Ranking the BALs

thejojo · 05-14-2021, 10:57 AM

How would you rank the BALs? Rank your top ten cards in order.
Mine would be:
1. Rose
2. Heilmann
3. McRae
4. Raines
5. Wainwright
6. Glavine
7. Hudson
8. Mussina
9. Marichal
10. Sandberg

(There have been some I haven't seen like Fernandez, Lucroy, Beltre, Piazza and Guidry)

I would probably put the pitchers at or near the top...Wainwright, Glavine, Hudson & Mussina are all looking great.

Of the ones you missed, Fernandez & Piazza are probably top 10. Fernandez has got that contact/gap/avoidK profile people like, and they gave Piazza a lot of catcher ability (91) to go along with his strong bat.

McRae is probably NOT top 10... good bat but horrible defense means he is only a DH option at best. Even so, his bat is not as good as Rose or Heilmann.

I have many of these perfects and they have altered the game in a negative way.

I think you have to look at these relative to the players available at each position.

Hitting wise- Beltre is the best player to get. His defense and hitting are better than any 3B in the game that I know of.

Helton is up there. He is better than Eddie Murray who was consistently going in the 150k range.

For those without these, the sharp move is to get the other perfects players are unloading. Example- I got Rolen for 47k on the market. I sold him for like 85k last week. He is no Beltre but for the price it is a great deal. Josh Gibson, who I unloaded for like 150k is now around 100k
