first week of new cards

Gehringer's new card is interesting. i wanted to like it and it certainly is more playable than than 9.5 one. Its kind of reminiscent of the 1(-3) Delahanty. This could be both an endorsement and inditement as the gold glove Delahanty used to be a real winner with good skills though its bat is underwhelming for the obscene amount of money it goes for. Will Gehringer hit enough? Or will his 'athletic-face' and durability make him a richer Frankie Frisch? I fear not, as ATG is a game of underpriced destructinators like G. Brown and NewWagner or at least guys that hit above their price. Still, theres certainly a place for cards like 1e4 Omar, P. Rodriguez, Tulo, and Robbie Cano. Is Genringer good enough to join? (better grouping would be Frisch, Delahanty, Biggio, A-Rod as in guys who "win?" with seemingly sub par BR and stuff)

The real movers and shakers to me are the pitchers: Verlander and Koufax. Koufax prob not enough but Verlander is SOOOOOOO good in a pitching league.


Thoughts on Verlander? I haven't done the DIY yet and am almost skeptical of his dope and that minuscule OBP....

You don't have to DIY Verlander, all the new guys are up on the Dope.

That's what I'm saying---his dope is TOO good!!!!

well i took the bait and got verlander. park is sportman's 21 and he won last nite so we'll see.

That Verlander card is kind of like the expensive Saberhagen in that they are right handed pitcher cards that do well against left handed batters. I wonder if anyone will use, Orlando Cabrera who seems maybe a bit overpriced?

Gehringer update....... 105 abs, 8 doubles, 1 3b, 1 hr, 2 errors. ba .343, obp .430. very solid. more walks than K's but only 9 rbi's but that may just be circumstance as i've even used him at leadoff. one plus is he's hitting just as well against lhsps.

sewell is holding up well so far.

Gehringer is doing well. almost the same stats as arky except charles has 23 extra base hits compared to 19 for the ark. both r .300 plus. .400 plus in obp, and within 20 points slugging
