It Should Be Banned #1 Multi Team Relic's

Here's a card I won from a box break held by Sam over at the now semi retired "Daily Dimwit"
Doe's that make him a weekly Dimwit?

I remember saying give it to the SD spot, but I guess he missed my comment at the time.
It's from 2006 UD Artifacts and It's a Boston Red Sox hit?

Mike Loretta 


Hi guys, I'm not photo-shopped,
I'm wearing my Padres Uni, Here's a piece of my Padres Uni but I'm going to Boston, so I'm a Boston Hit.

I'm not saying this for group break reasons but.

Why does this card exist as it does?


Loretta played for

Milwaukee
Houston
SD
Boston
And the Dodgers

He had a good .295 career Average.

Should Single Relic Multi Team Cards be Banned?

I Forgot I Had It #2 Red Sox Ruth

This is a 2007 UD Masterpieces.


Its my only George Herman Ruth card as a member of the Beantown team.
Of course he played for the Braves too when they were still in Boston.

In my Opinion 2007 is head and shoulders above 2008 Masterpieces.


And back then Ruth was one of the best pitchers.
As such on the back of this cards are pitching stats for "The Sultan of Swat"
Was Ruth really drunk playing? With his numbers and spring training antics, I feel he was sober during season however in the off season he was gone!

You're all still here helping each other pass a boring 5 minutes.

Sadly due to life,
I've not been focused, able or healthy enough to post.

But I've had the odd splurge on EBAY.
And a friend in Maine has been ripping the odd retail pack for me :)

2013 Predictions: Up's : Vol 2


Three more batters who I think will have an up year.


Kevin Youkils - Undervalued Veteran

Runs: 72
Homer's: 19
RBI's: 60
B Average: .235
Steals: 0

2013

Hit's: 149
Runs: 90
Homer's: 25
RBI's: 90
B Average: .269
Steals: 1

Will Middlebrooks - His 1st Full Year


2012

Hit's: 77
Runs: 34
Homer's: 15
RBI's: 54
B Average: .288
Steals: 4

2013

Hit's: 140
Runs: 80
Homer's: 24
RBI's: 80
B Average: .280

Norichika Aoki - A Value OF. 

2012
Hit's: 150
Runs: 81
Homer's: 10
RBI's: 50
B Average: .288
Steals: 30

2013

Hit's: 175
Runs: 85
Homer's: 13
RBI's: 55
B Average: .294
Steals: 30

Youkilis, went to the evil empire to cover for A-Rod, he's not a back up guy, he's a fine 3rd baseman, if your fantasy league has OBP or BB he's a steal at $4. Of course Will Middlebrooks will be more popular with his youth, but it's his first full year, both will have more value than their average draft pick value.

As for Aoki he's old enough & capitalized on an injury or two, keep an eye on him & Corey Hart at milwaukee.
