He often finishes with a better CERA than Berra. This season for me, Elston is hitting .350 with a .378 OBP, I'm sure that will come back to earth some, but he's a solid backup for little investment (that is until the Yankees FOTF comes out, then expect to see him rocket into the 50-60K range -- I think I paid about 21K, his L7 right now is 25K). Also, he can sub in LF and 1B. He has a nice LF defensive rating (79).

I will also state my support for Elston Howard - I'm getting nearly the same results in the Gold League and paid nearly the same price for him. Definitely a solid card, especially against lefties.
