Strat-O-Matic Baseball 365

One direction discussed for an upcoming player add was to focus on high end cards, ones that would be able to make an impact at higher caps. Please use this string to post those nominations so we can come up with a solid list if we go that direction.

For hitters, and ignoring pre 1900 players with cartoonish stats, there are still quite a few 1000 OPS players. I'll list two Astros and one Brown

Moises Alou 2000. 517 PA, 355/416/623 1.039 151 OPS+
Richard Hidalgo 2000 644 PA 314/391/636 1.028 147 OPS+ No card
Harry Rice 1925 420 PA 359/450/568 1.018 152 OPS+ No card 5th in MVP

And here's a 1.174 OPS. Sosa's best year
2001 700+ PA 328/437/737 1.174 203 OPS+ 2nd in MVP

Im typing this despite dismay about the last card add not happening yet again (again, not rosie, feel like I have to say this a million times).


Some guy named

Robinson Cano 8R card.

1966 Sandy Koufax http://365.strat-o-matic.com/player/36594/1660/1/60

George Sisler 1922 420/467/594 TWO CARDS, missing this MVP year
Ken Williams 1923 357/439/623 THREE CARDS, missing his best year

Barney Pelty 1906 .951 WHIP 260 ip ONE CARD huge upgrade
Jack Powell 1908 1 whip 273 ip, ONE CARD, upgrade
Fred Glade 1906 1.03 whip 266 ip NO CARD

Why doesn't Strat just add all the cards available? They have all but 2 seasons available for the Windows game.The online game has how many players? 2,000 plus? In the entire history of MLB there have been over 19,000 major league baseball players.Granted that includes the one AB one IP careers.Leagues can always be custom made to limit an over - indulgence of superstar cards per league.Its SOM's game on their website there shouldn't be licensing issues.

I suggest we just have a card nomination again for 50 cards. We open it up again except this time we ask for everyone to nominate a pitcher and a hitter and then we do a poll for each and take the top 25 for each.

Top numbers are at petco 1/1/1/1 and the bottom numbers are wrigley 18/18/18/18
