1. 2023 Yandy Diaz TB 1b-3b AS/MVP-6/SS AL batting champion .330/.410/.522 excellent first baseman very playable at 3rd. Would be the offensively-challenged Rays best hitter for average and a huge addition to the franchise! https://365.strat-o-matic.com/player/93640/2023/1/2023
2. 2023 Mookie Betts LAD RF/2B. Betts best year overall (.307 .408 .579), most balanced and career high in Homeruns (39). 1e0-3 in RF. Also can play 2b 2e6 https://365.strat-o-matic.com/player/91946/2023/1/2023
3. 2009 Ryan Howard Phi 1b .279/.360 /.571 1b 3e15 8r 37 doubles 45 homeruns 141 rbi in game injury risk. Howard was a huge threat in the middle of those Philly lineups in the mid/late 2000’s. Only has 1 card this one is very different than that one. https://365.strat-o-matic.com/player/532/2009/1/2009
4. 2023 Ronald Acuna Atlanta Braves RF 41HR .337/.416/.596 https://365.strat-o-matic.com/player/93995/2023/1/2023
5. 1967 Hoyt Wilhelm, White Sox, RHRP, 3 inning endurance. 8-3 1.31 1.034 12 saves. Career best ERA. Wilhelm was the first relief pitcher admitted to the HOF, the first pitcher to have 1000+ appearances & 50+ years later is 6th all time in games pitched. His 2 relief pitcher cards don’t do him justice as arguably the best relief pitcher of his era and Wilhelm is long overdue for a more usable relief pitcher card. https://max.strat-o-matic.com/stats-and ... pe=Pitcher
6. 1904 Fred Glade, SLB, RHP, 18-15 (on a team that won only 65 games), 2.27 era, 2.17 fip, 1.059 whip. The "Millionaire Ballplayer" (because of his family's ownership of what would eventually become ConAgra). Supposedly the fastest pitcher of the era. Pitched à la Luis Tiant, with a 180-degree twist. 16th in career FIP. No card.

7. 1885 Buck Ewing, NYG, C-RF-3B-CF, RH, .304/.330/.471. No card in the set like this one. HOF Catcher rated 1(-4)e16. Stealing A *4-7(17-14). Run 1-15. Bunt-B/H&R-B, 15 DO, 12 TR, 6 HR. 4.6 WAR. Only 2 gbA per side. Clutch neutral. BBMax link: https://max.strat-o-matic.com/stats-and ... ype=Batter. Read more: https://forum-365.strat-o-matic.com/com ... 7934ec2d40
8. 1898 Clark Griffith CHC SP. 1.88 ERA, 10.7 WAR. Best season of a 20 year career. Hall of Famer with one middling card currently
9. 2023 Corey Seager TEX Left hand hitting 3R Shortstop with a 1013 OPS. Will be very cheap with a 3 injury rating and 312 rating.
10. Ernie Banks played more games at 1B than he did at SS, yet all we have are SS cards for him. I'd like to nominate the 1962 Banks 1B card. (And if we insist on a SS card, could we at least get his gold glove season of 1960?)
11. 1917 Art Nehf Boston Braves 1.01 Whip 233 Innings is by far his best year, and a dramatic improvement over his current cards, none of which are even his top 5 years.
12. 1971 Willie Montanez PHI OF Career high in HR (30) & RBI (99). Max 3 game injury. LH power hitter dominates righties. Huge improvement on current '77 card.
13. 2016 Madison Bumgarner, SF, SP, his best season overall in terms of ERA+ (146), 2.74 ERA, 1.02 WHIP, 226 IP (career high), 251 strikeouts (career high), 54 walks, 6N for hitting. https://365.strat-o-matic.com/player/91308/2016/1/2016
14. 1978 Jon Matlack Tex P - Set a career best in era (2.27) and WHIP (1.12). Rangers only have 2 useable Left handed starters. Matlack spent 6 years with Texas and this card would surely get some use.
15. 1908 Elmer Steele Boston SP/RP .83 whip
16. 1923 Charlie Jamieson, LF, Cleveland Indians. We have 3 Jamieson seasons, but not his best! He hit .345, his OBP was .422 with 36 doubles, 12 triples, 2 homers and 18 steals, plus he is bulletproof this season!
