What do you guys think John olerud's card will look like?? (assuming it's a SS)
R 115/80 L 105/74
vis/disc - close to Max
Diamond defense
Or is that too generous, not generous enough?I think it will be a bit more than "slightly" more power, but that probably gets into semantics in how we value slightly.
Olerud's highest slugging % was .599 (1993) and .551 (1998)
Keith's highest was .513 (1979).
That's a big enough divide that since Keith has 70/69. we could see up to 90ish for Olerud.Keith's highest ISO was .173, Oleruds was .236

I'd consider that SLG % difference slight in a macro sense, but it very well could put Olerud in the 80/90 range, depending on the methodology they use. Either way, I'm stoked. He was a lot of fun to watch growing up and sounds like he'll be a more than serviceable card early in the game's cycle.

I was thinking something close to jackie Robinson's hitting stats........ with diamond D.
if hes released early on he will be a great card to use. definetly will run him and alomar together -

If you’re over the moon now, where will you be when Randy Johnson gets revealed?

They better increase the dove factor to 21 Jump Street levels if they add the Big Unit.

Waiting for a legit kirby Puckett card drop

I just want a new legend to represent the Rockies that isn't Shovelface. Holliday doesn't count either.
Larry Walker?

If we get Randy Johnson can we get a Moment where you have to hit a bird

@BIGHOOV2713 said in NEW LEGENDS in 2020:
I think Pedro and Randy have to be definites. So we should be getting tons of new pitchers. What about hitters?
Just checking the WAR leaders for the 90's and 00's had some good names that could make (should make) an appearance:
Larry Walker
Craig Biggio
Derek Jeter
Manny Ramirez
Todd Helton
Darin Erstad (was in last year but gone this year)
Troy Glaus
Tim Salmon
Nomar Garciaparra
Julio Franco
Kirby Puckett
Darren Daulton
John Olerud
Jim Thome
Jeff Kent
Marcus Giles
Scott Rolen
JD Drew
Derrek Lee
Brian Roberts
Mark Teixeira
Grady Sizemore
Vernon Wells
Alfonso Soriano
Carlos Pena
Magglio Ordonez
Chone Figgins
Not to mention other pitchers who had success in the 90's and 00's
Kevin Brown
Chuck Finley
Mark Langston
Kevin Appier
Mike Mussina
Jose Rijo
David Cone
David Wells
Dontrelle Willis
Tim Hudson
Barry Zito
Roy Halladay
Curt Schilling
Johan Santana
Brandon Webb
Pat Hentgen
Mike Hampton
Tim Lincecum
Jake PeavyThis could be a whole new crop of AS/PS/BO/IV/R or even SS cards (if there are such things in '20).
It's kind of exciting to think about it!
Just saying that Olerud and Roberts made it so far from my list!!!
-
Jose RijoYeah I think a lot of what we get ifnot all will be from your list.

Gotta think we’re getting a mega star or two from this 90’-00’s themed era they seem to be introducing this year.
I’m betting Pedro and/or Randy Johnson
And I could see AROD making a big come back this year. Would be dopeeeeeDid someone say dope?? - ARod probably

My money is on pedro making an appearance in 20. Would love to see the big unit as well.

There was noone added from the stream yesterday.

He's not really a 'Legend' per se, but I'd love to see Bip Roberts in the game. Switch hitting 2B with speed to spare and decent contact numbers.
Bonus: The name 'Bip!'
