Speaking of underrated Expos... Moises Alou is one of my favorite cards. He was my gold (82 OVR) in the Beta starter pack. He performed so well for me there that I just had to have him when I found him at a good price, even though my OF was strong and my team is still full of holes. The only problem is that the card is his 1998 season, when he was an Astro. Hopefully this is not his only card in the game, but I've not encountered any alternatives yet. |

Btw... My favorite rating on that Tim Wallach card?
Definitely the 107 positional defense rating as a Pitcher |

Michael Feliz has been a solid bronze
He destroys righties. Too many BB/9 against lefties, but still not letting them score. He pitched well in Beta, too, but don't have those numbers.

Presently, a Dick Ellsworth card at 5k in the AH. This guy is a beast, throw like 3-4 Maddux per season. He give me a perfect game too and always in the 2.00-3.00 era range.

The original poster recommended Matty Alou, and I heartily agree with that recommendation. I saw several of them put up good numbers in the entry pool and now a pair of them are putting up respectable numbers in my current league.
I've gone with a different but similar card in center field: Mickey Rivers. He's rated 68, and he is excellent at four things: contact (71), gap (74), defense (75), and speed (85). By way of comparison, my Rivers card is currently batting .315/.324/.464 with a 1.018 defensive efficiency and +2.1 zone rating. The two Matty Alou cards in my league are batting .320/.339/.405 and .298/.322/.407. Their defensive efficiencies are 1.003 and .998, and their zone ratings are +1.0 and -4.0. It's the good center field defense that I really like. If I just do a player search in my league and sort by center field defense, I see a bunch of all-glove no-bat players (Kevin Pillar, Byron Buxton, Billy Hamilton, etc.), and then I get to Mickey Rivers and A.J Polllock, both on 75, and they're the first ones with what I would consider to be good bats. (And Pollock, a gold card, costs far more than the bronze Rivers.)

And there's one Matty Alou in my league that's hitting .372. Was leading the league in BA but looks like he's a few AB short now. |

Ty Blach (62) has been really good for me so far this season. He's listed as RP but use him as SP. He's 10-3 in 17 starts with a 2.21 ERA.

Dillon Maples (59, iirc) is a scrub pitcher who is seriously punching above his weight. ERA in the 2.00's in the entry league, around 3.00 in the bronze league. He's a bit of a crapshoot with his 17 Control, but he makes up for it with 117 Stuff and 65 Movement. He's gotten me some surprise pitching achievement points.
Edit: His ratings are clearly generated off his year at AAA this season where he had a K/9 of 17.5. Double Edit: Nevemind. He was at 18.6 with the Cubs. Yeesh.

still chugging along with my 57 rated relief pitcher (posted him in the 'all iron' thread)... his era was just above 2 last night, so we'll see how he fared this month when I check in later. |

I'd tell him to hit the bull, but I don't think he has advance as far as Throw It In The Neighborhood 101.

Earl Webb does nothing well except hit, but he does that pretty well for 250+/- PP. Has paid for himself many times over.

It's okay, though. With my points from my all-stars, used that money to buy card packs, and drew a Sale card. Now got the tough call of trying to sell him for a nice return, or throwing him into my rotation and enjoying a top card. |
