What's with all the love for Jason Kendall? He was a good catcher but 97?
Idk ask Joe Adell how he has a 99.
I've made myself overtly clear on those farces. So not only that, but we are rewriting history just for lineup diversity/new content.
It's a joke to see Feller given a 93 for his 1946 season when he led the league in W, GS, CG, SO, K, IP, and was 6th in MVP and had a WAR of 10 (pre CY awards). Yet Burnett is given a 97 for nothing more than being the only player they could think of to represent the Marlins TA. Best he ever had was a 4.5 WAR in one season.
Now we get a 97 Kendall who admittedly is much better than Burnett, but Bench is a 93?
Comparing a card that dropped in April compared to now is a little silly. Now if Bench got a 93 FOTF and Kendall’s is a 97... that’s a reason to question it. But it’s comparing apples to oranges when you compare cards that are released at different times. It’s like judging Bench’s 2nd best card as his final version.
It always amazes me that people complain about this. We all know that any mode like this is a progressive model and that the newest card is always gonna be better than a month old card. Regardless of who had the better career
It also amazes me that people cant understand that I have an issue with the worthiness of the players given high rated cards to, not the progression of cards. Of course the game will have better cards as the year goes on. You just dont have to completely fabricate them to facilitate that agenda.

Shovel face. That's the card I'm gonna discover... Irony?

Oof they nerfed Tony Gwynn’s power...55 against lefties is garbage

My only gripe as a Rockies fan is Blackmon was an 87. The pitcher was 91 and now Bichette comes in at 97. It’s hard enough to get content for the have not teams this is a [censored] punch.

Jays got 85 Vlad, 90 Smith, and apparently a 97.. so it could be worse

Blackmon is an absolute monster at the plate regardless of his overall. It would’ve been nice to boost Rolison more but I can’t complain with the Rockies TA overall.
Bichette as a 97 is already a huge boost to what he really deserves.
One thing I wish they did with TAs is make all of the players prestige-able. That would really separate the die hards of those teams even if it is just +3s.

Ya I think that’s a great idea. I have walker in right and he’s not going anywhere. We get 4 outfielders every year but since they don’t have any team boosts or anything it’s not a big deal

Dante Bichette? Bruh, that’s so lame. [censored]. I even liked Dante a lot in real life but this is so disappointing. Could have easily been a 98-99 Helton since he’s already been a boss. That sucks.
Helton will get an upgrade later. I’m actually glad they didn’t use him here

Angles could be Salmon, Downing, Lynn, Fregosi, Boone, Langston, Troy Glaus, Jared Weaver,
God I really hope it is not Jared weaver lmao
I hope not as well.
I feel like it has to be Salmon, right? Maybe Langston. But I don’t see any of the others having very much name recognition or generating much excitement outside of angels fans.
How about Mr. Tawny Kitaen.

This is awesome man, thanks! I usually don't spend much time doing these TA's but being a Padre fan it looks like I'll have to now to get that Gwynn card. His other card has been in my lineup for a while and he's been my best hitter so definitely looking forward to this one.

Anybody have Orels ratings yet? Dying to know

Same ! He’s always been an OP pitcher in the game, will probably be my new ace

Yup. By far my fav pitcher from any DD year.

Thank you!

As a Cubs fan I am actually not very happy to see the TA3 is Kerry Wood. I love him as a player in real life but with his low control on the card I probably won't use him in RS. I was hoping for something a little more useful.

There are about 7 I want which is more than the other affinity stages for me and I’ll probably want at least one more depending on who gets revealed on stream
