Ashburn. He has never let me down when I've used him. My preference of cards is the 1958 one.

Depends on what park you're using. For my money, Dykstra is a better choice if your park is friendly to LH power.

I am inclined to agree with the Jumbo Jet (thetallguy747), I shy away from plus arms unless they are stone OPS guys but I would be inclined to take Dykstra, Ashburn just doesn't have enough pop for a guy who is not a big base-stealer, my opinion.

Ever since Ronnie Darling's latest book, I just can't stomach Dykstra anymore.

That said, yah, depends on park. Agree with prior remarks.

Chompsky - I feel that way about the Canseco that doesn't suffer from hangnails (the $8m one ) but I still always look

I actually played in a card and dice tournament that Dykstra's brother was in. He was a real dick, and from what I understand Lenny is even worse.

I say neither.

Can you not go back in time? I'd look at Delahanty or Billy Hamilton as options.
If no oldies, then take a glance at Aaron Rowland or Shane Victorino.

Delahanty is probably my pick if available to you.
