I like that power against righties, bring 'em on Bernie. :D

What I like about this card is the decision it forces. Great offense. Good range with a +1 arm. Makes for a nice contrast against those who like great arms in the outfield. Do you ignore your preference for the -5 arm and go with the offense or ignore him and let someone else have that offense.

I like the existence of cards that force choices much more than the guy who does it all and is thus priced too high to be useful.

Great card-- except for that brutal clutch.

Looks like a nice 1B to me... :D

any predictions on salary??

I say 9 million.

a notch below Yaz

Nice...Frank'll hold his own in a pitcher's park.

The "photobucket" site is blocked from where I work. Would someone do me a favor and take a screen print of Frank's card and email it to me? My email is agabriel2000@yahoo.com.

Thanks.

Sent. :D

His closest approximation is Stargell, but better against lefties and not quite as good against righties. $10-10.5M, easily.
