Looks to me like he's from the new program, not the collection
-
@Alimathus_PSN I just saw that too.
Edit.i just saw another instagram post that he is the collection.

Can't wait until he gets a 110 overall card for his 2004 Cardinals season when he outperformed his 2000 season by almost every single offensive metric.

So Rolen was the one everyone was talking in the chat.....was this the same chat I saw....and both in a program and collection reward......what exactly have they been eating and drinking.....why either or even both? Totally mind blowing

So a 99 Rolen is the collection reward. First 99 besides the LSCollection… What worries me is it’s a Gold Glove Card. I’m praying they didn’t inflate all his defensive stats to get him to a 99 and leave his hitting stats with much to be desired..
-
Ok, I guess releasing two Rolen's makes sense now that he is a 99. I was thinking it would be a 95 which is why I didn't think there would be two so close in attributes.
Here are the ratings: https://x.com/MLBTheShow/status/1915806178183192747

I am guessing his power number will be a little low for a 99 and of course their favorite thing to do is lower vision.
This was not his best overall offensive season, or even his best Phillies Season. If they plan on releasing one of those years later on then they would need this one to be restrained. If they do release like a 2004 Cardinals version it would not be until after the season, maybe a Retro Finest.
-
At least it’s a 99. Hope his swing is good.
-
Here are his attributes. Much better than I expected and leaves little room for an eventual 99 Cardinals version when he had better stats across the board.
LOL, somebody on Twitter/X called this card "Mid"

Is it an exciting collection reward name wise? No. But hard to argue with a 99 and those stats for the first big collection.

The 87 is a Reds card, the 99 is Phillies. That's why both.

@GooseOnEm_PSN Sure, but now what do you do with Headley? DH?

I’ll worry about that when I get Headley
I still need Ohtani and Tatis.. -
@GooseOnEm_PSN I’d bet that people who don’t have Headley won’t have Rolen for a while either though.
-
Rolen is not the best name but they really did him right with those attributes. You know he was going to have great fielding (that is what I remember him for) but those hitting attributes are nice. They also gave him some speed which I never really thought he had atleast when he was with the Cardinals. I will hold off futher judgement until I see what we need for the collection. Infield is actually pretty good this year, having trouble getting my quartet of switch hitters in the lineup as is (Jram, Marte, Lindor and DeLaCruz not to mention DeVries), so I might not be in a hurry to pick him up anyway.
-
@GooseOnEm_PSN Ya we hate hall of fame third baseman that was (arguably) the best to field his position in the game. Huge L sds...we could have had Adonis Garcia or Rio Ruiz!
-
Honestly, I'm stoked for Rolen. Grew up watching him. I'll take him over Arenado or Machado any day of the week. (Personal Preference of Course)
-
@GoozeFn_PSN although it’s a Flashbacks and Legends collection, so LS may not be required. But they should demand the Reds, Cards, Jays and Phillies collections just for fun.
And sadness.
