1933 Pepper Martin, what's not to like?

He'd be an excellent smallball player, I predict in the 6m range, making him affordable, he Steals, he's a 17 Runner, his defense is very usable, he's not a big injury risk, he hits well and has very good OBP.

Clarke shouldn't be a 15 game injury risk, he shouldn't even be a three game injury risk, he played every game his team played. But SOM has demonstrated a stunning inconsistency with injuries and this would be just another travesty. Still, Andy even if you are correct and I am sure that you are because you have access to all the cards (for that $10 per month that SOM charges for the privilege) he still has at most 1 point of injury risk, unlike his current card which has two points.

You’re right, Bruce, he has a 1 INJ Rating. My pattern has been to only list if a player has more than a 1 INJ Rating, along with whether they are a Bulletproof, an in game Risk only, a 3 game Risk, or a 15 game Risk. (Although I started doing this a while back and may not have listed them all that way in earlier listings.)
