Time to Grind 99 program cards.

Babe, Seaver, Hoffman, and Longo look like a program. The choice pack has Robert, Ryan, and Hornsby
I guess this is the only babe we will get since it is a 99. They said at the beginning of the year the sig cards would have every position the player played at. So it is SDS way of not having babe out on the mound on some games and at 1st the rest of the time. Really it is a toss between Babe and Hoffman.

I'm wondering what this is. It looks like a new tiered choice pack flash sale. It has 99 MVP Ruth
Where are you seeing this? Link?

By the wording of the Tweet I’m fairly certain you get Longoria, Hoffman, Seaver, and Babe all for free. The pack with Hornsby, Robert, and Ryan is probably just a ducks on the pond series 2 basically and they didn’t show the mid or base tiers

And I'm at work ahhhh!!!! If it is a pack I will be find but if it is a program I will have to wait till I get home to start grinding to them. I wonder if this is what some people were expecting about it being a tiered collection maybe Trout is the start?
-
It says "grind for 99" so I'm thinking its stat grinds for the player programs.

Come on 3pm EST. I was just thinking i was out of stuff to work on.

So potential to add Ruth, Seaver, Hoffman and Longoria to our teams for free (grind)? Man that's awesome if true. All 4 of those cards would make my team. Can't wait to get home this evening.

Maybe a combination of total stat grind like '18....one million base hits with right fielders and 500,000 saves with right handers.
Good god those immortals were a grind.

Hate to bring pessimism. I think it looks awesome and all, BUT.... 2nd year in a row Hoffman doesn’t have a 99. What holds him back?

I always got lit up with Hoffman. So he is a pass for me.
But I will need to get Ruth, Seaver, Robert and "The Rajah". -

K/9. Same reason Glavine is a 95

He is a reliever granted Mo is a 99 but mo pitched in about 70 more games. His ERA is 2.21 to 2.87 Hoffmans. Not to mention post season stats. Granted Hoffman was plagued by playing for wearker teams but his era is 3.46 in 12 games. Mos is .70 in 96 games.

I didnt think they were as bad as the team epics. Those 200 IP with each team sucked.

All time 99s... Evan Longoria... Seriously?
-
As a Mets fan I'm fully prepared to sell my soul for that Seaver card

I remember Hoffman always folded in the big moments. Playoffs, All Star game (when it decided Home Field in the Playoffs) the dude would always crumble when it counted most.
Good numbers on a bad team mean nothing.
He was very good at times great. But his save totals are more of a product of longevity than anything. Besides saves are over rated.
