Does Sammy have the motivation (and luck of staying healthy) to hit 600?

With any luck, it could take just 3 more years.

He could do it next year with a couple of 50 HR seasons.

he could do it this year ifg he was god, if he stays for 5 more he could have the over 700 maybe an AL team is looking for a DH.

I traded him and a 01 Manny Ramirez for an 01 Soriano and 02 Vick. The 01 Soriano's CV now though is up to $69 so maybe I was smart.

I think Sammy's got a good attitude and hopefully he can stay healthy. Griffey's injury on the field could easily have happened and can still happen to him. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that Sosa will continue. It's great to see someone behind Bonds, even if he's in Bonds' dust.

Sammy is a monster in the batters box,
I agree with Plunge - Sosas attitude toward the game is great.

I'm not a seller. I should start to as I could make some decent money in this etopps game. Right now even with all my bad transactions that I made when I first started etopps, my port is up 133% of what I paid. If Hinske ever decides he wants to start hitting the damn baseball, I'll be up a lot more than that too.

Iggy, if I may impart some of my stock market wisdom to ya:

you never go broke selling for a profit.

as they say on Wall Street: bulls make money; bears make money; pigs get slaughtered!! and Cash is King!

Well I first wanted to build up a nice port. Then when I decided to sell, I could then take those profits and flip them into more etopps cards. Stage 1 was building my port which I like where I'm at now. Stage 2 is wait till I see a baseball spike and then SELL SELL SELL!

Iggy..nice strategy. I don't know anything about how Etopps works, so I cannot legitimately comment one way or the other.
