Schwabs is getting a card in this program. Also Bryan Reynolds is getting one
But Edwin Diaz should have over Walker's SP card.

I’m hoping for a Jon Gray mid tier POTM and a Topps Now Chad Kuhl.

That’s true. Diaz is a beast.

Alvarez will replace Ruth in my outfield. Haven't played well with him anyway. I'll move Springer to RF and have Alvarez in LF. His arm should be great especially after the throw he made last night.

Jon Gray gets a 95 (the higher tier) for June.
The Topps now for this week already announced. Its Aaron Hicks, Cristian Javier, Isaac Paredes and Michael Chavis (unless you are expecting Kuhl in a future topps now release)

Clase please

Funny since Schwarber was legit named player of the month yet they give the in game honor to another player sounds about right. Can't see me diving in for just another outfielder since it's already a crowded position as is.
Umm, so was Yordan, and he crushed Schwarber. There is no MLB player of the Month, only NL and AL. But if there was an MLB it would be Yordan not Schwarber.

Timeout....why not grind for every available stub free card in the game?????

Alvarez was better all around hitter, and won AL player of the month.

Did the catcher from Toronto get a card?

No, he'll probably get a jacked up all star card though in a few weeks.

Cool I hope so. Astros short stop needs a card too

He may or may not be the best pick, I honestly don't know, but do we have to have a Yankee in every card drop?
Even the SDS guys were making cracks in the last stream about how many Yankee cards were being introduced.

[censored], really wanted Schwarber. Better swing, better secondary positions, and his LS is a silver where Yordan already has a diamond.
Schwaber wouldn't have C as a secondary this year if he was the lightning card. His LS card this year doesn't have C as a secondary so his lighting card wouldn't either.
This is the best outcome as Schwarbers lightning card from last year could return as a classics card later in the year with C as a secondary
Right, but at least he plays 1B on top of OF.

I'm guessing he will get the Mets All Star card in a few weeks. DeGrom and Scherzer have options for other awards cards and such, Alonso will have HR Derby card to Diaz as AS.

TL;DR: No clue on what criteria is, but Yankee cards are probably easy to market (plus they seem to have a lot of big moments/good or great players pass through the organization).
I really have no idea what goes into the selections of which Topps now cards to feature. I'd like to think there's a consideration for positional balance (2 IFs, 1 OF, 1 P) and maybe BR usefulness? As a 91, he'll at least be a viable BR option for one of the low diamond rounds along with Chavis/Paredes. Javier will likely only see use in Astro fan rotations or for Topps now Xp grind for POTM.
On the other hand regarding number of Yankee cards (even excluding topps now) is probably just a combo of NYY being a popular franchise (and easy to "market") and there being a lot of good/great players that have played there at some point. It allows SDS to give out a lot more cards. John Smoltz being an a great example of "how many of the same player do we need". Atleast with a guy like say Reggie...you get at least 2 useful versions (PS NYY, MVP OAK)
EDIT: Not to say the Yankees don't have their share of overly used players...I know Gehrig already has 2, Rivera has 2 (and you can bet both will get 99s at some point) but it just seems like a lot of players have really good seasons at some point in their careers with the Yanks.
I mean -- take a guy like Mussina...his Sig card should be an Oriole but instead they made it a NYY Card and put it as the ALE collection. But if they did that, then there's really no option for a Yanks Mussina (Vet card?)
Sorry for the long post.

I mean isn't the argument we also have so many left handed hitting players that can play first base.
In the end he still got one for this set so all is well in the world

I like his swing and would find a way to work him into my lineup any way possible. I'm sure I'll love this card, and will use it way more than YA.
