Unless they completely separate this card from reality, it won’t have 80+ power though. What made Alomar amazing in 17 was the 99 scale that kept his power reasonable (and very few other decent options at 2b). I see this card as a second base clone of Rollins without the ability to prestige.

I'm gonna take a wild guess and say he'll have 85ish power versus righties and 80-83 versus lefties. 125 contact vs righties, 105 vs lefties.

His power splits are almost identical to Rollins MVP year. I don’t see how they could give Alomar 80 power based on his 1999 gold glove season.

Well they gave him mid 80s power on the 99 scale back in 17. If you translate that to the 125 scale he would have 100 power. But we both know that's not happening, I think the numbers I mentioned are very reasonable but I guess we'll find out.

Just coming on to gloat a bit that I called it. Essentially Rollins at 2b

For sure. I'm disappointed with his contact numbers as well not gonna lie. This card turned out to be an easy pass for me.

I’m gutted too, you know how I am with Alomar, I’ll buy him anyway, Wagner too, but if this is to be his best card, it’s disappointing. As you mentioned earlier in the thread, the shift from 99 to 125 power scale has ruined cards like Alomar and Rollins, albeit the stats now more accurately reflect the player, which was SDS intention when moving to 125. It’s just that when they give the future stars and so on such juiced stats that they’re probably never going to deserve, a barely useable version of a favourite legend does leave a bitter taste in light of that kind of comparison.

Couldn't have said it better. Angels are my favorite team and Adell seems like he's averaging a hat trick every time I look at the Angels game log.
