utterly disappointed in the new pud galvin card.

man, this card just can not catch a break. went 0-4 in 4 starts for me and i just lost all confidence in him. swapped him out for c.schilling. at least he will strike guys out.

has anyone else had this problem with him?

Have not used him but in real life he threw 636 innings WHIP is low bet that is not because he was hard to hit. It was because of great control, only 63 walks. That is a walk every 10 innings.

Problem is the strat model is incapable of reproducing that kind of efficiency. Guarantee no matter what hitters he goes against he will not come close to that. In your 4 game sample 6 walks in 26 innings. Toss in the extra HRs and other extra base hits to drive those walks hom and he has no chance of being anything special or resembling the actual performance. Not saying he is not useable but you have to dampen your expectations a little.

Similar crummy results for me. Also considering swapping him out.

Although also have Maddux $11.30 card and he is poor also. May have caught whatever Galvin has.

No problems whatsoever with the Pudman. I'll take him anytime. 4-0 in the postseason, including winning two Game 7's on the road.
