I've got 7/10 of the Dodgers missions done. Pecking away...pecking away...

The most recent prize was a 99 Bob Caruthers after I pulled the trigger on a Whit Wyatt for 30K. Initially, I was very underwhelmed by the 99 Caruthers as a 99-rated historical diamond. Didn't seem to match up too well with ones like Brecheen, Blue, etc. But, then I noticed that the value of this 99 Caruthers might be more as a 2-way tournament player. The pitching ratings are fine (good, even) for rounding out a higher-cap starting rotation. But, the batting ratings are probably also good enough to DH him or play him in LF. If you can nab a good pitcher and good batter for 99 salary cap points total--that's a pretty nice value.

EDIT: I also just noticed that this Caruthers is both a phenomenal baserunner and a fantastic sac bunter.
