ATG 8 Player Addition Nomination Thread

Luis Gonzales, Arizona Diamondbacks, 2001

I'm probably too late (after two days!) but it's about time ATG had someone from the Federal League, which every authority ranks as a Major League.

Benny Kauff 1914

Benny Kauff was called the “Ty Cobb of the Feds.” TO THIS DAY HE HAS THE 36TH ALL-TIME HIGHEST CAREER OPS+ (149), a great stat for comparing players from different leagues and eras.

His line in 1914 for the Indianapolis Hoosiers is so ATG-worthy it's unforgivable he doesn't have a card:

.370 .447 .534 .981 in 667 PAs

He had a great arm as an OF, too: ranks 72nd in DP as a CF, in a shortened career

But although "allowed" to return to the non-federal-league majors, he was bounced from baseball the minute it was possible . . . by that unlovable old curmudgeoun, K.M. Landis.

1897 Wee Willie Keeler.

1887 PHA 2B Denny Lyons .367 7s SBs .421 OBP 570 ABs

I can't help but wonder if this was a typo, as it really makes no sense

It makes PERFECT sense. The goal is to steal Maddux through a cheap card like Hugh Duffy or Elston Howard for examples.

the best pie traynor year would be sweet. thanks.
