Yeah Freehan over Crandall for sure. Was really hoping for a vR catcher drop but honestly Freehan isn't that far behind McCarver there.

Gehrig has been as good as advertised for me so far, .338/7/23 with 1.169 OPS in 23 games. Klein and Foxx both with .850ish OPS so very solid. Crawford has been a bit slow out of the gate for me though. Pitching wise Gooden has been ok - a bit of BABIP bad luck and mid 4s ERA but about a K per 9 he'll be fine. Lee has been great (sub 2 ERA) through 5 starts, Stieb has been solid mid 3s ERA and Sutter has been average, converting 5 out of 7 saves. Going to be tough to keep him around with all the great starter arms, as he really is better as a righty specialist.

All in all a very good set that added a very good amount of playable cards. RF and 1B were in a surprisingly stale state so they definitely attacked that in the set, plus the obligatory 3-4 SPs worth considering and a couple interesting relievers - and a meta vL catcher to boot.

Honestly I think the coolest card is Sam Crawford to free up some roster spots. He can legit play every defensive position in the OF + 1B, hits lefties well enough to not be a black hole, plus can definitely be a starter vR. I would be surprised if he isn't on almost every PeL roster. 90+ range in a LF is not easy to find so I expect he starts there.
