I haven't gotten to many cards to reveal themselves yet, but I cant complain about an 8-4 start, considering I got swept opening night. Carew got HBP so either I have his monster season, or I have a monster card against RH'ers only. I appear to have a good J. Thompson card as well and it appears I can rule out Pendletons worst season and typically when he starts out of the gate hitting over .300 against RH'ers with power, you know its going to be a good year.
I haven't figured whats up with Tartabull yet, since none of his seasons are that bad and nothing is following a trend I can even place to a card yet.
Larkin has been the odd player for me to date, so far he has hit for a high average with little power which implies one of his best seasons, yet HAL has pinch hit for him at every opportunity (not just clutch situations, but late situations to lead off innings), so the Jury is out on him.
This is whats addictive about the '80's game though, trying to figure out who you have and make changes accordingly,
