I have Jose Cruz and Reggie Jackson on my team with both having 574 at bats. Cruz has 48 doubles and 25 homers. Jackson has 15 doubles and 23 homers. I'm finding this a little odd.

What is odd about Cruz having more doubles than Reggie who is not as fast? If you are talking about Cruz having about the same number of HRs as Reggie I'm not surprised either. Many people consider Cruz a htter with no power. His 77 and 81 cards have plenty of power. If he lands one of those and Reggie gets one of his lighter power years then yeah I can see Cruz having the same number of HRs as Reggie.

I'd be curious to know what park you are playing in, but overall I am not surprised either. Depending on the ballpark, Cruz can really light it up... and to me, the nice thing about Jose is that his 2 poorer cards are so much worse than his 3 better ones, so it is usually fairly easy to tell when you got a bad card and when to cut bait. Reggie, at least for me, is often a huge disappoinment... but again, it might have much to do with where you are playing.

I'm playing in Busch Stadium and for the most part the entire league has pitchers parks.

If you are in Busch and most of the league is pitcher parks then I'm not sure Reggie was your best play at DH or RF.

love the Cruz
