New Diamond predictions
-
With roster update coming Friday What’s everyone’s predictions on new diamonds? I think they’ll be 4 new diamonds
-
Yes, it depends on how SDS feels.
-
Only one that may be a lock is Misiorowski.... even then SDS may not upgrade him
-
@samguenther1987_PSN Mis is an 80. He’s probably the least likely of the 7 or so guys who deserve it. Yandy is the only lock for me. They are being disgustingly stingy this year. Will they decide to open it up this update?
-
The yandy man is a good one, I’m banking on matt Olson and shea langeliers myself, maybe even Nico horener too.
-
@MattySpence503_PSN All 3 have slowed down. I still think Olson and Langliers deserve it, but Nico was borderline last update and has played his way out of diamond IMO. Rice, Elly and Baldwin deserve it.
-
@MattySpence503_PSN I personally bought into Schlittler over Mis. But I'm worried the extra week really screwed people over...and as tin-foily as it sounds I wouldn't be surprised if SDS caught wind of who people were leaning into, and gave the extra week to see if they cool down so they could use it as an excuse to not bump or drop them.
-
Given that Raleigh is on the DL, I'm curious to see if he drops from a 90. I'm guessing "no".
-
@MarioMendoza935_XBL Dude should have been 87-86 last update. Guy was literally 0 for the previous two weeks leading into that one

No chance. They don't move ratings for guys on the IL usually. And his previous sample size is likely too small to make a big difference yet.
-
They don’t move gatekeepers down mid year.
-
They'll drop them a couple points if they're awful enough, but that rarely changes the price
-
Whose going diamond does not interest me as much as how big of a boost they give Jordan Walker.
I know his previous seasons were really bad but here is his current ratings

This season he is batting .303 for far (.306 against RHP and .293 against LHP)
He is hitting .311 with RISP.He is top 11 in HRs with 16
Those attribute numbers are still very low for someone playing that well with more than 1/3rd of the season completed.
-
@MarioMendoza935_XBL Doubt it. He’s been injured for the entire period.
-
@Dolenz_PSN They did him so dirty in the first update. He should be a gold, but he won’t be. My guess is 78-79.
-
I’ve always found this part of the game confusing. I’ve tried to get into it a bit more this year. Have listened to a podcast or two (extremely rare for me) to see how it’s done. Have some investments already bought. Can’t wait to see how they will go on Friday
Many of the guys getting potential updates are already priced as such in the AH.

I don’t buy into the “MLB the Show Conspiracy” bullsh|t, but this one area where I do feel that they manipulate ratings as opposed to give actual deserving values.
-
Does anyone think James Wood will be sniffing the bling bling?
-
@DrBear100_PSN I think he’s going up, but I’d be surprised if it was more than +2 and I’d bet on +1.

Well shucks, I guess I have todo something with those James Woods I purchased a several days ago.
