ATG 8 Player Addition #5 Nomination Thread

I think the problem is a 2015 Harper card won't even be created in time to be included in this vote.

Personally, I wish we had a 10 year waiting period on adding players to ATG, kind of like HOF voting waits 5 years.

Here are the first 40 players nominated (SOM will have to make the call about Bryce Harper)

1 Joe Cunningham 1959
2 Jeff Zimmerman 1999
3 Sandy Alomar 1997
4 Joe Gordon 1942
5 Terry Pendleton 1992
6 Ron Blomberg 1973
7 Joe Sewell 1923
8 Sandy Koufax 1964
9 Dick Ellsworth 1963
10 Orlando Cabrera 2001
11 Jack Morris 1983
12 Orel Hershiser 1988
13 Bibb Falk 1926
14 Mark Loretta (SD )2004
15 Roger Metzger 1973
16 Todd Hundley 1996 or 1997
17 Mickey Vernon 1953
18 Rusty Staub 1969
19 Darrell Evans 1973
20 Ichiro Suzuki 2007

30 Miguel Tejada 2004
31 Ozzie Smith 1985
32 Charley Radbourne 1884
33 Charlie Gehringer 1929 or 1936
34 Deacon White 1876

CLOSED - Any players after the first 40 (or nominations for additional new cards for a player after the first) will not be used for the poll.

They've made cards over night during the playoff's to show how well a player is doing and posted them on facebook. So that's why I was assuming it wouldn't be a big deal.

As for the 10 year waiting period his season isn't going to change and we have everything needed to form a card so it shouldn't matter in my opinion. All it would do is shut down a bunch of potentially great cards and players that help balance teams out in big leagues that form on here.

mike is right. i was in a strat experimental league thats almost like fantasy baseball. the cards are updated daily. its a new game they will roll out this year. so cards r updated daily and when players r called up or return from injury, etc. the cards r updated. 2015 harper, no PROBLEMA!

love the nominations. let's vote!

shouldn't the deacon white card be 1877 not 1876?

I agree. But until Strat makes this an official part of the nomination rules guess anyone is fair game.
On the 2015 Harper if they can produce the Harper card by the time these are added why couldn't they produce all the cards by then? And if they can why would they make us wait to release the set? Including the Harper card would in my opinion force them to answer those questions. So if I were them I would not do it and avoid those questions.

Can you imagine the firestorm if they threw together a card and then when the new set is put out it was not the same? I remember when the Lou Brock card was added I was really upset it was different from the one included in the newly purchased cdrom game I had.

no firestorm at all. lots of online cards are different? who cares its just a game!!!!

about a year ago they changed a bunch of atg cards. maris and blanchard from the 61 yanks were totally different. they had a name for it but who cares? you like a card you put it on your team you don't leave it!!!!
