That Shawn Chacon could be one of the best non * pitchers next year. I have no illusion that he'll keep it up but baring a TOTAL collapse he might have a really low ERA. Is there any minmum or that kind of stuff for pitchers. Another guy to look at is Zach Duke from Pittsburgh. I think these two guys will suprise a lot of people. Kind of like El Duque this year.

Can't wait to see Tony Clark's card.

Chacon, Duke and the kid from Seattle who is doing great could all have cards similar to Matt Wise and Rick Bauer of the 2005 set.

Franceur, tony clark, etc would look like Gload, Quinlan, Mauer, and others from the 05 set that had great stats in limited ABs.

The most interesting thing to me will be a few vets that have always had great cards that won't in the 06 set including, Bonds, RJ (he will only be average), Thome, Schilling, and others.

Clint Barmes' card will be outstanding but probably a 5 or 6 injury rating to go along with it!
