FINAL VOTING UNTIL THURS NITE!

Awaiting Franchise committees nominees from: NYY, CLE, MIL, CIN, PIT, NYG/SF

Did I miss the Cubbies? Awaiting some final feedback for the Reds and Giants.

I'm part of the Cubs stall. Will be up by tonight.

What about the ERA's? We are very light Post War (8), Pre War (13) and non-existent for Dead Ball.

I can speak for some Eras, that we are holding out to see what direction Franchises go. Work is being done, but waiting. No need to nominate guys twice.

Also, in response to that, would be nice if a certain amount of db, pre, and post could be elected, as I watch this EXP flood.
Say, the top 5,8,10 or something vote getters from pre get in even if vote totals are lower than some exp cards?

1. Joey Votto 2010 - MVP, 1024 OPS, No Card in Set
2. Noodles Hahn 1902 - 1.05 whip, 1 Card in Set, better representative card
3. Bobby Tolan 1970 - 59 SB, 859 OPS, No Card in Set
4. Brandon Phillips 2011 - GG, 810 OPS, No Card in Set

5. Adam Dunn 2004 - 46 HR, 956 OPS, No Card in Set

Understood on the duplicate issue.

I'd rather not dictate to the community a quota and would prefer to tailor future card adds to target ERA's or underrepresented Franchises based off of the results of this vote.

That's a fine idea. At least we know that that is an option down the road. You know as well as I that 13 Trout, 13 Cabrera, 15 Harper will garner a significant percentage of votes, for example.
