I was thinking about some more obscure cards and Tony Womack popped into my head, I'd enjoy his card probably.

'Cause we all know..more Diamonds are in order. Just can't have enuf.
At this point in the year, if a card ISN'T a diamond, no one's going to use it unless they have to (Events, BR).

That's absolutely correct...and think about it.

Womack's best year was 2004 when he had a 3.3 WAR.
That'd be comparable to ... 2019 Freddy Galvis.

I know it wouldn't a good card, I just really liked Womack when I was a kid for some reason. Prob be similar to Dee Gordon's gold card.

How much do card ratings really matter online? Isn’t online play based on user skill and not player ratings? Or am I wrong?

Neither. It’s based on RNG. Better ratings help favor RNG for you. There’s also glitchy swings that seem to make some players player better than their rating. But essentially it’s put the pci on the ball and see what the game wants to have happen (or completely miss the PCI and still might hit a HR… aka RNG)

Andrew Chafin for example had a great month, a lefty reliever and was part of a no hitter, is an example of a guy who would be more fun than Morton, how we always get like 7 versions of.
THIS, thank you. There are a lot of bozos on this thread trying to come off as funny and clever but this is my exact point. These guys I listed aren't the only one's having good months annually. The focus is always on these guys for some reason. Hell my man Reyes is an all star and can't even break a 73 bronze, really hope he gets the Cards TA3 all star.

I wish they’d dig a little deeper and use these opportunities for smaller market, less known players to get a card. Would help more people learn about some hidden gems on teams that don’t get much coverage. Save the “regular” Flashbacks for random headliners, TAs, Henchmen.
I got to say I am in love with the Bryan Reynolds POTM card that came out yesterday
Does he hit well enough to use in rs? I love switch hitters and thought he had a good swing

I mean, if we are being real, it's kind of all three, (though player ratings and RNG are essentially the same thing, higher power rating gives RNG a better chance to land a home run). The player rating/stats are the dice used to roll the numbers.

To the OP’s point.. Another player I talk about a lot about on the forum is Brad Hand.. He was 10 for 10 in saves last month.. Again a position of need in a Lefty Reliever, instead we get a Tommy Pham card ( no disrespect to him, I like him as a player) with an unusable swing… I’ve been playing DD since 16 and they’ve given Hand one diamond ( a finest last year)… Every year he’s a top 3-5 lefty reliever, a multiple all star, Since becoming a full time reliever has a sub 3 era, over a strike out an inning and a whip around 1.. Yet SDS seems to shut him out of getting diamonds.
