TA Summer Stage Prediction

So in Stage 1 we had prospects who are either already in the Majors or on the verge of having their cup of coffee. In the Spring TA program we have prospects who are still a few years away of making it or not.

My prediction for Stage 3 (Summer) is just people/characters who were fans or those associated with their prospective teams at some point and had some historical significance.

NYY: Jeffrey Maier - The Yankees don't beat the Orioles in the 1996 ALCS without this kid.

CHC: Bartman!

CIN: Morganna, The Kissing Bandit

SD: Ronald McDonald. Hamburger magnate and former Padres owner Ray Kroc is responsible for the club's iconic color scheme which reflected the color scheme associated with late 970's/early 1980's McDonald's restaurant decor.

SF: Greg Anderson. Personal trainer to Barry Bonds and part-time BALCO representative.

Who would you associate with the MLB clubs for upcoming content?

7/10 shitpost could be better

Mascots. SS Mister Met 99 overall.

In all seriousness I think the summer TA stage is going to be an all-star version of a player from each team. And in the fall it’ll be a postseason player. Just a guess but it looks that way

Justin Turner has the potential to be one hell of a player once his prospect days are over.

@mgsfan222 Carlos Santana too. Such a young stud

There’s always some schmuck trying to be funny around here.

The spite I would feel.

Maybe the top players from the LLWS will get a card.

Will Ferrell plz.

That would be a really useful card. He could play every position as well as pitch.

I think Bartmans rights are out of SDS’ budget.

Minor league legend Michael Jordan

KC get those guys that ran out and beat up the 1B coach?

I figure they’ll go back even further. Maybe make a card of little leaguer for every team. 100 overalls

As long as they are all 5’ tall, I’d be into that!

Work for me. I can’t hit the strike zone online anyway

The KC Trailer Trash Tandem... . Must be unlocked together however..

I guarantee the original plan was the last round to be The Finest cards of each team

Some of these prospects and FS have played meaningful time in the majors. The Astros pitcher won a WS game last year, and the Athletics Luzardo pitched in the wild card game. Others have had meaningful time.

He’s just finding his stride right now. Wait till he’s 42, he’ll be MVP.

So, 4 Future Stars out of 32 have had any MLB experience at all. People didn’t have any issues with the prospect cards, but saying these Future Stars have had meaningful time in the majors just isn’t true.

This infers the Tigers would have a "Finest" player... I get the FS cards are wildly unreleastic but let's not get too crazy here.
