@SaveFarris_PSN As a Mets fan Im still super bitter of the lack of Mets brass interest in retain Alonso. Dude has been the best player to ever wear the Mets uniform. Braindead move
-
@Rubbaneck34_XBL yeah I don’t understand it should have been a much better push to bring him back
-
@Rubbaneck34_XBL I mean atleast they somewhat tried to make up for the start of ur offseason and didn’t just roll over and die after losing Alonso and Diaz
-
@Rubbaneck34_XBL you don’t need to do Gary Carter and Carlos Beltrán like this to make your point
-
Red Sox:
Sonny Gray
Ranger Suarez
Caleb Durbin
Willson Contreas

@On_a_Power_Trip_PSN not even these 2 guys that come to mind first for me it’s David wright or Daryll strawberry If it’s not Alonso
-
I feel like today has to be huge I feel like spring breakout and st pattys day where both rough drops not rly any useable let alone great cards I feel like this drop is a must hit
This is a dangerous mindset thinking that every single content drop has to push the meta little higher. There are already 37 legend and flashback cards at 90 or above. If every drop pushed the meta a little higher then we would reach 99s before the all-star break.
As for the question in the original post, the only one that seems feasible for the Cardinals is Dustin May.

@Dolenz_PSN I know where you’re going with this, but they don’t have to push the ratings up to have a good drop - they just need to highlight the right players and give some teams who haven’t been given a lot of love some love
-
Giving guys like Tyler Rogers and Bo Bichette 89/90 overalls wouldn’t break the game
-
We already got them in WBC, but some higher rated Luis Arraez and Harrison Bader cards would be nice for Giants fan…

His response was to a guy who thinks only god squads matter for drops. Ignoring that SB had some cards like Doyle in it.
New Threads is one of those drops that should have a lot of below meta cards to fill out theme teams. For example, a Luisangel Acuna card for the White Sox, or Austin Hays. Sugano for the Rockies (I dont think he got a WBC card). etc
-
For some reason I’m feeling a Ryne Stanek as well, but I hope for he and May.
We got kind of spoiled with 3 88’s last week so I am expecting nothing.
-
@Dolenz_PSN I may have been misunderstood I don’t want a overall jump just want players who play well in game to get 89/90s I’m all for slow power creep
-
I cannot wait for the Skubal in Dodger threads that will be out later this year.
-
For my Jays I’m hoping for an Okamoto and either a Rogers or Cease.
-
@Sarge1387_PSN ponce could also be cool
-
Brad Keller Phillies card

My mistake then.
I am a firm believer in cards that, while they may not crack the meta, serve other purposes. While you considered the Spring Breakout as a drop without any usable cards. I saw it as a great drop because it improved my very weak Cardinals theme team, which I use almost exclusively offline.

Matt Strohm, Isaac Collins, Kyle Tucker, Framber Valdez

@On_a_Power_Trip_PSN I didn't mean to slight any former players but considering Alonso leads the team in multiple categories and is a super healthy player. Signing Jorge Polanco who has played 1 inning at first base is an embarrassing move. They should've just moved Mark Vientos to first base instead. Polanco is a good hitter but if the Mets brass wanted to get better defensively during the off season. That wasn't very bright. That was a desperation move. I would've been happy with them signing Goldschmit to a 1 year deal. At least he knows the NL better.
