A Breakdown of all 99 OVR Cards Currently in the game
-
Just some stats on all the 99s in the game as of this morning. It will be interesting to see if SDS allows the Yankees to stay in 2nd place now that the Dodgers WS cards have pushed them to the top
These do include the 10 Ranked 1000 cards that are also 99s

The position where you need the most cards of course has the fewest.
I feel like they should give every team the Herget treatment: everyone gets a finest for their best non closer reliever.

Actually CP did not even make the top 10. It has the fewest with only 13. Only 10 teams have a 99 OVR closer.

Agreed. Too many teams are very lacking in the bullpen especially in the middle relief department.
This is the part where I once again ask for a diamond Tim Hill.

As an example, they Rays have gotten i believe 3 bullpen cards all year.
I understand not wanting to pay for non closing legends, this is where they can lean in to the current roster.
Some examples for the Rays:
Garrett Cleavinger has a 2.35 era and a 1.9 WAR
Edwin Uceta has a not atrocious 3.70 ERA and 10 wins in 70 games
Fairbanks, who has a summer card, was fine as a closer
Kevin kelly in 2024 had an era under 3 in 68 games
Colin Poche 2 years ago (who is still in the league, barely) had a 2.23 era and 12 wins out of the bullpen
Brooks raley's breakout year was in 2022 for the Rays
And Jason Adam has had numerous strong seasonsNow a lot of these would of course be filler cards they would need to figure out how to work in. That team specific TA track would have been a great place for this.

I think more focus should be put on acquiring more legend relievers and giving each team at least 1-2 good options in the bullpen.
-
We need a Tim Hill, a Edwin Uceta, a Andres Munoz, A Max Fried, A Bryce Harper, Robert Suarez, James Wood, Jazz Chisolm, and much more

99s for RP/CP don’t matter. I am still rocking non 99s on my Ranked and Weekend classic teams
