He was my best hitting second baseman last year. I don’t know far back they’re going though. If we’re talking 10 years or even way back they say Buzz Arlett was the Babe Ruth of the minors.

I’d like to see Michael Jordan just for White Sox just because. He wouldn’t be good but it would be cool to see.

They would save him for next year's program with Pete Rose (and I guess Kenny Rogers)

[MRAD2010_XBL]

@Teak2112_MLBTS Kenny Rogers the singer or the one that played for the Tigers?

The pitcher. Would be an incognito card with his nickname (which was of course related to the singer...)

[dbub_PSN]

@Teak2112_MLBTS

Hmm that's a tough one. Xander is no longer on my team but it was definitely not his fault. The Red Sox pushed him out and it wasn't like Mookie who was still wanted by the team but went elsewhere.

[Redd666ish_PSN]

I’m guessing we are going to see re issued prospect and future stars cards from years prior. Probably heavily focused on Yankees, and dudes that never made it but still had cracked cards. I think the Clint Frazier flashback from 2019 is a lock here and a I’m calling 94 overall Jarred Kelenic as a collection reward

[Lord Oimak_MLBTS]

I feel the first person they’ll announce is a 2012 Garret Cole Pipeline card
