1946 Mickey Vernon - batting champ, needs a better card

1948 Ray Scarborough - need some better SP options for Senators

1945 Roger Wolff -ditto

I'd encourage the ambassadors to point out the holes of each franchise to help focus the debates.

Vernon should be a no-doubter, with Wolff a close second. Should also consider 1942 Stan Spence (.323, .384, .432 and bulletproof), filling a big postwar hole, along with 1928 Garland Braxton (13-11, 2.51, 1.012), who could also close.

Senators POST needs
SPs-48 Ray Scarborough, 59 Pascual
Need RP options
Need 2b
Need CF, no viable options, though that is probably actually the fault of the 40s & 50s Senators

Senators PRE needs
SP depth--1945 Roger Wolff, 1944 knuckle-baller Mickey Haefner, neither has an ATG card
RP--depth, Tom suggests 1928 Garland Braxton
1b---1946 Mickey Vernon, WAS needs some hitters
3b--1939 Buddy Lewis, improves his 1.00m card
CF--No ideas.....Tom? I hear you on 1942 Stan Spence but I have a feeling his defense may be weak?

Senators PRE Needs:

1b--Vernon is a must

3b--Buddy Lewis

OF--42 Stan Spence (not sure about his defense) or 34 Heinie Manush, both of them Senators mainstays for several years.

SP--45 Roger Wolff or 28 Garland Braxton (has no card), who also could be used as a closer.

CF--best legitimate option is 53 Jim Busby (whose only card now is WEAK), unless we add yet another Speaker card (1927, Tris' only year with the team).

A few suggestions for the Senators:

1/ Frank LaPorte. 1912 season. This righthand hitting 2B (also plays the OF) came over from the Browns near the end of the season. 118 ops+. Could be of some help for the DB senators.

2/ Goose Goslin. 1928 season. His BEST season. Led the league in hitting (.379). 176 OPS+, 1.056 OPS, .442 OBP. Probably a 2R.

3/ Fred Schulte. 1933 season. Came over from the Browns (sensing a pattern here) and immediately helped the Senators win the pennant. Defensive backbone in centerfield, this righthand hitter deserves a card. .295 BA, 105 ops+, 30 doubles.
