Can Some Cards Be Cursed?
I recently bought an AH 1985 Carlton Fisk (75 rating), and was surprised when I saw the stats he carried over from his previous owner(s).
I got him in 2023, and it seems like he's been riding the bench for four seasons of previous teams, but after accumulating an entire season's worth of ABs over his career, he's hitting .174. (614 ab in 166 GS). Not a very frisky Fisk.
Anyone have the '85 Fisk? How's he hitting for you? I know it makes zero sense, but maybe the OOTP gods have simply vexxed this one particular Fisk, and left his parallel universe counterparts to do some reasonable slugging.
The 30 HR per 162 are nice, but I can't help wonder if he has been dumped multiple times for under-performance, and if anyone else has had a similar issue with other players- acquiring an AH star with a bigtime dud history?
On a positive note, the player he was meant to upgrade- 2017 Salvador Perez (69 rating), is hitting about .240 per year with a 162-game avg of 32 HR. Sometimes Bronze players are great bargains!
