BTW, I really like the 07 Chipper, the 04 JD Drew, the 11 Kemp

A couple of thoughts for Middle IFers
2007 Tulowitzki SS-1e10, 2R Balance, 297/377/552
1981 Bobby Grich 2b-2e10, E Balance, 304/378/543

Harry Rice, SLB '25, 1.028 OPS, OF 2(-3)13 at ALL OF positions, 1b-4e30, But also that pesky C-4(+5)38


yeah, the C rating kills that--
and in comparing the Watkins card to the cheaper 7.68 Torriente Cristobal (2 e 8 in all OF positions) its a slightly higher OPS for much worse defense.
Torriente's card gets drafted mid-late teens so am inclined to think Watkins will get very little use :(

looked at the Grich card 3 times-- just doesn't get on base enough on the card.
am assuming you mean 2009 Tulo b/c 07 is a 2 E12?
Similar issue with getting on base-- think it would get used as a defensive replacement/backup SS.

How about 1953 Hank Thompson LH power-hitting 3b for platoon vs righties?

.302/.400/.567/.967 overall, with .321/.424/.619/1.043 vs righties... MVP-24, 13 errors

I like the 1925 Hornsby. Is that card tilted a bit lefty?

Also curious about the 1921 Hornsby. My question is whether that one plays other positions. He played between one and three full games at 1b, SS, 3b and LF. Could be interesting if he was rated for SS especially

Would the 1928 Hornsby be of interest to the Franchise crowd since he played for the Braves that year.

While I don't expect this with our limited adds, I would like to see the really great players also have more ordinary seasons included making them more usable in small cap leagues too ranging from 1917 Hornsby who played SS rather than second base down to Willie Mays with the Mets and Babe Ruth with the Braves

Yes Salty, I meant 2009.

In 1921 Hornsby doesn't play any of those extra positions well enough to be used there.

Talking about his 1928 card, as a "Franchise guy" I like to see guys play for their most recognizable team or two, not a one season fling.

2014 Tulowitzki 1e8 1.000+ ops. Big injury issue but that is not as big of an issue in high cap leagues
