Have Willie in Baker Bowl in an $80M league, other division parks are Baker, Forbes and Griffith. Anyone have stats on him? Thanks in advance.

A competitor in Yankee '27 just dropped him after he posted these stats:

105 387 42 97 7 3 26 70 32 85 0 1 .251 .486 .313

Through 135 games in Huntington

Thanks guys. He's off to a slow start for me, but we're only nine games in. Just trying to determine if it's a slow start or if his card just isn't as good as it looks in hitters parks for the price

Not just because he was one of my boyhood favorites but I love Willie! I usually play him in Polo or Baker. If there are a fair number of LH pitchers in your division, he's capable of putting up some monster HR numbers for his price. Expect his BA to range anywhere from .250 to .300. If you can platoon him against RHP that works even better.
His range isn't good but he will commit suprisingly few errors. My usual duo of left-slayers are Horton in LF and Valentine in RF.

After 75 games in Metropolitan:

YAN 75 292 40 92 15 0 20 47 13 69 0 0 .315 .572 .349

Very pleased so far. :D

Thanks Simon, tkl. I'll ride the early slump for a while and see if he bounces back!
