17.2 Card Add - Use this string to review nominations

FWIW...

Baseball Reference shows Hearn as a SP in 1950.

It looks like he was strictly a reliever with the Cardinals (6 games) in the early part of the year before being picked up on waivers by the Giants in June. He would probably thus be a SP/RP (no *) (22 games/16 starts/6 relief appearances/11 complete games). Led the league in ERA and shutouts.

We'll keep the nominations open until April 18th or until we get to 100, then we'll vote.

Hey packleader...you nominated Cesar Tovar '68 which is great, but then teased us with his 'best season '70'. So before I close the nominations I gotta ask which one??

1968 - 272/326/372/698, every position, 647AB/31db/35sb
1970 - 300/356/442/798, OF/2B/3B, 702AB/36db/13tr/30sb

Having been through this card add process a few times now I have a sense of what cards have a chance of making it. I don't think the fact that he played all 9 positions (which is cool!) will carry his '68 card through (and as Andy pointed out he'll be unusable at C and probably SS), especially with his solid '70 staring us in the face.

No guarantees but I know this group appreciates the good utility guy.

So staying with '68 or going with '70?
tks

It looks like he was strictly a reliever with the Cardinals (6 games) in the early part of the year before being picked up on waivers by the Giants in June. He would probably thus be a SP/RP (no *) (22 games/16 starts/6 relief appearances/11 complete games). Led the league in ERA and shutouts.

Strat had him as a SP9/RP3 when they first introduced the Advanced 1950 set. In my replay of that year, i had the giants and won the league (beating the tigers)! basically riding hearn the whole way through, inspiring by the real life Jim Konstanty performance in 1950.

I hope we can throw in thomasmore's 57 mantle before the curtain falls. Assuming his favorite is better than not giving him a nomination.

stratoholic - don't want to leave you out before I close the nominations, which one do you want us to vote on?

54. Don Aase '79,'80,'81 a solid reliever for Angels
55. Jim Abbott '91 a special pitcher with a handicap that didn't deter him
56. Glenn Davis '88 only has 1 card and this is a better year
57. Antonio Alfonseca '00 6 fingered closer
58. Matty Alou '69, '71 need more of his exploits in Strat
59. Jesus Alou '65, '70 as well as his brothers!
60. Bob Apodaca '74, '75 a solid reliever for bad Mets teams
61. Tony Armas '80,'82,'84 had some good years not reflected in strat
62. Ed Armbrister '76 the man, the myth. what could have been
63. Pedro Astacio '99 a strong starter for a few years

I hope we can throw in thomasmore's 57 mantle before the curtain falls. Assuming his favorite is better than not giving him a nomination.

yes. For the few guys that nominated more than one, if we don't hear back from them we'll do our best to include the one we think they would've gone with, or just the first one listed (in the case of stratoholic)

We will also pause briefly to see who the Barnstormers Champ picks, that's about wrapped up.

could you explain what that means?
