The options:
Goldschimdt - Another 1st baseman
Verlander - In-play but wouldn't be a high enough overall to be usable with his pitch mix
Altuve - They have never given him his MVP card.....unless he pulls a Sosa and has a 20 homer month, this ain't happening
Betts - No.....He just got a 95 overall. This card would be a 96-97 max.
Alonso - Would want to save him for HR Derby
Story - In-play but would need to be exagerated with contact to be worthwhile
Judge- No....his live series is 94 overallYeah, IRL Judge AL and Goldy NL are pretty much locks. But probably neither for MLB the Show. Like you said Altuve is out, just because, doesnt matter how much it is proven he had nothing to do with the Astros thing from 2017. But we sure could use a good 2nd baseman. Betts just got a nice card. It could actually be Story. While only maybe the 4th to 6th best POTM for May he may be a lightning card.
Altuve would be cool and so much fun, but I doubt it. SDS loves punishing and trolling astros fans, becaue after all its our fault the players and coaches cheated.
And those coaches are in Boston and Detroit now so all is good! Correa in Min, Springer in Tor, Gattis retired, Marisnik, Marwin Gonzales, Reddick and of course Beltran, the founder. But years later lets keep pressing Altuve who literally everyone, including teammates who have moved on have cleared. Altuve was a better hitter before all this BS than he is now. Now that he has old man strength he hits for more power, but he use to hit for very high avg and speed.

What i always thought was funny is that in 2017 the astros were by far a better road hitting team.

altuve looks to have a viable case
An Altuve POTM card would sure create alot of buzz around here.

Name a card that wouldn't. You're either looking at an altuve card, another firstbaseman, another Trevor Story, a sinkerless pitcher, or some completely random player.

He was playing on words there. Trying to dig something out of nothing like the Yankees did. Even though all have been proved silly since then.

Oh lol, buzz. What a joke, if people are going to give the astros [censored] for being the best of all the cheaters in 2017, you'd think they would atleast read the reports and know the facts.

They can give me a goated Devers, I’ll be happy
-
It won't be Story, already has an upgraded 91 overall card. Won't be Betts, already has a 95. Those things have to be taken into consideration. Honestly I'd say Goldy but he is another 1B and people would probably riot. I'd put my money on Judge or Devers.
-
Devers could make sense; I looooooove his FF card.

I know I am biased but I think if a player has earned it and the card will be an upgrade over anything that they currently have in the game then they should get it.
Let's face it, nobody would be happy if a player from their favorite team was disqualified simply because they played the same position as last months winner.
-
Goldy hands down May potm.
-
So even as a Red Sox fan, I agree Goldschmidt deserves it.
But not far behind him in most categories is Devers. Hopefully, he can put up a couple monster games to finish the month.
I guarantee the only people that will even care about a Goldschmidt card will be Cardinal fans.
But Devers?? Have you seen how few good 3B primary cards they're are currently? Most of the community would be thrilled with a May POTM Devers.
-
I recant my previous Verlander prediction, Betts
imo, they love Mookie, so I’ll say a 96 lightning card -
Altuve or Goldy Imo. I just hope it drops this Friday. Would be weird to drop it with week 1 of the June Monthly Awards program.

They’re going to drop 2 95 Mookies within a month? They might love Mookie and do some dumb stuff with content, but not that dumb.

Just today is left, and Betts looks to have solidified his case. If defense is taken into consideration, then his case for POTM is overwhelming. Him already getting a 95 card should have nothing to do with May POTM. This has nothing to do with "SDS's love for Betts", as he has earned every bit of it.

@notoriousheb_psn said in Trevor Story - May POTM:
Right now it is Aaron Judge by a landslide.
It won't be Story, he's only hitting. 237 in the month of May.
Judge leads MLB with 11 HR ... hitting .333 with 1.187 OPS to boot.
On the other hand JD Martinez is hitting .425, just not big power numbers. Acuna could get it for hit return from injury.... Martin Perez and Verlander in the mix with ERA of 0.64 and 0.70 WHIP of 1.02 and 0.74... unconventional but RPs Taylor Roger's and David Bednar are dominating with 10+ innings right now in May.
Right now I would say Judge and that card would be cracked.
Nah, Devers because they refuse to upgrade his card to a diamond. (83 OVL is disrespectful) He's gonna be the lightning player. Take that to the bank.
