Say what you want but we have not a single player card in the player of month program and 14 flashbacks. Cron has the best month of any player and instead they give the upgrades to two other first baseman who had a significantly worse month
2k drops Friday so good time to delete app
I normally don't buy in to these conspiracy theories about them hating teams but for Cron to not be included at all is a bit ridiculous.
I mean c'mon, Naquin is the Reds 5th POTM card. It's not that he is not deserving of a card but to give the reds a 5th card while overlooking a player on a team that has none. Just seems wrong.
Honestly I don't know what they are doing with come of those picks.
Louis Robert did not even play enough to be a qualifying player in August
Ty France and Frank Schwindel was outplayed by Goldy in Aug so I can only assume Goldy will get a SS card soon
If Cron does not get a finest or some type of boosted card then this was just a snub, pure and simple.

They just announced Vinny Castilla. That should be a good thing for you.

You got your wish Speedy!!

Cron will be the Finest card for sure.

While I am stoked about Vinny as a Rockies fan... To see another Ty France with his basically unplayable speed and dismissing Cron just feels wrong in my opinion. Cron had a better average, nearly 2x as many HR and more than double the RBI... And, you know, he was the actual POTM in the NL.

Cron deserved it which is why he most likely will be the Finest Card for Colorado.
Wainwright deserved it over Ray, but they dropped his Sig Series so that meant he was not going to get it. -

Very nice breakdown thanks for sharing here. The issue isn’t that we can still get a Cron card in our team affinity for sure. The issue is we have zero player of the month cards thus far which combined with very few usable cards we did get this year makes this a kick in the nuts. Teams that get way more upgraded like Boston don’t need two more dam cards and team affinity four and the new event rewards. They care less to spread the love between the haves and have nots

Don't worry brother they hate the giants also
-
That’s true. But it also seems like God hates the Rockies too, so there’s that.
-
Bruh they can add a 99 over all David Nied I bet he had some game they could justify it for lol. Like some of these bootleg Topps nows
-
Hell they could put a monk 99 overall for the game as a senior in high school he hit 2 bombs and went 4-4 …. Topps nooooow come on iiiiin.

I agree, there are obviously teams that have way more history which makes it easier to release various cards. That's why Topps and POTM exist, to capture a player in a great hot streak regardless of how little history the team has. This months players look great but I really think it should have been Cron, Waino (got the PO sig Series instead), Salvy (already has an AS, 42, HRD and LS card), S Marte (not sure why he wasn't in there) and Ray could've been an earlier reward.
I do think Castilla is a big win and may make a lot of people's bench. I dont do the "one squad to rule them all" thing so I will definitely use him a bunch.
