The first Tuesday in May brings us a couple of new packs in the Show Shop.
Headliners Pack 12
Postseason 3B Troy Glaus (Los Angeles Angels)
For being a rather under-the-radar addition, Glaus' 90 overall Postseason card checks in as a top-10 3B according to True Overall.
This version of Glaus is fairly well rounded offensively, and looks like a prototypical 5 or 6-hole hitter in your lineup. He features solid Fielding at 83 with a Gold shield at 3B and the ability to play SS, though his 52 Speed might hinder his abilities up the middle.
Overall, a fine card that may not necessarily find a home in most lineups. With more and more collection cards hitting, the "top tier" crowd might find themselves incredibly underwhelmed with cards like this. Those of us on the No Money Spent highway, however, get another interesting option to consider.
Headliners 12 is currently available in the Show Shop for 7,500 Stubs per pack, with a purchase limit of 5 packs per user.
