[quote:01d985bc82="socalchiro"]I think you're underestimating Haren.

1.6 HR chances vs. RH's/ 31 K chances/ 0 BB's/ 9.8 H / 9.8 OB/ 18.2 TB's

2.2 HR chances vs. LH's/ 36 K's/ 0 BB's/ 10.8 H / 10.8 OB / 24.9 TB's

No doubt he's still a good one, I just think there is better value further down the totem pole.

How about Fielder vs A Gonzo?

Prince hits better(IMO) and has no injury but is a 4.....so 2M more for a 1 rating at 1B????

[the splinter]

I also think injury risk players took a big(and unwarrented in most cases) jump in price

A. Ramirez is a 4 with high E's and an injury on a 5 for 5M+?

Beltran might get in 110 games...for almost 6M???

[RICHARDMILTER]

Maybe in years past guys like Milton Bradley (with great cards, but huge injury risks) were under priced, and this year they over compensated the other way???? I am just guessing.

Overall I think TSN (Bernie and staff??) do a great job pricing the players. Some may say it is not perfect, but what is??? And if it were perfect, the repeat customers would not be able to gain an advantage by knowing the bargains from the over priced players.... Just my three cents...

Other than Catcher very seldom will I take a starting player who doesn't have 600PA's, unless he's cheap and I have a decent backup.

I think this strategy is very easy to adopt in ATG, but much more difficult in 200x. I don't mind taking a chance on a player or two, perhaps 3. They may miss 15 games, but once you're in the playoffs, they can really help you out.

I agree with Aero...as long as you're rolling dice, you may as well roll the dice. :lol:

FYI -

The 2009 set features 482 hitters in total, 78 hitters with at least 600 PAs, and 16 with at least 680 PAs.

I rarely used a guy with an INJ higher than 2/12 until the 2006 season with Alex Escobar.

He had an injury on 7 but he was cheap enough @ $4.31 mill. He was $ everytime I used him.

As long as u have a decent backup and have a realistic vision of how many games they will play, these guys will perform.

I with you Jerlins...there are cheaper value guys than Haren. But I still think he's got a very nice card.
