Card of the Week - 4/16/14

Happy Wednesday everyone!  I hope you all were able to get your taxes filed yesterday.  Hopefully you didn't have to pay too much in or, even better, you were able to get a refund.

It is in that spirit that I hope to find a way to get you a refund on some of the points that you may have overspent early in a draft.  Granted, getting Mike Trout in the first round isn't overspending, but you may be looking for ways to get some of those points back, and I think I found a corner outfielder that fits the bill (if you decide to save your points on this position).

The card of the week this week features an OB, Speed A (21), LF/RF +2 for a mere 70 points.  That card is...

...the 2013 J.B. Shuck.
Obviously, the downside to this card is his chart.  Many will be turned off by him not reaching base until a 7, or the fact that he doesn't homer.  But as a bottom of the order guy, you get good the good OB, speed, and fielding for a good price.  Team him with Trout in centerfield and possibly Bautista as the other corner OF spot gives you a great OF defense with good speed and good OB.  Plus, he will save you points to possibly make a run at one of the top tier Starters.

I am looking forward to next Wednesday when I can share with everyone about my custom card from last year's #ShotsFriday.

  1. An aggressively costed card to help a low speed league. Hope this one gets some play in many leagues.
