https://365.strat-o-matic.com/player/3056/1690/1/906. 2006 Kenji Johjima C SEA. batted .298 with 18 homeruns against RHP. Seattle desperately needs a Catcher that can hit righties. Johjima would platoon well with Wilson to give Seattle competence at the position.

10. 2003 Chad Bradford OAK. He wasn’t sidearm, he was underhanded. Current card is balanced but he was a ROOGY and this card is 9R. Hold -3. Couldn't get lefthanders out, so should be another needed cheap ROOGY

https://365.strat-o-matic.com/player/92065/2019/1/201917. 1934 Wes Ferrell SP BOS - Fascinating, criminally overlooked liveball pitcher. Legit HOF case after adjusting for high-offense era and considering he was one of the best-hitting pitchers ever (.797 career OPS). Baseball Reference likes other seasons better but this appears to be his best card.
18. 1942 Walt Judnich, SLB, BAL-1R, CF/LF/RF-2(-1)e4, 313/413/500; Hit for Power, Average, and OBP in his first 3 MLB seasons and was also an AllStar twice in that period before WW2 took his most productive years.

33. 2000 Darrin Fletcher C Toronto Blue Jays 19 doubles, 20 HR’s .320/.355/.514 The Jays franchise needs a better option for a catcher than Whitt, Borders and Martinez. Fletcher would be an improvement for the Jays franchise.

40. 1968 Bobby Bolin, Giants, RHSP 10-5 1.99 0.985. Career bests in in ERA, WHIP, HR9, H9 and near career best in BB9. Bolin pitched in relative anonymity his entire career, and in typical fashion, had his best year in 1968 when Bob Gibson & Juan Marichal stole all the NL pitching headlines. Was 2nd in NL in ERA & H9, & 4th in WHIP.
