I hope it's Jose Altuve, and he only reaches half the height of the cover.

I never understood that line of reasoning. So everybody else is not playing it the way it's supposed to be played? I mean if we go by that, then I vote for Charles Radbourn, Esquire.

i love watching guys like carlos gomez just as much as i love watching guys like jeter. to me, there are many ways to play the game. some have more passion than others. some people may get offended by a bat flip or whatever. to me, none of that matters.

but at the same time, there are some guys who take it too far. guys who need to be the center of attention at all times, never just shut-up and play. always come with drama. david ortiz comes to mind..or bryce harper or hanley ramirez. guys who think they are bigger than the game and couldnt give two ****s about respecting the game or the people who play/watch it. some guys just think they are God's gift to baseball.

like i said, i love watching guys who have passion. gomez does a bat flip after hitting a bomb? awesome and its great for the game because kids eat that stuff up....but at least he respects the game and doesnt act like an *** to opponents/teammates/the media. some guys take it too far and do it without hustling, without saying the right things to the media, .its just a professionalism that comes with being in the show..some guys have it, others dont.

If it ends up being a pitcher, it will probably be because they are highlighting pitching as a new feature.

Looks like it's Reggie Jackson. Could mean some sort of throwback mode...cool!

Played in less than 100 career minor league games

Notable remaining candidates (not all inclusive)
Madison Bumgarner
CLayton Kershaw
Felix Hernandez (I can't get an exact count on minor league games but it seems to be less than 100)

Notable players that do not meet above criteria:
Pablo Sandoval
Buster Posey
Albert Pujols
Mike Trout
Giancarlo Stanton

Also note that the 100 minor league games hint skews the candidate list almost entirely towards starting pitchers, since SPs don't start in many games relative to position players. An SP can spend 2 or 3 years in the minors and still not reach 100 games.

I'm not going to derail the thread and elaborate on why I view it the way I do. Its only my opinion.

While I doubt it's him, Yasiel Puig still meets the criteria

And he's a big MLB the show fan as well. Makes sense, but I agree highly doubt it's him.

This is like my favorite post of the week. If someone makes a full-fledged high-res cover out of this and posts it in the custom cover thread, I will love them forever.
