It is our own score for how good a card is. Rather than trust the number the game prints on the front, it reads the card's actual ratings — power, contact, fielding and the rest — and weighs them the way the game appears to. It runs past 100 because those underlying ratings do.

What the market is doingthe asking price, and what it is really selling for
The cheapest listing is 88, while the last 200 sales averaged 48 (in 22 hours). Paying the asking price here means paying above what the card has been changing hands for. 200 sales in 22 hours.
What he actually does
A contact hitter first — average contact against poor power. The splits matter here: average power against right-handers and poor against lefties, so he is a different hitter depending on who is pitching. Slow, and no help on the bases. Poor in the field for a second baseman.
