Basically 'plays for Toronto'

Meanwhile Turang, Edwards, and Lowe all didnt even make the NL team....

Wait does that mean that the program today is just the takeover program?

That has been the educated guess since Friday when they updated the blog.

Cool I guess. Their description was

to an all-new Takeover featuring a phenom from the “Great White North”

Phenom?

Similar low K rate, but higher walk rate. Similar power except for a 25 HR outlier year. Oh and he hit .310+ 4 of those 5 years including a batting title. Only knock compared to Clement was slightly above average defense, whereas Clement is historically a very good defender.

Jeff McNeil never received a card higher than a 97 as far as I am aware. To this day SDS treats him like trash and only gives him a token early year card while ignoring his past.

Yet here is Ernie Clement being a cover athlete.

I get he had a historic playoff run last year, but there are guys having a better year with no cards.
