Looking ahead to June Monthly Awards Program

I hope Bellinger, that would make his LS card drop.
I'm pretty sure people buying Bellinger to use him has nothing to do with his price, mostly all about the collections.
-
Bellinger makes the most sense, with the other 2 having extra cards. Plus he's deserving of having a high rated card, being a top 10 player in the game today
-
No, there are no shortstops. Something is clearly off here.

Yeah, that would probably make a bit more sense. I don't think anyone is losing their mind to use a diamond Lance Lynn anyway.
I agree with your guesses except one, I think it will be Goldie instead, Blackmon already has the FF card and bellinger 3rd highest LS ,so they'll give it to the one who is only a gold
Lmao! I actually meant to say Goldschmidt. It was so late when I posted this.

So you said we’ll most likely get Goldschmidt first, but changed it to Blackmon at the end?

I posted this so late at night, and after giving this a second pass-through and time to give some second thoughts, I think for the month of June we'll actually get:
"Hero/Lightning Guy" Card
- Paul Goldschmidt, 1B [Arizona Diamondbacks] -- 94 OVR
I'll admit that it would be very cool if they gave us that Cody Bellinger but I worry that SDS would think that would "kill off" the Live Series Bellinger's price-tag. Which in all honesty, I don't think it would and even if it did a bit, the NL West still has Nolan Arenado but I do think that SDS will hold off because of that. Then there's Charlie Blackmon, and well, seeing how they passed on Josh Bell for Carlos Correa, I think they may not want to give us the "hero/lightning guy" cards from The Show 19. Obviously the other POTM cards are up for grabs (Tim Anderson, Tyler Glasnow, etc.)
That leaves us with Goldschmidt, who I think will see his overall boosted a bit as The Show 18's release of the card at a 92 overall felt wrong in the first place. In all honesty, I wouldn't be thrilled to go after this card but I'd rather get Goldschmidt than Charlie Blackmon.
The Other Four Diamonds
-
Jesus Aguilar, 1B [Milwaukee Brewers] -- 85 OVR
-
Yordan Alvarez, LF [Houston Astros] -- 87 OVR
-
Liam Hendriks, CP [Oakland Athletics] -- 88 OVR
-
D.J. Lemahieu, 2B [New York Yankees] -- 90 OVR
- Paul Goldschmidt, 1B [Arizona Diamondbacks] -- 94 OVR
-
Nice write up. Thanks for doing this
-
Gomesdalegend did a RS game with only monthly awards cards and there wasn't a single outfielder, so it almost has to be at least one in there. Right?
-
I bet we’ll see a Skaggs. And if he gives up a HR, we can just blame the catcher for calling the pitch!
-
Bumping this to help figure out which cards to invest in right now. I got a bunch of silver 1B, probably safe to have at least 1 in the program?

Same here, invested in 20 Muncys and 10 Crons, I will thank them if they drop Aguilar first!

No because Bellinger is a gatekeeper to Mantle. His price will only go down after lots of people get Mantle so sometime in late August/September would be my guess that he drops in price.
-
I dont think they would give out a free Bellinger like that. My guess is they go with Goldy
-
Do you think they could go with Treinen first? I they did should I invest in closing pitchers or relievers?
-
Can't wait for Chuck Nasty.
-
Is the exchange repeatable for the POTM?

I've noticed that pitchers have not jumped much at all in the past programs, probably too many to be worth investing in.

So I should stick with all of my Muncys and Crons?

That would be a great hitting card! If he has Bronze defense I will take it

I have miss-timed a lot of investments this year so far, so not the best to give advice, but just something that I noticed with Nerris and Wood in May.

Yeah, the only exchange I did was for Crawford. I already had enough cards and forgot to invest. The first card is usually the hardest to get because the missions are hard.
