I was wondering if we were going to have previews like last year.

Here are some cards that I'd like to see:

Pitchers: Verlander, Kershaw, Weaver, Romo

Hitters: Adrian Gonzalez, M.Cabrera, M.Kemp, J. Ellsbury, J.Upton, M.Napoli, J.Giambi

I would like to see Kemp and Weaver, that is for sure. :D

I gotta see Giambi. I second that notion. 8-)

Well, if the card looks like the card on the Windows game. Giambi's injury is a 1-11. Want to trade?

Weaver - 6-5, 6-6, 5-7 - Think 2010 Kershaw.
Kemp - 1 and 3 columns - Think 2010 Pujols.

I must be blind, I can't find the injury possibilities on the cards

Look for "In" right up against what ever they did to get injured. Giambi looks like "HBP&In"

I worded it wrong. I don't understand how to tell how long they can get injured for by looking at the cards. When people say "somebody can get injured for up to 11 games" how do they figure that out?

Im not sure where it's written but the length of injury is based on how many plate appearances the player had during the season. If they have over 600 I believe they can only be injured for up to 3 games. Low number plate appearances can be injured for up to 15 games.

He is saying that the injury occurance would be in column 1 on a roll of 11. This would give him an injury 2 rating.
