Featured Card of the Week:
68 LF One Hit Wonder Brennan Boesch 2011
Brennan is a great lefty slugger for bronze or capped tournaments. His glove is subpar, but with his bat he is still worth consideration. He’s a very well-rounded hitter for a bronze, though he is probably best to platoon out vs lefty starters. His rating line vs RHP is a solid 62/60/72/48/50. He is also a normal (not pull) lefty hitter. His speed is rather ordinary but at least he’s not real slow.

In real life, Brennan went to high school in the LA area, played for the California Golden Bears and was drafted by the Tigers in the third round. His career peak were his first two major-league seasons with the Tigers. He was a two-time AL rookie of the month in 2010 and his second season (upon which this card is based) saw him hit .283/.341/.458 in 472 PA. He hit a double in the first pitch he saw in the majors, and his first career ML homer was a grand slam. For those looking for a card who is hot coming out of the gates in tournament play, perhaps this card has a little extra something.
