Is this card worth the money?
1st off he is AAA in steals, but dont our rules only follow getting a lead or not, then the numbers in parenthesis? or am i reading that wrong? (because if his max steal # is 18 and his no-lead is 13, he's hardly worth the AAA rating -- like a ricky henderson or vince coleman.... shouldnt it be a 16 minimum, for the no-lead?)
but these actuals are pretty nice, i hope they trancend:
403 BA
521 OBP
523 slg
should be an insane leadoff hitter. he might be overpriced, but that's hard to drop.....
anyone tried him yet?

As a DH maybe...Not a +3 arm in CF!!! :roll:

I love the card, and would consider playing him in CF in some situations, but I think the price tag is ludicrous. I would think his niche in this card set would be as a leadoff man in a $140 million league when you miss out on all the primo CF's. I think he's way too expensive for a lower cap.

Left field would be OK. DH would be better.

Quick question on Hamilton.
I have him in a franchise league where my teams are the Phillies and Senators. The team is relatively under-talented but my outfield is the 1894 Phillies 3 .400 hitters (Delahanty, Hamilton and Thompson) and Willard Brown. Initially I was thinking play Brown in Left, Hamilton in Center and Delahanty in Right.
I've never played too many terrible arms in the outfield and feel that I don't fully appreciate how damaging they are....especially in Center.
Question is should I play Brown's 2(-2)e14 in Center and move Hamilton to left where he is a 2?

Disappointing for me here after 15 games. Set to steal, bunt, run aggressively and playing leadoff as DH. Yeah park is Petco, but shouldnt affect his OBP that much.
