Ellsworth is in sir, I have been satisfied when I could afford him at $8.95M. used him 2 or 3 times already plus 1 or 2 active
he's like 5L (un)balanced, not quite the beast the $9.4M Big Unit is, no where near the Ks, but not that far off.
also, he was not actually a flash in the pan, think of how many modern pitchers have put up that ERA in Wrigley with over 200IP - it ain't a dozen, probably not even half a dozen, he pitched over 250 innings and lost 22 the next year, had a slight return w/ Boston in '70 (3.03 ERA, 16-8 196 IP)
I think the Cubs threw his arm out in '66 (the other card of his in the set) when he was 8-22 - that card won the clincher of a championship for me, so it ain't that bad either, its like $4.26M and 8L, put either one in a lefty-favoring unbalanced park and watch him deal... the (near) stud card is also an F9 so I leave him in and get a nice number of complete games from him.
