Braves- Max Fried
Phillies- Kyle Schwarber
Mets- Edwin Diaz or Pete Alonso
Marlins- Sandy Alcantara
Nationals- um.....Nelson Cruz?NL Central-
Cardinals- Nolan Arenado
Cubs- Ian Happ
Reds- Alexis Diaz
Pirates- Bryan Reynolds
Brewers- Willy Adames or Devin WilliamsNL West-
Rockies- Daniel Bard
Padres- Manny Machado
Dodgers- Freddie Freeman
Giants- Logan Webb
Diamondbacks- Christian Walker, Zac Gallen or Daulton VarshoYou don’t think Jeff McNeil will get one over the other Mets? Didn’t he get the NL batting title?
-
I like the picks. Not many I would disagree with. Last year they also had packs, so we could see some of the teams get two players. It will also be interesting to see how they handle the Phillys and Astros cards.
-
Let’s go deGrom!!
-
I know Reynolds is the pick for Pittsburgh, but I'd like them to juice Keller or Contreras, just to have a different pitcher.

I was thinking because McNeil just had a POTM in August but actually Diaz and Alonso both got 97s for Home Run Derby and the All Star Program so yeah, I think you're right.

Or like you said considering all those guys have gotten higher cards maybe they give it to Scherzer. He bombed in the postseason but he did have a great regular season

I know people won’t want that card because he isn’t a power hitter. What do you think about deGrom or Mad Max? They didn’t get cards yet right? The Mets have a lot of players, man.
I also asked sent you a PM, I was just curious if you used Vlad Guerrero from the program. I haven’t had a chance yet and I know I have used him in the past, but I don’t remember how he was.
-
I hope it’s not Nate Lowe for the Rangers. That’s the same finest from 21. I think the choices are limited. Lol
-
1st card-
Julio Rodriguez 99. Card art looks clean. -

I saw you had Devers down for your guess for Boston, I think he is the most deserving, do you still stick with that guess? -

His POTM was great for a lot of people early on so I imagine this would be very popular. I'm actually gonna edit my picks down to one per team to see how many I get right.
This is a definite W.

I hope you pick some good winners. I would like a Corbin Burns, his card was one of my favorite Finest last year. I don’t think he had a season like last year’s Cy Young Award season though.
The card art does look clean, nothing too busy in there. I actually really like the look of this year’s Signature cards too. I think they were my favorite, they didn’t release too many though.

I just hope they mix it up and give us some more younger, lesser known talent. I understand the meaning behind the program but us getting a 3rd or 4th usable card for some of these players is just lame.

I agree, I wish they would tweak it slightly.
Example- for the Orioles the obvious Finest would be Mountcastle. But I'm sure everyone wants Adley. But he wasn't the Finest. Maybe it good be favorite of the Franchise? So....I hope we get a good mixture or star, vets and new talent.
Also, what happened to their Twitter hype team? 1 tweet yesterday with JRod. None today. They still haven't announced the BR Finest reward. Come on marketing... I'm bored and need my reveals.

They could do Mountcastle as the Finest and eventually drop the FS Adley. I don’t think we have gotten a better Adley than the 91 prospect card yet have we?

As an O’s fan I don’t want Mountcastle. If it’s not Adley then give us Cedric Mullins. He led the team in hits so it wouldn’t be a stretch.

What makes Mountcastle the obvious finest for Baltimore? The only stats Mountcastle was better in are a result of him having 150 more AB's than Adley. Adley is getting 2nd in ROY and is Baltimore's best player
