Mathews seems like just another homerun hitter, nothing special. I don't think his card should be included in the fantasim inflated card outrage. He is #29 on the leader board playing home games at Yankee71.

The thing about Mathews and Arky's card is that they have a lot of errors. I have Mathews on one team where he has 22 errors in 90 games, with the 3 rating at that and I should have known better but felt his offense would make up for it-not even close-he's definitely a defensive liability. He's DH material next time I use him. Given that there are so many options available even at smaller caps for both hitters and pitchers, fielding might be the decisive factor in building a title contending team. whereas before you could get away with 140-150 errors on a team and still win rings, I think now you need to have under 100 errors to have a decent chance to get a ring given a competitive league.

Hmmm...not that an anecdotal example proves anything, but this team won a ring wih 130 errors

I appreciate the team links, however, what was the level of competition?
