Sierra is the perfect grid guy. He played for a ton of teams. Has 2000 hits. 300 HR. Except for the Rangers is always a low-ish score.

Just as long as you don’t use him for Texas…

You’re new to the game. That’s Ok. The fail safe is Reuben Sierra for a low score or an obvious one like Joe Carter or Scott Rolen or Tony Fernandez for a high one.

I think I’ve learned more first rounders playing this game! Like Wade Miley.

Lewis grew up 20 minutes from me in Hamilton, which is why I know all his teams. in the most random spots. Reggie: three teams? Tampa Bay. Reds. Phillies. True find. Used him over Herm Winningham.

I kind of don’t mind WAR either because that’s an insane test. And it just measures how good a player was. Though it’s bonkers to see—saw the other day, that Fernando never had a 6 WAR season! Crazy! The Silver Slugger….an award Joey Votto never won.
