The next Card Add focus will be non-EXP cards, but I want to leverage our 16.2 vote so here's the breakdown by group of the card adds for 17.1. 17.1 is expected to be in March.

1) 6 EXP Cards (3 each Pitcher and Batter)
2) 10 PostPreDB (PPD) Cards (5 each Pitcher and Batter)
3) 4 Low End Role playing type Cards from PPD
4) 5 Cards from the PPD ERAs, any combo of Pitcher/Batter

THIS POLL
1) 6 EXP Cards
Batters
-Mike Piazza, NYM 2000 and Evan Longoria, TBR 2009 were the next two highest vote getters in 16.2, they're in.
-We will vote to include one more from the following list:
Andres Galaraga, COL '93
Willie Davis, LAD '71
Terry Pendleton, BRV '91
Luis Castillo, FLA 2003
Ken Singleton, BAL 1977

Vote for 1
Voting will be open through Wed, Nov 30

Last/First/Year/Franchise/Position/Cards in ATG/Yrs in Career/Notes and Qualifications

Why Singleton?

1977 was not a fluke year. Yes, he has three cards now, but did you know that he finished in the top 10 in MVP voting 4 times, and not one of those years is represented? The best card we currently have he finished 21st in MVP voting. He was a great player severely underpresented in SOM, and he plays SOM and talks it about as a broadcaster, so I showed him the love.

17.1 is expected to be in March.


Shouldn't it be February? We voted 16.2 in early November; three months later is early February.

Yes you're right, I think I was just hedging a little. But should be right on time if we are going to have the next set of players ready and waiting.
