Strat-O-Matic Baseball 365

I'm a returning player after about a 6-7 year hiatus and I could swear that one of my favorite platoon cards is gone. I used to use Doc Prothro as the right side of a 3B platoon in lefty homer parks, and while I can't remember the specifics of his card, I do know that his defense wasn't nearly as horrible as it is in the card I can find in the current pool. Am I imagining things or did that card go away. Follow up question: If so, why?

The 24 Senators cards used to be the non cadillac cards. SOM updated them to the cadillac versions when they updated the 1924 season. They replaced the old ATG cards with the new ones. They have done that with several old teams and cards over the years. It sometimes results in a vastly different card than the old ones. I will say this for the current Prothro card, he can mash in a low salary cap league with a DH.

He is good as lefty killer in DH platoon, 60 to 100 million.

But you're right, he dropped from a "3" to a "5" defensively at 3b. It happened in July 2014 with the release of ATG 8.

Aha. That all makes sense. Thanks for the clarification. Yeah I can totally see using him in a DH platoon but that defensive rating makes him pretty much unusable otherwise.
