I am at the point where I ignore almost all Live cards except possibly relievers I know will perform well. I'm not a young man anymore, either, and although I still follow baseball, I like reminiscing about it more, I think.

Chipper or Caminiti are good choices for an offensive 3B. I am not sure about their platoon advantages but you can use Baseball Reference to get an idea. There is a gold George Brett that is very good too but doesn't hit LHP well. Same with the gold Wade Boggs.
Interesting. So Chicken Dinner Boggs couldn't hit lefties, eh? That means he must've been insane against righties.

Thanks for the additional recommends!
