<![CDATA[Topps Now cards]]>Assuming the cut-off is 3/29

First, the cards we likely wont get

Cards with diamonds already:
Saurez
Okamoto
Cease
Murakami
Lou Bob
Tucker
Kershaw
Wetherholt
Sanchez
Trout
Fried

WBC Gold:
Caissie

Potentially too big of a name:
Yelich

Probably in Spotlight:
DeLauter

So whats left?

Dom Smith
Andres Gimenez
Kevin Gausman
Justin Crawford
Kevin McGonigle
Carson Benge

I predict
Program: Gimenez, McGonigle
Pack: Smith, Benge, Crawford
Left out due to arbitrary card limit: Gausman

@Teak2112_MLBTS McGreevy threw 6 no hit innings last Saturday. Fried threw 8 shutout innings a couple nights ago.

Neither got an actual Topps Now card so they won't get one in game.

They could technically still be in play for a Spotlight card though as those are more under SDS's control I believe

I would like to see them rethink how they use Topps cards one of these years. The rookie, all star, second half hero etc sets are a bit stale. Maybe focus on the years instead? Have Topps decade captains that work on all 80s or 90s Topps Cards

In 2017, the "Inning Programs" equivalent featured Programs built around the card types.

Year started with Rookie programs for Chris Archer & Chipper Jones

Month later, programs released for Breakout Doug Drabek and Nelson Cruz

Month later, programs released for Impact Vets Roy Oswalt & Hanley Ramirez.

And so on and so forth.

And to be fair it does let them put a little baseball history into the cards, like today's Soler postseason one. I just would rather the cards not have the extra label on top of the Topps design sometimes

It is simply an article explaining how Diamond Dynasty works. So yeah, If people hated card collecting before they are still going to hate it now.

Decade captains may eventually be a nice idea but right now we have only 14 players from the 80s.

Like I said though, him getting one is about as safe a bet as you could make. Same with McGonigle

I will skip that moment. I am looking forward to Jansen retiring so we have a couple years of freedom from his [censored] shake.

I figured they would pack the Met instead of the tiger but could easily go the other way

I hope Benge's swing is as good as Dom's...
