17.4 Card Add direction...

How about 1953 Hank Thompson LH power-hitting 3b for platoon vs righties?

.302/.400/.567/.967 overall, with .321/.424/.619/1.043 vs righties... MVP-24, 13 errors

would definitely consider-- stats lookin good to me.
How is he balanced R wise and what is the fielding range?

Should be about an 8R...his only other card is from '54 and he is a 2 at 3b.

He's a 4R, 3b-3e21, RF-4(+1)7, 2b-4e23

It is a card based on very limited games played but 1953 Ted Williams is a very nice card. 15 game injury guy but as I recall the injury roll is on either 2 or 12. Normally I would be against a card with such limited plate appearances but it is one of the greats and the numbers were so low due to his being in Korea in military service

Sounds like a good choice to me-- ill add him and we can try to figure out where to slot it.
how does the card look?

Starting to take shape--I like Thompson now over Heine Zimmerman who is much more of a DH card.

13. John McGraw 1899 3B BA .391 OBP .505 SLG .446 OPS .994 (better year by a fair bit) 1R Balance, 3b-3e41. IMO, this card would move McGraw into a stratosphere that I don't think his overall career deserves.
14. 1953 Hank Thompson BA. 302 OBP .400 SLG. 567 OPS .969 4R, 3b-3e21, RF-4(+1)7, 2b-4e23/Heinie Zimmerman 1912 3b plus BA .372 OBP .418 SLG .579 OPS .989 1L Balance, 3b-3e43, 1b-4e27.
15. Bill Joyce 1894 3B PA459 AB355 BA .355 OBP .496 SLG .698 OPS 1.143 1R Balance, 3b-4e65

Id probably change in Clements for someone since he can at least be used in the field and hit a bunch.

Its probably worthy. Was trying to limit the number of cards from top guys w/ multiple cards, which is why I wasn't initially sure about Hornsby--
but if people are interested in this one would be happy to add it in .

The 1953 Ted is a 9R. LF-4(+2)e8. His injury is 2-4 vs lhp and 2-10 vs rhp

Would you use it over the current 12 mil teddy?
Seems like a great hitting card though, but dh.

I posted this in the Orioles thread
John Lowenstein 1982 platoon king 320/415/602 (98% of his 384 plate appearances were against righties) ONE CARD, this is a huge upgrade

I probably wouldn't, because of the unusable defense. I really have a problem with small sample-size cards, though my problem is usually those outlier small-sample cards elevate an average player past where he should be. THIS card obviously doesn't do that, since Ted is an all-time great, but I'd be inconsistent if I said I liked this as an add, as well as the floodgates of Roger Freed's it would unleash.
