Are you ready for all 30 TA cards to be juiced prospect cards?
Yeah but this is being released in packs so... I’m confused now.

This is RIDICULOUS! This makes zero sense whatsoever. He already has a card, virtually the same. What are they doing? If they are doing a White sox player why wouldn't they make Eloy? I am so confused
Eloy will be the White Sox TA card.
Watch then put vlad jr future stars and tatis jr future stars too that'd just be hilarious
-
So they're making cards that came out a month ago or less irrelevant already.
-
I guess the next round of TA will be future star cards with 90-92 overalls

In the initial tweet, they said 30+ Future Stars cards.
So 30 for TA, a couple for headliners, and maybe some others from somewhere else.

I thought his prospect card swung a wet ramen noodle
Yes, he is a pure contact hitter with no sign of power and has really good to great speed. He will be similar to a Tony Gwynn at best or a better average, less k's, and also a less speedy version of Billy Hamilton.

I love the Madrigal prospect card. Very consistent bat for me. And to whoever said he swings a wet schlong or whatever ... he’s a defense/contact/speed prospect. He shouldn’t be hitting nukes.
-
I am so confused. Nick Madrigal already has the prospect card, which as an 85-plus is already a generous ranking. Why give another card of prospects? I understand trying to think outside the box and give us more content since we're all sitting at home, but I don't get this. There's going to be 1 per team but this is a headliner? An 95 Madrigal is the same overall rating as the current Mike Trout. Are you saying you project that Nick Madrigal will one day be as good as Trout now? What in the world? This is all so weird.

Only 4 homeruns in his entire minor league career is pretty terrible. Not to mention he only had a 114 wRC+ in Triple-A.
The dude isn’t going to be anything special at the major league level.
He can barely get a .100 ISO, so he doesn’t just not hit homeruns, he doesn’t get any exit velocity at all.

No, I meant he sucks. Other contact/speed options still generate good exit velos on lines drives and ground balls and such. My experience with Madrigal is that he can't hit it harder than it was thrown to him.

At least that’s realistic lmao.

They just did prospects and those were stupid juiced, now we’re gettitng more prospects w even more juiced stats??? Seriously what’s the point of ls cards anymore except collections, this guy is equal to trout ? Better than every other live series player..... I mean come on it’s just stupid at this point
-
The fact that he is a 95 is insanity
-
holy mother of....its even worse than i thought
MLB the show, now with double the juice half the fielding!

What if they gave this card good power, to you know, drive the interest and stock of the card up?

I don’t get this take at all. He gets on base. He has an elite glove. He’s faster than balls. Guys like madrigal are important because they set the table so a guy like Eloy doesn’t end the year with 40 HRs and 40 RBI.
By this measure, i guess you think Ozzie Smith “wasn’t anything special” at the major league level?

Ozzie Smith only had a 95 SS card , giving any prospect a 95 is just silly. The last batch were too juiced this is just laughable. So all these cards will be better than every live series player and all the current fof players, get out of here w this [censored]

No, I agree 100% that a 95 OVR madrigal is silly. His 85 or 86 or whatever his prospect card is seems spot on for his toolset. I’m just questioning the logic of saying he “sucks” and won’t be “anything special” just because he’s not a power hitter. You can’t have 26 Mike Trouts on your roster. You need guys like Madrigal who have great speed, contact, and defense.
