Team Affinity Card reveals for Aug 29th
-
@Victoryphoenix_MLBTS Your post is a reminder that for whatever reason the show year after year neglects 1990’s NL players…Sabo & Rijo as you mentioned, But also isn’t it weird that they have never brought the Pirates outfield into the game? Andy Van Slyke, Bobby Bonilla, Barry Bonds?

@Dolenz_PSN pretty sure Isbel is a CF, not a catcher. Autocorrect?
You are correct. It was a mistake on my part. Can't even blame autocorrect.
-
@Dolenz_PSN well, I know there’s an OF on the Royals with C secondary, but 99.9% sure it wasn’t Isbel!
-
I have a problem with Bazzana, Jenkins and McGonigle. We can't find anyone in the Guardians, Twins, or Tigers franchise history would could be TA rewards? We have to resort to prospects with 0% Major League experience?!?
Doby for the Guardians
Killebrew for the Twins
Newhouser for the TigersDone.
-
@SaveFarris_PSN Agreed. Of course McConigle should be better at this stage than Trammell. It only makes sense. Will probably have better stats than Judge while they are at it.
-
Its weird. We know the next TA round will be Finest. The prior was All star.
It is extremely unlikely we see anything else in TA, so why isn't this round all legends?
-
@Dolenz_PSN Bring on Lance Parrish or Bill Freehan for the Tigers!

What makes you think finest will be nothing more than a voucher exchange like all-star was with no real incentive to use most of the cards?

@P0pa-Cherry_XBL The last thing a Padres theme team needs is another reliever, but that is the predictable choice. I want a 99 Gwynn. I could see Ozzie Smith because SDS has zero imagination and loves recycling.

Updated the first post with the AL West cards
Astros - Berkman
Mariners - Colt Emerson
Angels - Logan O'Hoppe
Rangers - Rafael Palmeiro
A's - Tyler SoderstromI think it is safe to say at this point that no team is getting a Pitcher.
-
They misspelled "Jeff Bagwell"
-
I don't know what is worse, your late season offensive captain having 0 major league experience or a .264 obp.
O'Hoppe should provide a -5 to everyone's vision and discipline

Yeah, this is the third Berkman Astros card that is better than the single version of Bagwell.
-
I know we haven't seen the stats yet for these cards but at the moment I can't see any of them as a upgrade.
But free cards are free cards.

For meta teams? Probably not. For theme teams they could be. Just a quick look and Berkman is and upgrade no matter where you have him. This version replaces his 87 card which I still show as the best 1B option for the Astros.
And if TA cards which are also captains are not meant to be Theme team boosters then what is the point. Of course SDS has not even done that right based on my opinion and my limited knowledge of their future plans.

@Dolenz_PSN
Berkman has a 96 Astros card that plays OF/1B. -

I wonder how far in advance they plan these, and how flexible they are.
Assuming they aren't doing pitchers, there are only two options that make sense for the Mets: McNeil or Baty as they need a 2B to replace easter McNeil.
But a month ago catcher was a bigger issue, so maybe they planned Piazza before Alvarez earned a spotlight
Of course, Piazza deserves the Hall of Fame card he never got last year instead of a TA card, but that is a different conversation.
But knowing SDS, it will probably be Carlos Delgado since 1B is already well covered....

@SaveFarris_PSN Its Adley Rutschman. They cant show him because hes signed on to promote a mobile game.

@Dolenz_PSN
Berkman has a 96 Astros card that plays OF/1B.My Team builder still uses his 87 card at 1B because his meta score comes out like 1 point higher than Christian Walker.
There is some questions this has brought up about the squad builder though that I need to iron out. You could use his 96 card at 1B instead.
