Bernie William

Bernie is a great addition to the game even if you don't like the Yankees. In his prime, he was a rare combo of hitting/power/defense/speed. The only real knock on him was that he didn't have an arm, but a switch-hitting CF with all those tools should make a lot of lineups as long as they don't screw up by giving him a wonky swing.
Very excited to see Bernie in action. He hasn't been in The Show since the very first one back in 2006.

I 100% agree Bernie flaw’s would be hidden in a way by the switch hitting -

You could but for a good part of his career he was a great defender

As much as it pains me, being a Red Sox fan, I agree with you. He was a great defender. We'll have to wait and see how they rate him. Maybe if they bring Captains back; that boost could help his arm strength.

They could give him a gold glove card and juice his arm almost what they did a bit with Alex Gordon -
He could have some great cards. Aside from his arm strength, he could pretty much do it all.

Bernie had speed, but was not a great base stealer, so his baserunning attributes may not be that great.

I’ll give you a dollar if you’ll just put the letter S at the end of his name in the title lol

It's crazy to think about how big a deal it was for him to get a 100 million dollar contract. I think he was the 3rd player to get one, but they all happened close together and was considered a big step forward in salaries.
Now we have a 700 million dollar contract in Ohtani

I’ll throw 2 quarters onto that dollar if he adds that S.

I like to call Bruce Lee 'Bru-lee.' One word because it sounds funny. 'William' seems weird. -

Bernie came close. He signed for around $90M I think, but Kevin Brown became the first MLB player to crack the $100M mark that same offseason. Another guy I'd love to see in the game.
