Early thoughts on possible Yankee additions:
1/ Elston Howard. 1964 season. Yeah, it would make five cards, but he was an essential part of late 50s/early 60s baseball. His possible best all-around card. The only year over 600 PAs (1 injury). Not a lot of GIDPs. http://365.strat-o-matic.com/player/35630/1660/1/60
2/ Larry Milbourne. 1981 season. A better card than what we have. Would be a nice backup infielder with good ops (.749/118 ops+). Looks like he isn't necessarily as bad defensively as SOM would like us to believe. Switch-hitter, probably a 3R.
3/ Robinson Cano. 2012 season. The ultimate platoon card for higher caps (8R). His best OPS+, his most power, a 1e6. Take a look: http://365.strat-o-matic.com/player/182/2012/1/2012
And while we're at it....could we please get Yankee Stadium 1927? Possibly the greatest team in history has to play all of its games away????
