Reminds me more of the Fleer cards from the early 90s instead of the Donruss Diamond Kings:

You are right. The art reminded me of the Penny Hardaway card form the mid 90's, and turns out that was a Fleer card. They were certainly known more for their caricatures.

It seems wrong and criminal that there's all of these national commercials during the games featuring a bunch of MLB players, yet Baez is in none of them.

 

I mean, there's no Cubs in them period because I guess they're mostly a bunch of Q-rating duds, but no Baez seems genuinely egregious.

Reasons not to move Baez off SS:

 

1. He's producing top-3 MVP caliber level 2 years running.

2. His defense has improved dramatically at SS once he was left alone there.

3. His offense has improved dramatically since he stopped moving around so much.

4. He makes plays at SS Russell can't make. Far stronger arm.

5. His most outstanding defensive trait (that arm) is wasted at 2B.

6. Baez is a lock to play every day, Russell is not. That means if you put Russell back at SS Javy has to move every day contingent on whether Russell starts.

7. There's absolutely no reason Russell should be a default regular, based on his offensive output the past two seasons.

8. Russell is a domestic abuser who sent child support payments in coins just to prove what a pile he is, and should have been released.

9. You'd have to be crazy to move Baez off SS. Seriously.

 

Reasons to move Baez off SS:

 

1. Guys shouldn't lose their jobs due to injury, or suspension for being a domestic abuser who sent child support payments in coins. Or sucking.

Pretty sure he's telling that random Japanese pitcher whose name he doesn't know to get the horsefeathers out and not the actual baseball
