I've had good and bad with all three cards. Gotta love his arm and 1-17 running rate.
62 - Awesome power. Best fielder. Non-# homers makes him one of the best power hitters for big parks. Guaranteed 60 plus homers in bomber parks. But - can really fall down on avg/obp. Hard to figure where to bat him vs. righties in 140/200 million leagues. WAY too many doubles plays, but does better in the clutch than the cheaper versions.
54 - Minus 5 arm & best obp. Solid big park power, but # homers make him much less desirable in big parks. Great righty/lefty balance. Does not hit into dp's. Poor clutch rating makes him more of a top of the order hitter. I like him at leadoff, and even more in the 2 hole.
55 - Middle ground card combines power, balance, speed and decent obp. Minus 4 arm. Better suited for bomber park. Probably best bang for buck of the three. I like him hitting fifth or sixth in 100 mil or higher leagues, cleanup in 80 mil or lower.
