I was wondering what some of the Returns on him were.
I got him in the draft but was going for Thome.
The team is in the Cell and I also got Tatis (to use as platoon with Thome on the off chance I got them)
I haven't use Berkman this year and don't know if a platoon is really needed with him. I could really use the cash to shore up my pitching.

Bodie,
I've got Berk and I'm using him in Jacobs.(Doing very well btw...)
No platoon for me because he's too expensive for one and he's fine vs. LH's.

Bodie, just use 2 .50 cent guys in a platoon. That should work for you. :lol:

Check out his stats in SAFECO - 33HRs in 327 ABs

By what I've seen he is money in this 07 set playing full time.

Ok,
I dropped Tatis.....
Question #2
I got Escobar, but Guererro is Avail for RF, it sure would help with the injuries I would be dealing with, but not sure on this one.
Question #3,
My division Cell (me) with Rogers, Gr. Amer. Bpk, and RFK
Hitting should be ok, but pitching could get dicey.
But the other 2 divisions are almost exclusively pitching with 1 Cell, 2 Fenway, 2 more RFK, AT&T, Kauffman and Angels
I am concerned with how to approach the pitching on this team
Any advice would be very very welcome.
Berkman: Horrible vs LHPs!

Only 5 of his 45 bombs were off LHPs! .266 avg, .370 ob% (not bad) but only slugged .416 off lefties, that's putrid! Lots of walks vs southpaws, very little power. However, he slugged .700+ with .440+ OB% vs RHPs!!!
Surprised also he gets a "2" at 1B.

P.S. If you too are interested in a stock teams lg start a thread! 8)

Bodie...
You and Kev need to check in on that Flirtin' with Disaster league that I was telling you about earlier.
