Pricing Pirates

PostSat Aug 13, 2016 10:20 pm

I like Ralph Kiner, he seems like an underrated player.... His new card is very nice, it looks like a great bargain. Can someone explain why I could be wrong about that?

Who are the new bargains in YOUR opinion? What about the price of David Parker?

Konerko looks like a good bargain to me.

Kiner looks awesome to me too. I have him in Minute Maid in a super pitching league---which worried me though Kiner's massive power is "only" represented in 6 and 7 BP HR unlike the normal 8. More resilient/good in a smallball league? Trout has that kind of going on too.

I think both are bargains but time will tell. both are a fortune, so them being good is a more uphill battle and I usually hate expensive DHs like O'Doul, Suttles. Kiner seems better with that absurdo OBP. I got excited about the nex Foxx too but 7+mil hitters are a tough sell.=------alot of the cards have super defense and will struggle to hit, or are expensive butchers that rake or are just alot. The cards are good-therefore expensive.

I like Soriano (who i vouched for). He's "better" than the lefthanded exact price/role Kirk Gibson. Alot. Bullet proof, no gbA, speeeeeed, and max powah. Cheap.

Trout is a totally unique dog---compares to Mays' lesser cards with more OBP and R leaning. Kinda A-Rod like though its a freaking bullet proof GG CF!

Fothergill is great but another DH.

Sale i'll testdrive for a supa 5man.

Parker excites me and deserves his best card, though without doping yet, it seems to have alot of outs which is something i dislike for hitters and $s.



Who'll be the biggest impact pitcher?

Opon diy, Parker does look pretty good. He's better than alot of guys at that price range who are big injury risks (in a Fulton like launching pad). Pretty awesome balance of 2R, gaudier D with those dozens of errors, Good BA, actual pop.

The field is stacked and Route to play is the challenge for all cards. With Gates Brown being the best way you can spend 5.5 mil bucks in this game, its hard to justify anything else like Kiner----who's 8 mil bucks. That's DH/LF/1B though.

Between the neWagner and Kiner-----
