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.

Don't use him...he sucks!!!

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?

I'm going to use him in LF in Forbes '65

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.
