Even though he has 3 cards, hear this out: SOM took the 1973 Fingers RP-only away, making him a SP/RP, and giving him NO RP-only card for the A's, though he closed for them for 7 years and 3 world championships

SS-1e12

6. 1939 Buddy Lewis--.319 AVG, .402 OBP, .478 SLG, .879 OPS
3b, longtime Senator, deserves a better card

1. Howard Johnson 1989 A critical switch hitting 3b addition for a guy with none of his good seasons in ATG

2. Cespedes 2015 One of the few years the Mets got to the series and he was a key guy. Power plus awesome defense 1(-5) in left field.

3. Matt Harvey -2013 Led the league in ERA. Homegrown Met. Useful 5 day starter.

4. Al Leiter 98. Dominant pitcher that year.

SEATTLE MARINERS Committee nominees

2007 JJ Putz 1.38 ERA .698 WHIP only All Star year. Would be worthy add for all ATG leagues. Also qualifies for the D-Backs, Mets and White Sox in franchise leagues that allow any player who played for team to be chosen. If you can't get enough starters, then a strong Bullpen is the next best thing. No Card
2007 JJ Putz http://365.strat-o-matic.com/player/90466/2007/1/2007

1995 Randy Johnson 2.48 ERA(Led League) 1.05 WHIP 294 K(Led League) Cy Young. Was the Horse the M's rode to their historic 1995 run. Dominated the Angels in 1 game playoff a 9-1 win. M's need starters this is a good one even though he already has 2 cards. Nothing much to add here Randy started his career here, threw the first No-Hitter in M's history, first 20 game winner and got the nickname "the Big Unit" here. Even though he was inducted into the hall as a D-Back everyone in Seattle claims him as theirs.
1995 Randy Johnson http://365.strat-o-matic.com/player/3235/1690/1/90

2014 Felix Hernandez 2.14 ERA .92 WHIP Led league in ERA, WHIP and hits per 9 inn. Not Cy Young card but better numbers card, solid add for M's starting rotation. This card would be an upgrade for "King Felix" the current anchor of the Mariners staff although the innings pitched appear to be catching up to him. Threw the Mariners only perfect game. 1 Card
2014 Felix Hernandez http://365.strat-o-matic.com/player/90250/2014/1/2014

2006 Kenji Johjima .291/.332/.451 Gives M's an upgrade over current catchers 4th in ROY vote. Because Dan Wilson already has a card I chose this one, if memory is correct he was a 2(-2) defense while hitting Rh better. The M's really need another catcher. No Card
C-4(0)e2

1992 Omar Vizquel .294/.340/.352 Best OPS year as an M and would give them a solid defensive SS. AROD should be the choice here however his 2000 card would almost certainly be north of 9 mil so even though it's certainly debatable I decided to go with "Little O" as AROD would IMO be a duplication of his 2003 Texas card. I would think this card would be in the 2-3 mil range with a "1" defense making him attractive at lower cap levels to all ATG teams. Also get the added bonus of he and Arthur Rhodes "discussing" the amount of bling a player should wear on the field. 2 Cards.
SS-2e10

2006 Raul Ibanez .289/.353/.516 Best OPS year as an M in second go round with the team. Left in 2000 for KC because Lou Pinella thought he was a nice kid but couldn't hit. Another LF LH power option, 621 ab's should make him bullet proof. Again as Bradley has a card I chose Ibanez I'm thinking he would be in the 3-5 mil range. His defense will probably be awful but the M's have decent defensive replacements. No Card
LF-4(0)e2
