i had my Barnstormers event 5 autodraft 2 days ago...
I was given C Roy Campanella and his 1953 Brooklyn Dodgers' card...
I was more than schocked when I realized that Campy is a 2 injury risk...
WTF !!! A 2 !!! Incredible !!!
To give you an idea he played 144 of 155 Dodgers' games that year... and had 519 AB and 67 BB for a total of 586... 14 shy of the 600 SOM magic number for an injury risk of 1,,,
I would have understood a 1...
But 2...
Ludicrous and ridiculous... Probably if not surely one of the worst I,ve ever seen...
I agree...but I suppose that the argument from Strat might be that he "only" started 130 games at catcher and was a pinch-hitter in 11 games and came in to catch in late innings for Rube Walker in 2 games (and Walker came in for Campy 4 times). It speaks to the offensive juggernaut that the '53 Dodgers were that Campy had as many at-bats and RBIs as he did in 130 games started (the Dodgers scored 955 runs and 6 of the starting 8 scored over 100 runs...the lowest OBA of the starting 8 was Billy Cox at .363)...but yes, get Campy a 1.
Look, there is an endless list of guys who "should" be rated differently. You want to talk about catchers who should be rated a 1 injury (not that he's important) but look at poor John Stearns ...
