He's going to get a Finest 99. What other Pirate deserves it?
The good news is there's no chance the Pirates sneak into the Playoffs and he gets one that way!

Jansen was AL reliever of the month 0.00 era . No spotlight.

Finest is a very long time away, and in a time where most people will have dropped the game. A 99 Skenes in August makes sense. But they don't tend to give guys like Skenes spotlight cards
-
I mean…..Skubal got a lightning card. They could have gone with Skenes
-
I’m probably the biggest Pirates fan around this board and I have zero problem with this decision. As @SaveFarris_PSN noted he is absolutely the only Finest option for the Buccos and I like the diversity of the cards more than I want another Skenes.
-
I really hope they do Finest right like 2023 with over 100 cards, but I assume it will be mailed in like last year. So yeah, Skenes will be the only Pirates finest. In November, which is a long time to only have a 96.
But that 96 is recent so end of the month makes more sense.
And 'card variety' isn't a valid excuse because the programs are always about 5-10 cards shorter than they should be. SDS needs to stop being lazy. Did none of those Negro League guys have a great outfield arm?

It could be worse.
They could be a Rockies fan -
@SaveFarris_PSN I am not.

@Teak2112_MLBTS I was only stating my personal preference on the variety. It was never offered as an SDS excuse. I can understand your POV, but I don’t think it was anything more than a decision by SDS.
