<p dir="auto"><strong>J.R Richard</strong> - I love a high velo guy, but this is legitimately the worst pitcher i have used all year. Throws heat, but he's got four fastballs so i have been thoroughly shelled every time i used him.</p>
<p dir="auto"><strong>Willie Mays</strong> - I know many are disappointed with the cards attributes (and rightly so when he's got less power than Patrick Bailey), but he has played above that for me.<br />
I've hit a ton of bombs with him, his fielding is elite, as is his arm and his speed is good enough.</p>
<p dir="auto"><strong>Clay Buchholz</strong> - I love this card. The pitch mix is good with a 4-seam, sinker, cutter and circle change, just wish the K/9's were higher.</p>
<p dir="auto"><strong>Brian Roberts</strong> - Lordy, they juiced him.<br />
Huge contact, vision and clutch, 90s power (yet hits a long, long ball), great speed and solid fielding.<br />
Dude can even bunt for the sickos out there.</p>
<p dir="auto"><strong>Mark McGwire</strong> - Just your typical McGwire card, unfortunately.<br />
Huge power, terrible vision (why, oh why?), poor fielding, poor speed and poor swing.</p>
<p dir="auto"><strong>Gary Sheffield</strong> - Solid enough on paper, but really underwhelming for me so far.<br />
The lack of power against righties is tough, and his fielding makes it hard for me to use when we have so many great fielding options in the outfield.</p>
<p dir="auto"><strong>Carlos Santana</strong> - Always a favourite, although i wasn't a fan of his 95.<br />
They could have juiced him more, but his swing means he plays up despite the low contact against righties and the subpar fielding (if you use him at C).<br />
WIsh he was more accessible, especially to the online only guys.</p>
<p dir="auto"><strong>Sammy Sosa</strong> - 83 vision??? What are we doing, SDS.<br />
Despite that, i'm having some fun with the card.<br />
Excellent power, great clutch and contact left, but probably only a DH option given the fielding and arm aren't elite in the outfield.<br />
Could have (and should have) been so much more.</p>
<p dir="auto"><strong>Kerry Wood</strong> - One of my favourite cards of the year even though he doesn't really have a meta pitch mix.</p>
<p dir="auto">The 4-seam with outlier is nasty, and i've had some really good success with the speed variations between that and the changeup, slurve and 12-6 curve.</p>
<p dir="auto"><strong>Bo Bichette</strong> - [censored], they juiced Bo (why, i don't know, but i'll take it).<br />
Power right aside, his hitting stats are all near maxed.<br />
He is safe enough in the field, and whilst he's got no speed, the hitting makes up for it.</p>
<p dir="auto">What are your thoughts on the Spooky cards released so far?</p>

They have him standing in top of the plate but for some reason it seems like he turns on balls faster than ever before. His attributes are lousy for a guy who hit 660 HR’s in his career. And who was his fashion designer? He never wore long pants. He always wore high stirrups. Anyway one of my favorites from my childhood so I’ll take him. McGwire’s swing is horrible again lol.</p>

<p dir="auto">Seriously some weird times in the 2010s.</p>

Roberts and Buchholz are also right up there.<br />
Going to be trying out Wood, Bichette and Santana tonight.</p>
<p dir="auto">Sheffield has been the only card that I haven't enjoyed using during my mini seasons run.</p>

He can't perform worse for me than Pujols so far.</p>
<p dir="auto">I am sure I will come around with Pujols. I seem to start off really hot with a card and then eventually cool down or start cold as ice and eventually heat up</p>
