I've wanted a better Eddie Matthews card for a long time. But this one seems like it's right out of fantasim with heavily inflated homers.
Morgan is a mystery to me. He had 10 more hrs in '76 than '75. Yet the ball park hr's for'75 and '76 are identical. And his '74 card has 6# against righties vs only 4 for the other two cards despite his hitting 22 that year. Sometimes it's really hard to understand what thinking goes into the ballpark homerun effects, especially since they are supposed to be three year averages if I recall correctly.
I seem to recall asking for 7 of the 10 hitters we received today. However, two that I didn't ask for: Bo and Bob Johnson are two of the most interesting additions. Gotta like Randolph too. Overall a good set of hitters.
Hippo looks seriously overpriced, the same problem that befell the last set of pitchers that was released. Not even sure he is worth 9M much less over 10. Just compare him to the other elite guys with identical whips. Maybe Richman and co. will take over the pricing once they assume full control. Kinda hope so. Same deal with Carl Mays and the rest. Overall, like the pitchers, but the pricing seems only consistent with the last set of new pitchers.
