[quote:49a108b5fc="lev.cohen"]How have Todd Helton and Carlos Pena been for you guys?
In some of my leagues, they have been underachieving.[/quote:49a108b5fc]
Define "underachieving" for Pena, the guy had a .225 batting average last year.
He only has [b:49a108b5fc]4.2[/b:49a108b5fc] points of hits against LHP on his card and [b:49a108b5fc]11.9[/b:49a108b5fc] against RHP. Facing the pitching he'll see in a 12 team league, your dreaming if you think he'll hit above the mendoza line.
Top it off with the fact that a lot of his home run prowess has been relegated to ball park homerun chances and unless your playing in an all Coors or Yankees Stadium league what exactly are you expecting???
I'll admit it's probably one of the most overpriced cards in the set, part of that is the defense, but even so I don't think his card is worth 1.5 mil. let alone 5+
If you were expecting him to hit his card numbers based on his price...
well all I'll say is look at the cards not the prices. :wink:
