I agree, Hank or a few others, why does it have to be a switch?

Because thats what the meta is, and its unlikely they make their last gasp at making money a non meta card

Ben Zobrist was the last collection card, chosen solely because he is a switch hitter with a good swing.

@Bridge-Piece_XBL it just seems so weird for them to make a “legend and flashback” collection a current year finest card. But fits the mold of this years game.

You could be right but technically Finest Cards are Flashbacks.

Everybody seems convinced it will be a switch hitter. There are only a few of those left on the legend side without 99 cards. The most notable being Biz Mackey and Ted Simmons. I am not sure either of of those names have wide enough appeal to be essentially the most expensive cards in the game.

If they go with a non switch hitter then it would need to be a really big legend. There are several of those left with players like Hank Aaron and Lou Gehrig being in that list.

@WolfgangMLB_XBL Yea I don't think it will be him, I just remembered him and was wondering where he's been out loud.

Yeah, they never put him the game late cycle. It has to be intentional.

The more I think about it the more I am convinced it will be finest Elly. Looking at his stats he had his best hitting year so far, his strikeouts were down and his walks were up.

People ask about him every new drop and he only has a 94 so far. Add in the switch hitter component and this week being all about Finest and I think it is pretty likely

I think this is solid logic and Elly certainly fits their mold for meta player switch hitter collection reward.

Corner outfield seems like the weakest spot to me. Theres not many options that combine elite speed and batting. Lots of sluggers who play mediocre outfield.

I’ve been running Chili and Mantle at those spots, now rotated to Reynolds and zobrist . Reynolds actually plays great out there with a speed/fielding mod. I agree tho we need some more elite corner outfielders. Really missing ol Tim Raines this year.

I could see a maxed out Pujols or Hernandez even though some people would probably dislike that.

I would love a maxed Pujols

We all would but it is highly unlikely that they make both of his usable cards collection rewards. I would not be happy at all

What about as an Extreme reward? That's what they did with Roger Clemens last year, a collection then an extreme.

I can see it. Would prefer Biz but your logic makes sense.

He's a switch hitter so I can definitely see it

Fernando Valenzuela

Good call and very possible. Only thing working against that theory is they always skip him for end game cards. I’m guessing because his pitches are so ridiculous it would mess the game up with maxed out per 9s.

I know many are just sluggers, but I feel totally overloaded with outfielders lately to the point where I could run three different teams and still have guys i'd like to play not getting a run.
