Hello everyone I just wanted to bring up a point aabout Tino Martinez as a new legend. By the way I am a Yankees fan an I loved tino when he played. Why the hell would SDS go and get another yankee first basemen who is a leftie that kills righties. There were so many better options for Yankees legends who’s rights were probably similiar prices such as Bernie Williams, Chuck Knaublock, Paul O Neil, Alfonso Soriano (I pray to god he comes into this game), Andy Pettite, David Wells, Thurman Munson, David Cone, and even Mark Teixeira would ha be been good because he’s a switch with good power vs both sides. Notice none of these people were all time greats because people like DiMaggio and Jeter would be pre launch marketing type players and cost way to much to obtain mid season so I am being realistic. In my opinion this was a terrible legend to add to the game because we already have Giambi and Mattingly who are the same and both on the Yankees. And besides Yankees there’s Mccovey and many more lefty batters who are first basemen righty killers. Any of the legends I mentioned would have been much better choices and I think most people will agree. Lastly the only hope for this Tino card is that he was rights were a packaged deal with the other good Yankees from the 90s who were always great but never Jeter or Rivera caliber. We have seen this in the past because when Babe Ruth’s rights came into the game in 18 a few more old time legends came with him.
Mattingly does not have the same power and I don't even think he is in the game yet. Giambi cost about 200k stubs and those stubs have to be locked in where as you can sell Tito once that card becomes irrelevant. Giambi also has garbage defense
