17.3 Player Add - Player results

Unlike lets say, if I were the embodiment of a certain snack food, where my word was literally meaningless.

Ding Dongs?

IF only the ...were well, not wishing that much ill on anyone.

Anyway-- although Cano for me of course is number one--
I can easily see Rob Murphy being used a ton, and will be in every high cap league.
Same with Heilmann card for sure, and probably Sissy.
Maybe Kemp although I didn't have a good experience with him in the 07-14 league, the card still looks pretty good.

I'm excited to announce our class of 17.3!

And Cano didn't have a good card. For some reason the card HAL made up off Cano's excellent 2010 year is just a dud.

Similarly, Joe Morgan had a couple of meh cards off great years, but then with 1976 he got a really good one.

Also, the 2008 Rays set will be mostly new players, so those names can be added to this new twenty.

I'm not even a Yankees fan at all, but Cano deserves to have a good usable card.

There are a few more guys who also do which we will hopefully get to talk about for next time.
ones I can actually look at the cards...

2011 Jose Bautista
2014 McCutcheon
2112 Votto (3 inj) is a Much better card
2007 Chipper Jones
2014 Tulo (inj also) but again a MUCH MUCH better card
2009 Adrian Gonzalez
2014 Giancarlo Stanton
2008 Furcal (5 inj)

2011 Josh Johnson (5R no star sp) plus he deserves a card
2012 Kris Medlen
2013 Matt Harvey

2009 Mike Adams
2010 Joel Peralta
2007 Rafael Betencourt
2012 Craig Kimbrel
2012 Fernando Rodney
2010 Hong Chih Kuo

McCutchen and Furcal I would definitely vote for!
