Second Candidate For MLB 13 The Show Cover is CC Sabathia

[Clarke99]

Sure Trout is a J/A but so is harper dont care if hes a nice guy to SCEA doesnt mean he isnt a super douche as well along with Brett Lawrie.
Theyre young and have tons of money and are considered to be the next big things, I suppose it could happen to any kid.
AAAANYWAYS, CC Sabathia not really all that great and seems to be declining. but since hes in the biggest market I could see him winning due to what team he plays for unfortunately.

Actually Harper was a really nice guy when I got his autograph in Milwaukee.

You have to remember also some players are not interested in being a cover athlete or do not play video games. Some don't want to offer up the time necessary to be a cover athlete.

That's what I've heard too, he's a different guy off the field. The 19U summer team I was on a couple of years ago played against Harper in a tournament the year before and the guys who were still on the team said the same thing.

The problem is that guys are confusing "cover of the game" with "MVP award."

This "honor" has far more to do with personality and marketability as it does with their most recent performance. Josh Hamilton could break half the records in the book but I'd bet good money he won't be on the cover of any game, any time soon.

Haven't seen a pitcher on The Show in ever. Would be nice to see one, but I don't know if Sabathia should be the guy (two years ago this would have been a different story).

I wonder who the other three are. Any west coast love, perhaps?

Have you met Trout? I have met him MANY times and he is the definition of a class act. Always so friendly and is great to his fans. I have had WAY worse experiences with Cabrera and Posey!

I know there was one guy screaming east coast bias and calling for Trout in a thread. I guess it wasn't you! M.K. Knight165

That was me!
