Lance Berkman. All walks and few hits lead to a .226 AVG. Dumped him from two teams, and I will never draft him again in this set.
The pitching competition online is a little stiffer than the league set as a whole. It's my guess that these high OBP .270 hitter types are supposed to pick up hits off league average pitchers in order to produce the correct replay stats. The problem is that in these 12 team leagues, plus owners who dig out cheap effective bullpen bargains, that these type of guys suffer severely against the better than "league average" (as in 30 team league) pitching.
I kept Giambi (same type of card and hitting about .225), but he is getting on base, and hitting some three run shots in the 5-hole for me.
