The Ketel is amazing.
I really like Mookie and Altuve too.
I’ve been meaning to try Nolan Gorman. Thanks for reminding me.Good list btw I can agree on all those guys except Ryan Howard. I think they did him dirty.

I'll be honest I haven't had many at bats with Howard yet but I've enjoyed him so far and I used his Cover card at the beginning of the year, I think it might be his swing is very long which can be hard to hit with.

I will try Matt Carpenter’s topps now, his cards are always great

I haven’t gotten that far in the program to get him yet but I’ve always loved his cards. Great swing and versatile. Plays a good 2b too.
-
Umm, entire Allstar and HR derby cards.. basically juiced up Live series cards for 10-15k a card
-
Austin Martin is one of the best cards under 15k
Reid Detmers FS is pretty good and 11k I think
The Escobar TN is a beast
Harrell III FS is well rounded contact/power/ speed
Jeter Downs TN is a good cheap card
All the AS cards are good and cheap - specifically I think Gimenez, Arraez, Verlander, Jose Ramirez are good value -

Escobar is easily one of my favorite cards out of any card. Even high dollar cards.
I love Gimenez….Arraez not so much.
Nice list
-
I’ll add that this Jose Miranda MA card is 50k now, but that price should come down to 25k or so and it looks like an awesome card that has good positional versatility and decent speed (for a corner IF) to go along with a nice swing and hitting attributes
-
Contreras, Ortiz, Soriano, Dansby, Devers, J-Rod ASG, Dominguez, Harper.
Miller, Feller, Sandy, Fernando, Ashby.
-
Ok I finally got POTM program Matt Carpenter and he’s insane just like I thought he would be.

I love all those cards. Soriano is Really good but I didn’t think he was budget but I guess he is now. Good picks.

If Devers counts, Yordan does too. I don’t really count the lightning guys as budget bc even though they are technically free, you could sell the tops now guys or the low diamonds for over 150k and just not complete the program. Plus, you have to buy one or more of the low diamonds to complete stage 2 I think. But, Yordan is the best bat in the game. Jesse Winker was essentially the same card last year. They are both disasters in LF, but the bat makes it totally worth it. I think I have 55 hits with him, and 45 are extra base hits. I think 38 are long balls. Plus you get walks like crazy bc no one wants to pitch to him.

I have to add
J.T Realmuto Monthly (heres the annual great Realmuto card i've been waiting for) and
Ramon Urias Monthly (this card rakes) -

You know I actually forgot about Yordan. Good call. I don’t even think he’s that bad in left compared to Stanton or Soto as far as fielding goes

You can complete the MA programs without buying any cards.

Yeah you’re right, I just noticed that doing the July one tonight. I guess I usually buy a couple to get it done quicker. If you didn’t want the lightning or flashback guy though, you could make 300k+ selling these guys when the program is new.
The MA programs are cool though. If you bought the game today, you could have a decent team just completing the July program

Yeah Liocer Is pretty good. I tell you who I think it’s REALLY good is Noveli Marte. I just think he’s considered budget but he’s really good
