    Has there been any indication of what the POTM programs for this year will be like? I thought last year's were good. Not sure if they'll stick to the same approach. I've bought every Topps Now card in preparation. Of course, last year's program included enough packs to actually earn each card through playing. But the buildup cards were good, too (were there more there last year than in the past, I can't recall).

    I'm guessing we're potentially looking at possible cards of:

    Hitters: JD Martinez, Vlad Guerrero, maybe Buxton (but the fact he just went diamond slows me on this one), maybe an Ohtani hitter card, Justin Turner, Kris Bryant, Rafael Devers, Nick Solak, Jared Walsh, Mitch Haniger, Carson Kelly, Rhys Hoskins, Jesse Winker, Franmil Reyes

    Pitchers: Tyler Glasnow, Corbin Burnes, Danny Duffy, John Means, Trevor Rogers, Freddy Peralta, Mark Melancon, Craig Kimbrel, James Karinchak, Emmanuel Clase (there is that whole suspension thing), Richard Rodriguez, Matt Barnes, Chad Green, Josh Staumont, Ryne Stanek, Giovanny Gallegos.

    There are some guys that are already diamond that deserve one, but don't they usually try to pick from the non-diamonds? If I recall, it's rare for someone already a diamond to be in the POTM unless it just can't be ignored how good they were.

    EDIT: I apparently skipped over Means name on your list and the site won’t let me delete my comment.

    You must not watch the Orioles. Cedric Mullins and John Means are SDS’ favorite type of picks for the POTM programs. Random players with lower rated live cards that had a great month deserving of a special card, but not justifying an increase to the live card. Betcha anything one of the two gets a card.

    Yeah, Means has been awesome. He’s on my fantasy team.

    It’s a shame that Mike Trout won’t even be in consideration despite coming off the best month of his career.

    I know, but it makes sense that they pick guys without diamonds (or good diamonds).

    I’ll be curious to find out how the program is laid out and who gets cards. I think it’s kind of an unknown right now.

    And JD does have that diamond flashback, so maybe that takes him out of the running. If I had to venture a guess, I think Burnes is the final Diamond with Vlad, Ohtani OF card, Carson Kelly, Mark Melancon and maybe Danny Duffy get cards.

    Buxton may be the only live series diamond that has a shot, but don't think it likely. Remind me, did they do exchanges last year? And I think you had to complete the Topps Now collection correct?

    I already know how it’ll go. They’ll announce it, have a twitch stream, people will turn on their consoles, and not be able to connect to the servers.

    It’s understandable that Trout wouldn’t get picked. That all makes sense. Plus, a PotM Trout wouldn’t be much different than the regular one.
