Mark Teixeira?

We have over 3500 cards and just added 50 but I can't believe we don't have a Mark Teixeira card! Not only does he deserve to be in ATG but we need MORE switch hitters. Maybe 2004, 2005 or 2009. Am I alone here?

Tex would have been a much better add than just another boring Dave Parker card.
Seriously, 5 cards now for this player? And not that much difference in this new card and those already existing.
This new process also dropped the ball in balance between pitching and hitting. 50 new cards and only something like 10 new pitchers.

The logical thing to do is to drop a card or 2 (Their worst season)
(Guys with 4+ cards)

That's kinda like trying to make entitlement reforms, though, visick. Everyone has their pet project/(card in this instance).
What may be the worst card in one manager's eyes may be another manager's favorite in a 60m league, for example.

With 3500+ cards Andy...

Are we really gonna miss the $.86 or $2.80 Parker cards?


I'm guessing these cards aren't used at all.

The 2.8 mil Parker is the best.

I've used both of them. ;)

Well, I sorta liked the Parker add.:-) Aside from Tex's switchiness, to me, it's just another add of a big K/W dude, albeit with a good glove. I would agree it probably makes more sense to bring a new card, rather than another Parker, though. Dave's current cards represent him pretty well.

On another note, the Jack Morris add of his 40-bombs allowed card is a puzzler. I'd like to have seen his '83 card (probably his best year, statistically) or his '91 year, with Minnesota.

My point being there are other options in those price ranges.

With regards to Jack Morris... I think the people that voted for that card MUST use it. :roll: :roll: :roll:
