Compared to his best current card, 7.05m, CHC, Bats-L, 2R Balance, LF-2(0)e3, RF-3e3
LH-- 7.3 2b, 0 3b, 5.3 HR, 1 BB 381/392/598, .998 OPS
RH--5.6 2b, 0.5 3b, 11.1 HR, 12 BB 368/444/787, 1.131 OPS
Similar vs LHP, power improvement vs RHP, nice added flexibility with 1b eligibility


1962 Frank Robinson, CIN, Bats-R, 1R Balance, 342/421/624, 1.045 OPS. LF/RF-2(0)e2, Bulletproof.

RH--7.3 2b, 0.3 3b, 15.3 HR, 20 BB 417/546/1.055, 1.601 OPS
A more balanced card than the 9.45m, better vs LHP than 9.45m, 9.45m still better vs RHP

RH--6.3 2b, 0.3 3b, 12.5 HR, 10 BB 352/460/844, 1.304 OPS
Gonna Double vs LHP and Homer vs RHP, not amazing OBP, but very nice defense.


1923 Tris Speaker CLE, Bats-L, E Balance, 380/469/610, 1.079 OPS. CF/LF/RF-1(-4)e13

RH--11.8 2b, 2.1 3b, 3.3 HR, 17 BB 533/611/818, 1.429 OPS
HR bump more than makes up for miniscule loss of OBP. You'll like......

RH--2.4 2b, 1.3 3b, 5.9 HR, 8 BB 287/340/513, .853 OPS
More balanced card, should be nice for KC exp, though not a 1 in CF.


1980 Mike Easler PIT, Bats-L, 7R Balance, 338/396/583, .987 OPS, LF/RF-4(+1)e5
LH--3.6 2b, 0 3b, 2 HR, 5 BB 229/265/322. .587 OPS
RH--9.6 2b, 1 3b, 10.5 HR, 11 BB 430/488/874, 1.363 OPS
No need to post his scrub card. Should be fun...….


2002 Barry Bonds SF, Bats-L, 4L Balance, 370/582/799, 1.381 OPS, LF-2(+2)e10, Steal:*4/-(16-6)

RH--4.4 2b, 0 3b, 24.3 HR, 40 BB 447/672/1.652, 2.324 OPS
Kind of a flip from his 3R card. I wish Ted Williams had a bunch of steroid-induced cards......


1937 Zeke Bonura, CWS, Bats R, 1L Balance, 345/412/573, .985 OPS, 1b-4e17

RH--3.6 2b, 0.3 3b, 6.8 HR, 2 BB 280/300/512, .812 OPS
Much better card for Bonura


1936 Lou Gehrig NYY, Bats-L, 1R Balance, 354/478/696, 1.174 OPS, 1B-3e9
LH--4.75 0.80 12.75 27 1 0.425 0.574 0.982 1.557 OPS

similar, better vs LHP


2001 Cliff Floyd, FLA, Bats-L, E Balance, 317/390/578, .968 OPS, LF-3(0)e9, Steal: *7/-(19-12)
LH--6.3 2b, 2.2 3b, 10 HR, 4 BB 377/423/784, 1.207 OPS

good Marlin add

RH--5.7 2b, 5.2 3b, 0 HR, 12 BB 504/564/674, 1.238 OPS
Not posting his cheap card, lots of hits here


1961 Eddie Mathews MLN, Bats-L, 2L Balance, 306/402/535, .937 OPS, 3B-2e19
LH--0 2b, 0 3b, 15.3 HR, 17 BB 405/504/913, 1.418 OPS
RH--5 2b, 1.8 3b, 6.7 HR, 20 BB 384/504/711, 1.215 OPS

LH--5.1 2b, 1.5 3b, 14.5 HR, 20 BB 357/482/951, 1.433 OPS
RH-5.1 2b, 1.8 3b,15 HR, 20 BB 369/492/985, 1.477 OPS
Didn't compare to the 9m card because the 8m has the best offense.


1974 Johnny Bench, CIN, Bats-R, 3R Balance, 280/365/507, .872 OPS, C-1(-4)e2, 1b-4e24, 3b-4e18

RH--7.7 2b, 0 3b, 9.3 HR, 13 BB 312/401/689, 1.090 OPS
Compared to best current card, 7.69m, CIN, Bats-R, 4L Balance, C-1(-4)e7, 1b-3e22, 3b-4e37, LF/CF-4(-1)e25
LH--10.4 2b, 0.5 3b, 19.9 HR, 2 BB 354/366/1.025, 1.391 OPS
RH--6.2 2b, 0.6 3b, 10.2 HR, 8 BB 318/369/698, 1.067 OPS
Compared also to another Bench card I like, 5.28m, CIN, Bats-R, E Balance, c-1(-4)e3, RF/LF-4(-1)e10, 1b-4e30
LH--11.7 2b, 0 3b, 7 HR, 4 BB 320/351/637, .988 OPS
RH--8.9 2b, 0 3b, 8.8 HR, 14 BB 310/406/687, 1.093 OPS
I'm guessing this new 1974 card will be the cheapest Bench card. Probably in the 4.25m range


1917 Ty Cobb, DET, Bats-L, E Balance, 383/444/570, 1.014 OPS, RF/LF-2(0)e11, CF-3(0)e11, Steal: *3-6/- (19-15)

RH--9.9 2b, 6.6 3b, 1.4 HR, 10 BB 546/592/827, 1.419 OPS
Compared to best hitting current Cobb card, 9.99, DET, Bats-L, E Balance, CF/RF-2(0)e12, Steal: *3-6/- (19-15)
LH--6.3 2b, 6.6 3b, 2 HR, 6 BB 585/612/836, 1.448 OPS
RH--6.2 2b, 6.4 3b, 1.8 HR, 6 BB 574/601/814, 1.415 OPS
Not as good as 9.99 card. Is NOT a 15 game INJ risk like the 9.99 card, though.

cool-- good to see this because its a good idea of what we are actually getting.

if we do this for future votes too that would be fantastic.

I’m Glad to do it if Bill will give me a chance to put it up before voting starts, once nominations are in.

I really appreciate the time you put in here Andy, and I also hope we can delay voting until your analysis. I think th eoutcome would have been different in a few places.

Thanks Andy (and thanks Bill)!

I don't care what anyone says...I'm looking forward to that Harry Walker card...

A lot really depends on the pricing. The Gehrig not being bulletproof might get the price down enough to give it value.

Really excited about Chipper's card. One of my favorites growing up. I wish Bob Allison would have gotten in this time. Really want a good Allison card to go with Killebew.

That should work just fine Andy, thanks. We will get started on 19.3 nominations sometime next month, so we will certainly have time for a pre-vote analysis of the nominees.

Ive been trying to get the Chipper card in for over a year now- and am happy hes finally in.
Got to play with it in the 2007-2014 leagues

Also happy to see the cards stats coming into play for all of us - that will be a nice upgrade to the process,
which I think is already improved. Please continue similarly.
