I'm curious as to why you chose minute maid for this example. A heavily RH skewed park where Offerman (as a switch hitter) would do most of his batting as a lefty.

yes, Frank White has good defence and although not a big power threat does hit more vs righties.

I would expect Offermans superior OBP and stealing ability to produce a higher base differential than the Frank White card over a full season in a pitching, neutral or lefty skewed card. (maybe not but you never know with how the dice are going to go)

I chose Minute Maid because he's a switch hitter, and that's a park that gets used often, he is not suited for any park except as a DH. Offerman is a decent hitter and he has a pretty good OBP, but in a pitchers park (like Forbes'41) or a singles park (like Royals '80) you want a 2Bman who can field, so he will play DH in any league above 60m. I like him, he came up as a Dodger (my team), but he is by no means a good 2B choice, how often do you see Steve Sax start at 2B on a playoff caliber team?

I don't know what his card looks like, but what about 2006 Mark Grudzielanek? Won a gold glove with decent hitting (no power though

Jose Offerman, because if you rearrange the letters in his name it spells, "Major Offense"

HAL doesn't care for awards. I looked up all his cards in the app, and he has never been a "1". In 2006 he was a 2b205 ss448

So who won the vote? Or are we still caucusing? At least The Last Droid isn't politicking about.

I like that Grudzilanek card.

Also,I voted for Joey Offerman.

I just want to know when Kelly Leak is going to get his 1976 card added?

Also,I voted for Joey Offerman.

Yea, but did you vote for Charlie Neal?

1971 Cookie another KC option. After Adair in 1969, White and Rojas were the Royals' starting 2B for the next 21 years
