The 2008 set will be here before you know it and the last tour event is under way, so I felt it was safe to unveil the best kept secret in the 2007 set. He's always available post waivers, never taken in live drafts, he saves big time money because he is cheap and can serve as the back-up catcher.
I have had him on six teams (4 on the tour), five of which made the playoffs, none of which have been below .500.
