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).

Yeah, 1953 Busby would be in POST

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.

Already on the list, Justin Morneau, 1B 2006

Current players being promoted, please confirm.

SP - Garland Braxton 1928
OF - Torii Hunter 2007

I show bontomn as the lone Senator/Twins Ambassador, anyone else like to official join him?
