Best value cards in 2012?

I agree about Campana. I am using him at AT&T as a 4th outfielder with some injury risks ahead of him (Jay inj. 3 and CarGo/Moss who both can be out for 15 games). He's recorded 96 PAs over the first 75 games.

His line:
.275/.313/.341 with 10 SB and 3 CS overall
but he's really better as a platoon if you're using him "full-time"
vs. RHP: .333/.362/.424 over 69 PAs (obviously small sample size)
vs. LHP: .120/.185/.120 over 27 PAs (*extremely* small sample size)

Honestly, not bad in a pitchers park for the price. I'm guessing I will have him record around 200 PAs over the season and if he stays at the production he has, I'll be happy with that. Some of the SB were as a pinch-runner when he wasn't needed as a starter in the OF - added bonus!

Just curious...Has anyone used SS Zack Cozart in an NL only league?

What kind of numbers?

Kemp/Campana in cf. Kemp is a beast when he's healthy and Campana is a fine backup. Plus Campana can pr and replace Kemp for defense when he's not starting. Total cost 6.89 for great cf production

Zack Cozart is doing really good for me in an NL only Keeper league. I thought my offense would suffer at SS but Cozart is surprising me to say the least.

Cozart not bad for how cheap he is (regular 80 mil league)

Cozart, Zack - 30 2B, 3 3B, 12 HR, 48 RBI, .239 .276 .394

Basically gives me what I expect, decent defense and a little bit of pop from the 8th position.

Colby Lewis is a bargain at 3.8

Ian Desmond costs 6 but feels like 8. Maybe I'm underestimating his errors and his grounding into DPs.

Further to my earlier posts on this thread, check out Cabrera. .347 .398 .657 53 Hrs and 159 RBI's after 152 games. His numbers at home at Fenway are .385 .433 .728 29 HRs and 86 RBIs in 75 games.

Campana has 61 SB's 11 CS. Hitting .300 (.353 OB) vs RHP. In 34 baserunning situations he's taken the extra base 23 times and been caught baserunning only twice!

This team has a great run differential (+106) but has not been good in 1 run games (17-25) so the overall record is 82-74, currently in a very tight race for the wild card.

Again, playing in Fenway, look at Moss's numbers. Best "value" (again value doesn't mean cheap) in the set. Playing in a park that is a 1 for him, and still has those numbers.

Agree - Moss is a killer value card. 50 HRs in 152 games playing in Fenway is just outasight. What a great value card!!!

^^^ I tried to type this a moment ago - I'll try again!

Agree - Moss is an absolute killer value card at just over $8 million! 50 HRS in 152 games with Fenway as his home park is just incredible - for $8 million!!!!

Great value card!!!!

SHould be a good playoffs geekor!! Hope my team gets in there too! Love this 2012 card set!!!
