What's wrong with the Bonds card? Good OBP and a 1R. I'm sure he will get used more in RF than CF though. Biggio doesn't thrill me at +2, but in certain scenarios that can work fine.

Not sure how anyone can be certain that a card won't be used without knowing the price of the card.

Bill...
What I'm certain about is that it's very hard to win with a 3 in CF. If that 3 hit .400 with .500 OB and 1.00 SLG, it's a different story.
In a theme league using Yankee Stadium, why go with a righty bat that's a 3? (Unless it was the 5L Henderson to protect, who is a 2 in CF) You want as many lefty bats as possible. You want Murcer or Williams
And I'd rather use Winfield in RF. Why? He's a 1.(If you want a righty bat in RF, Winfield is a better choice than Bonds.)

From a 'Yankees' playing in Yankee Stadium perspective I agree, especially for CF, and I'd rather have the 1984 Winfield card added to use in RF. The 1975 Bonds card would still be a potentially good addition to the set, in my view, just not for the reason he was nominated.

All depends on how much his card is Senor Visick. Right now if you're playing an EXP Yankees team in a Franchise league you are hurting big time against lefties in CF. Murcer is your best CF against RHP. Rickey is almost 8m for a platoon in CF and probably gets snatched up by an A's franchise. Bernie also around 8m, that's a pricy platoon. My only other option is Roberto Kelly? If they price Bonds at around 4-5m I can use him as a platoon, injury replacement or as an extra bat/DH against RHP that are 4L-9L. Sounds like a good deal to me. There are no other great Yankee Power CF seasons from Murcer to Bernie. Cannot WAIT to nominate 2022 Judge.

I think you also hated the 1983 NYY Smalley nomination. Besides Jeter there are ZERO good offensive Exp SS seasons which means Dent .88 or Jete. 50 years of garbage Shortstops. If I want a 4 SS who's probably 3m so I actually don't have an offensive hole at the position in an 80m league that should be my prerogative. It was a BRILLIANT nomination. Pure. Genius. Might have to have one of my Cyber buddies hack him into the set.
