ATG VIII Card previews

Still no new cards yet? In the meantime, how about a good card for the Hawk to whet your appetite? Good speed, great D, good power and clutch at a great price. Only 3 game injury max. It's time to say good bye to Raul Mondesi in righty parks at lower caps. I'm starting to see a trend for low priced power in ATG8 and I like that a lot!

Speaking of cheap power, how about the re-issued and repriced 1971 Willie Stargell card?

Also, check out the 1979 Ted Simmons card. Uncharacteristically great power for Ted, especially against LHPs and the best D of any of his ATG cards!

A few more. The Road Runner. Good cheap smallball DH.

Tommy Herr: Maybe a platoon guy vs. RHP

Bobby Doerr: Better power and D, higher OBP than his other cards.

Bill Doran: Better than his other card, with more power and better D, but not $2 mil better. A lot like Templeton's $2.52 mil card, but more than double the cost. I think more people would have preferred his 1990 card with .400+ OBP

Dick Egan: Cheap D, good speed and clutch, N power, punch and Judy hitter. The prototypical player who does many things well, but isn't a standout. Will probably play a lot at $60 mil and $80 mil.

Bingo Demoss: A lot like Egan, with slightly higher OBP, but loses a lot in the clutch. W vs. RHPs.

Donnie Bush: A real head scratcher. Can't really say why this card was included. Low BA, high e rating. Decent OBP at SS for the money. Missed being bullet proof by 1 AB! Very similar to cheap Max Bishop, and we know how often that card gets used. Templeton and Bowa remain as better low price options at SS. Bowa's price reduced by $0.5 mil, but has a re-issued card.
