While I'm OK with my Pete Rose/Roy White platoon in LF I can't for the life of me understand how Carbo's card is 20 points higher than the Rose card. While I understand Bernie will hit for a lot more power, outside of that eye and outfield arm the Rose card is better. I get the emphasis on power and eye I just don't get where the gap between the two in overall is 20 points. I compared to Rose and not White as Rose would have to come out if I had bought Carbo since White is is trained up in CF (and in comparison I don't think Carbo is enough of an upgrade-if he is at all to spend a third of my PP on).

Am I missing something?

What about his speed and defense? Are those the same between Carbo and Rose? Those are part of the overall as well.
