Thoughts on new 2012 cards

Sorry, besides OBP I think they also need to tone down the % on LHP. Whatever is is, it's too high. They really need to make the side vs LHP weigh less.

I would normally agree with you, but I am in a league with five Progressive Fields out of the twelve stadiums. The guys like Buster Posey will perform very well against all the lefties. If that trend continues, he's very draftable.

LOL, I would like to see a link to that league. there isn't enough LHP hitting (and barely pitching) to go around for 5 of them to be successful. Would be funny to see those teams.

Building on last post the league I joined is almost all LH favoring ballparks. It will be interesting to see how that plays out for Cano being a LH hitter. Interesting to note post waivers there was not a LH starter to be had worth putting on a roster.

It would be interesting if the frequent flyers of 200x are seeing an early trend that direction with regards to stadium usage.

I have 4 teams.. 3 Fenway and 1 Rogers just to not have to worry about it if I miss my players in the draft

Will this link work? Or do I have to do something different for those not in the league?

There's also a Safeco, which is slighly LH-leaning. Everybody's in an extreme park of some kind. I'm in the Cell.

Easier to look at this way: http://onlinegames.strat-o-matic.com/le ... ers/267491

That said, of those 5 Progressive team (3 in one division with a Fenway, wooo) I think only 2 have the pieces to survive, 2 more have a chance if waivers are kind. One I think is dead in the water.

Like I said, not enough LH power hitter or decent LH pitching to fill that league. Unless I'm in a live draft league with unique stadiums, I can't ever see picking Progressive, unless you like to live dangerously.

I agree

When I am in a pitchers park I always go with defense. You OF corners are going to give up alot of extra base hits and I used Kipnis last year at 2B and he gave up alot of bases on the X Chart. This year he doesn't hit well enough to makeup for those. I think your team is in trouble but that is because I don't build that way. I am also the guy who thinks Kershaw will bomb this year so take this for what it's worth. Good luck!

Well I stiffened up the defense with Beckam at 2nd and my outfield is now LF: Parra CF:Trout RF: Colvin....

Wow...very cheap Relievers that are good

Conversely...expensive good Starting Pitching and then expensive mediocre SP

My guess we will see the cheap SP strategy used a lot on this set.
