Actually, I think you live draft types did pretty well by this card set. Big upgrade to Al Simmons, decent upgrades to Heilmann and Schmidt, excellent platoon CF card for Reiser, a great Babe Herman card, and a great Giambi card. Also, Lajoie and Vaughan are still impact players, but no longer 1st rounders. Moises Alou and Jim Gentile are also going to be regulars.
On the pitching side, there's an upgrade to Keefe, a nice George Bradley, and Nomo and Prior are probably everyday starters. There are a lot of fringey starters for you too, like Reuther, Galvin, Dummy Taylor, and even Dan Haren for the small-ball guys. And the bullpen guys - upgrade to Hoffman, Phil Regan, Gagne, another good Gene Garber card, and Mike Jackson (minus the silver nose).
It's funny, though, that they haven't made a live draft app. I would think that would have been one of the easiest things to implement, since they already have all of the cards for each player interlinked by their player number (with the possible exception of Larry Andersen, who doens't matter in live drafts). I would think a good programmer could hammer one out in a couple of days.
