I could see A Jones getting an upgraded card (year 2000 for example at a 95-97 range). Would have more contact and speed, but less power. Agreed that J Carter wouldn't be better than a 96-97. I would actually be just fine with an upgraded Will Clark or PS Panda (2012 version) at this point. lol
Side note: kinda happy the Giants resigned him. With the expanded rosters this year, having a switch hitting option off the bench (and it won't hurt if he is healthy enough to throw a few innings after he recovers).
