The Best hitter that is almost never used is.....

[bricoons]

The Al's are on my list too!! I usually pick up one or the other when my teams turn to crust.

I seem to be the only person that uses Glenn Davis. Like him in pitcher's parks because you know he's still going to hit 25-35 homeruns. Haven't really used him in a hitter's park, but he's got some beautiful #'s in the middle of each card. I could see him easily hitting 50 HR in the Kingdome.

im a big g davis fan also. he always gives me at least 30 homers and .500 slg. no matter what park i use him in.

I think Gene Richards is a bit under-appreciated.

[quote:d30d4c9465="Jimmy_C"] My personal favorite "Best hitter that is almost never used" is Dusty Baker.
[/quote:d30d4c9465]

An interesting fact about Dusty is that his 1977 season, which looks on paper like by far his best, costs 3.97M in ATGIII, whereas a 1/5 chance at it costs 6.44M in BTT80s.

On that basis, although I've never used Dusty in the '80s, I've drafted Dusty-'77 onto my new ATGIII team. I'm not sure if he's overpriced in the '80s, but he sure looks like a bargain in ATGIII! :D

Four favorites of mine:

Chili Davis: He has scored 100+ runs, hit 30+ HR, and had 100+ RBI many times for me.

Pete Rose: He has hit over .300 almost every time; .400+ OBP, and has won a batting title. And, he hits both LHP and RHP well.

Willie Upshaw: for under $3 mill, he produces 25 HR and 85 RBI pretty regularly

Pat Tabler: kills LHP in 4 of 5 years; and in 2 of those 4 years, he kills RHP too.

And one pitcher on the list: Mike Boddicker. I've lucked out with his best season twice, and he's won 20 + games both times.

Upshaw and Tabler - YES - and don't forget Tony Phillips and Steve Kemp!

Dusty Baker has never made any of my teams past a few games. I have Al oliver on one of my teams now and he is hitting for average and beleive it or not is hitting a good amount of homeruns.

I love Tabler's hitting. At worst, he's a great platoon guy against LHP.

I sort of got stuck with Claudell Washington in our decade league, but, judging by his cards, he's an excellent hitter who's average at all the OF positions. He can run, and steal a base or two. He's got moderate power, and walks moderately (at best). Still, he seems like a good player to have on a roster.

Bill Russell is a poor fielder, but not a bad hitter for a SS. He's a 1-17 runner who can handle the bat. A good .75'er, though he will make e's.
