Chipper, Wood, and Oswalt were easily the 3 most useful. Maybe Felix as well. Steve Finley was the last player I took out when I got every position 90+
-
Felix is still in the rotation on my all Mariners theme team.
My choice was Longoria, and I think he played at third until I got that Edgar Martinez from the event.
-
Torii Hunter was my go-to CF until McCutchen.

87 Chipper Jones .353/.388/.488 in 807 at-bats.
87 Cal Ripken .323/.358/.445 in 449 at-bats.
87 Jason Kendall .298/.336/.336 in 265 at-bats.
89 Roy Oswalt 89.1 innings 3.53 ERA 1.05 WHIP -
Rickey was in my lineup for the first 2-3 months
-
I am hoping we get an event limited to just these 30 cards. RP would be a bit thin though.
-
In retrospect we probably all should've taken Chipper Jones, but that 87 Kendall was good too. I took Henderson because it's Rickey f'ing Henderson, and he turned out only ok in my opinion.
-
I'm still killing it with Rookie Oswalt and old man Gwynn in the event.

I have to disagree. I took Henderson then took Chipper later on and I still preferred Rickey and glad I took him first. I enjoyed Chipper and he did his job when I used him but in retrospect I don't regret taking Rickey. I think it also comes down to who works best for your style of play. I like speedier guys with good defense. It's why Jose Reyes is my starting shortstop.
