#1: Nope the Cards have mastered both ends of that market. It's true they don't have prospects, they just have an endless supply chain of Duncan, Descalso, Freese, Ludwick, Schumaker, Craig, Adams, Jay, Piscotty, Grichuk, Diaz, Pham, Gyorko, DeJong, Bader, Edman, O'Neill, Carlson, Nootbar. I'm pretty sure their Cards' WAR adds up to about 200 and their post-Cards WAR about 5.

Making more money, living a better and happier life are always the top wishes we secretly and sometimes openly have for ourselves at the beginning of every year and 2022 will not be an exception. In addition to money, we wish ourselves and friends and neighbors alike good health, bountiful blessings, God's grace and happiness but we know if we have more money it means God has answered all our prayers. To strive to make the New Year better than the previous one, we write down New Year resolutions and pray that all our wishes come to pass. Best Books of the Year 2022
