Strat-O-Matic Baseball 365

Many have said that we don't know what we are getting when we nominate cards, so I've taken some time to put some stats together from some cards, using Diamond Dope and Veterans 1975 for the park, since it's kind of neutral (10,10,10,10). I asked Bill for his permission/blessing to do this. So I'll be posting some card add ideas, thoughts, etc to hopefully keep interest up and give folks some stuff to actually discuss on the boards.

1942 Wally Judnich, SLB, Bats-L, 1R Balance, CF/LF/RF-2(-1)e4

After 3 seasons was on his way to a strong career, then lost 3 years to WWII and was never the same. Good combination of power and OBP, can play all 3 OF spots

His Rookie Year was a strong one, finished 6th in MVP Voting, Look at those numbers vs LHP Again.....

I like Garms, led league in batting. Only usable at 3b.

Only usable at 1b, I think you can get those numbers from quite a few current 1b.

His ONLY year as a starter. I tend to shy away from things like that. A guy who had one season compared to Heinie Manush or somebody who did it season after season...…..

Not a useful card, and was a part time starter in 1942. Never had a meaningful season again. NO

1921 Austin McHenry, STL, Bats-R, E Balance, CF/LF/RF-2(-2)e14
LH--7.8 2b, 1.2 3b, 5.5 HR, 6 BB 433/470/697, 1.167 OPS

Five seasons into a promising career, McHenry started having trouble with his eyesight in the 1922 season. The Cardinals sent him home to rest, and a brain tumor was later detected. McHenry died a couple months later.
The guy was a lifetime .302 hitter in 4+ seasons, and I think that this would be a good add.
