C. Gary Sanchez (should have a 93 at least)
He has a 97 topps now card
Right, i forgot about that. My bad
I loved that 89 Gary Sanchez a lot. For some reason, I never really gave the 97 a chance. Probably because by then we had Adley, Yasmani, Piazza, Salvy HRD, Realmuto etc.
Thata probably why i forgot about it as well. Adley has been my catcher since his futures card came out.

Use all Commons and play on HOF or Legend
I just had a similar thought. I’m not playing on legend though.

Man, that missing Alomar card is killing you, isn’t it ( I have seen you reference it at least a dozen times). Don’t lose any sleep over it, you did freaking awesome for first year playing and you would never pay attention to that card if you had it.
Hahahaha, you're totally right. And I'm definitely not mad at SDS, just mad at myself for starting late haha. But you are right, I wouldn't use him anyway and considering how bad I was when I started, I definitely had a successful season. Thanks. You're one of the posters I followed a lot of advice from.
Oreo’s advice is top notch! I can’t count the number of times he has helped me. I’m grateful to count him as a friend and a mentor.

Use all the cards that people can't hit with and see what you can find. Willie Mays, Hank Aaron, Frank Thomas etc. I found out that I smash with the Big Hurt when most people don't. But don't try Barry Larkin, whatever you do, don't try Barry Larkin (hint hint)
Hahahaha, Larkin is my NL Central shortsop and leadoff hitter and as the saying goes....Larkin Rips.....I mean is terrible, thanks for the hint.
I like this idea. Frank Thomas is a perfect example of somebody I used for a while and then somebody else took his spot. I'm always using either Miggy or Fielder as my AL Central 1B. But Thomas and some of these other names are definitely worth considering.
Try Eddie Murray at 1st too. You won’t be disappointed. Luckily for me, I got Pujols just as Murray hit P5, so I stuck Albert there to work on him. Murray is a diamond fielder (although, I don’t remember if he was when I first began working on him) and a switch hitter.

So I think I wanna create a whole new roster of players that I haven't used much or at all and grind the US Map 1 more time. I have every card except Alomar. I have not used many of the cards released since TA5 started because I built my teams for that program and have used those pretty exclusively. Sooooo, who should I add? Basically looking for who your favorite players in the game are (specifically newer ones).
Feel free to add a name and copy and paste.

Silver Slugger Trevor Story
You would reccomend the awards card over HRD correct? Or are they more pr less the same I've? I've been meaning to try one and since I asked, he'll get a spot.
Either or. I prefer the awards simply because of defense and speed.

I've thought about trying to see what kind of teams I could make if I allowed myself only 1 player per diamond rating from 85-99 in the line up and bench, along with the same 85-99 for SP+bullpen. So 1x 99, 1x 98, 1x 97, etc. for each. I think it would be interesting to see how different the squads would end up.

That's a cool idea. I like it. So you're still using all diamond cards but not just 99s. I enjoy drafting in BR because of the strategy involved and this has that kind of feel but with all good cards. Nobody can have Trout, Griffey, Mantle etc.
Plus you could do lineup 92-99 and Bench 87-91.

Use all Prospects. Free the doppelgangers.

I just got this card. I love it got him in the middle with Trea Turner’s finest. I just started BR. Didn’t realize how easy it is to complete. good cards.

Awesome! Highly recommend him. He just about stands on top of the plate so you might need to get used to him but you'll be happy to have him.
