Which of his three cards is the most effective offensively?

Defense and position do not factor into my inquiry.

His most expensive card unless sbs are important to you...that card get caught too much.

[The Last Druid]

Actually his 1912 card is his best offensive card. He hits about .050 pts. higher on his strat card .610 vs. 560 or so, in '12 vs. 11. Strange given that he hit .012 higher in '11?#!

One would surely think it would be 1911 but for some reason the 1912 card is better. Here are the Diamond Dope actuals. Offensively, it's not even very close...

BA OBP Slg RC/700 WPCT

0.356 0.400 0.526 137.21 0.495 1911

0.382 0.428 0.538 149.28 0.503 1912

And on the BA alone it's .026 pts higher, almost exactly what his cards predict.

I prefer the 1912 card as well. If I had to play him in CF, I'd go with the 1911 but if I could play him in RF or DH I'd go with the 1912 every day.
