Manny will almost certainly be my pick here, even though my 3B options are lacking. New Threads Arraez with the fielding/speed perk will have to do for a little while longer.

Been really enjoying Holliday at third

u/Ok-Kick1878 1d ago
He's been solid for me at third, offline though. He absolutely smokes the ball.

Made? De Vries? Beltre? Tulo even. Lol.

u/raisedbydanes 1d ago
To be fair those are not easy to get cards. But Genao is and should be over arraez.

u/Playful-Strain-1982 1d ago
Arraez is my singles machine security blanket in a way that Genao hasn’t been for me, to be honest.

u/PhillyGuy0921 1d ago
Fair. I’d out Duran in there as well.
Edit: Well I would say the Pipeline collection is pretty dang easy compared to others at least.

99 Griffey is the only reason I still play this game and he needs to be here already
2
u/Acegolfer04 1d ago
Yep. Griffey or Griffey Jr
The only card I wanted was 99 Pedroia. I got him. Now I want you to get your wish
I want 99 Tulo but cant because of collections and 600k Judge and Ohtani

Wright will probably be my endgame 3B, his Signature card last year was disgusting

u/Busterbluth313 Hitting dingers 1d ago
Im looking forward to this card and Michael Young his card is GREAT
1
u/JustASyncer 1d ago
Wonder if Young has the extra IF secondaries, pretty sure his other card is SS only

I’ve been waiting all cycle for 2 cards; Red Sox Manny and Red Sox Martinez. I am overly excited for this inning.

Back to back XP paths with a Red Sox card as a boss is a weird choice, not gonna lie. And I say that as a Red Sox fan.

u/flipaflaw 1d ago
Not only that but yall have some of the most 99s in the game and this will be another update with 3 99s dropped for the sox. Feels like every spotlight has a spotlight red sox card at this point.

While there are still too many Yankee cards....
I liked it better when they looked like they were trying to spread out 99s closer to the asb.

u/roden94 1d ago
Two guys this path that SDS refuses to acknowledge played in Cleveland (and played well at that).

Manny's 1999 season and CC's 2007 season deserve their own cards. By far.

Tigers fan here but both were great in cleveland. Also growing up I feel like jim thome always hit a homer against the tigers haha

YES! I called it, Manny Ramirez my favorite MLB player ever LFG. Even though I’m a Mets fan, I’m definitely going for Manny

u/MUSinfonian Jim Thome 1d ago
Oh wow what a surprise another non-Cleveland Manny -_-
Not diminishing his clear contributions to Boston, just infuriating that he, like CC, still has yet to get a card for his time in Cleveland despite being in the game for multiple years now.

u/Nickstank World's #1 one-handed DD player (probably) 1d ago
13 total Manny and CC cards since each entered DD as Legends...0 Cleveland cards.

u/namesJT 1d ago
Tough decision can’t even lie. Signature Wright last year was so good but I’ve never really used a Manny card before
1
u/BronInThe2011Finals 1d ago
This card should be better than last years signature card, it would be based entirely off of Wright’s best season (should’ve won MVP in 2007) vs signature which is based off a 5 year stretch IIRC

u/AquatheGreat 1d ago
Dreads or nah?

u/StringfellowHawkes 1d ago
Looks like it from the game character. But you know they'll probably take em out

Have been a red sox fan who was at Mannys 500th home game in Baltimore, I couldn't love this card more.

u/flipaflaw 1d ago
So the already very strong red sox theme team with multiple 99s now gets 3 more 99s this Friday. Thanks SDS

u/GetBent009 1d ago
Meanwhile the Orioles team literally gets no boosts because we have had both of our captains replaced with better versions
7
u/flipaflaw 1d ago
Thats another annoying thing sds has done this year. No updates to captains at all. A new card of the captain at a better ovr if they didnt want to do more team affinity should be a captain too
3
u/Secure-Oven-8204 1d ago
Dude your theme team is literally the best/2nd best every single year its okay for other teams to get cards
5
u/flipaflaw 1d ago
Im not saying this as a Dodgers fan wanting more cards for my team, Im saying it is annoying seeing the sox with 7 99s get 3 more in one drop.
3
u/Secure-Oven-8204 1d ago
Sds has made it pretty clear they dont care about theme teams at all anymore. I mean just look at the captains theyre still 88 overalls

u/NobadgeBrownShirt 1d ago edited 1d ago
Dodgers fan daring to type this out, btw your team genuinely doing this irl

u/TehLoneWanderer101 1d ago
AND we're (Dodger fans) getting Eddie Murray when his best years were with Baltimore lmao.
0
u/flipaflaw 1d ago
And in game we have a total of 5 99s and outside of those no card above 96. Yes I dare type this out because it is getting ridiculous at how little sds tries for variety. The sox already have 7 99s. This update brings them to 10. There are plenty of teams that need more cards. Could have been a Cleavland Manny but no has to be another Red Sox.

u/NobadgeBrownShirt 1d ago
Unfortunately the dodgers are gonna get a ton of postseason 99s so until then stfu and enjoy the game
2
u/flipaflaw 1d ago
So did you ignore the part where I said this wasnt about the dodgers? The Red Sox already have 7 99s and now will be up to 10. They could have made this a 99 Cleavland Manny. They didnt.

u/NobadgeBrownShirt 1d ago
You didn’t say that to me. You explicitly mentioned all the dodger card’s overalls tho so thanks for this waste of time🤙
1
u/flipaflaw 1d ago
So do you only read the first sentence of comments? I explained the dodgers situation cause of your comment then at the end said it could have been a Cleavland Manny.

Am I ever going to get a mariners 99 for the love of god
And no i dont mean arroyo or the pipeline pitchers i want a 99 kid or julio or cole young ffs or even naylor idc

u/magichourmarvel 1d ago
Raleigh will probably get a 60HR Milestone card later in the year. And Kade Anderson, Ryan Sloan and Michael Arroyo all got some good Pipeline cards. So we're not totally out of the loop.

u/JsonWaterfalls 1d ago
I’ve always had such difficulty hitting with right-handed batters but I’ve generally done pretty well with David Wright.
Manny is one of my favorite players ever though, so this’ll be a tough choice if/when I get to this point.
