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.

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.
