Now that Sutter cards are priced so high, might be time to get a cheaper one, and maybe one from his days as Cards closer. Led NL in Saves for 4 straight seasons….. 80 more balanced, 81 more towards RH

I think he meant 1983.

I think the 1973 Jackson is an improvement over his current card, just looking at the numbers you posted.

Good catch Steve. Yes, I made a typo on the year for Niedenfuer. It should be 1983. I've corrected it. Andy, I noticed that you added 1983 Niedenfuer to the list. Thank you!

I agree with ratioman. 1973 Grant Jackson looks to be a big improvement all across the board over 1979 Jackson in BA, OBP, SLG & OPS against both lefties and righties, especially in HR allowed against righties.

I agree. The 1973 card would be a big improvement. I never see the 79 card used, with all of the HRs vs RHB.

You're both right; I looked at it wrong...........I've looked at a LOT of stats & cards lately
