Already mentions his 06 Washington card in numerous threads. Just want a usable player if possible.

Early thoughts on possible Yankee additions:

1/ Elston Howard. 1964 season. Yeah, it would make five cards, but he was an essential part of late 50s/early 60s baseball. His possible best all-around card. The only year over 600 PAs (1 injury). Not a lot of GIDPs. http://365.strat-o-matic.com/player/35630/1660/1/60

2/ Larry Milbourne. 1981 season. A better card than what we have. Would be a nice backup infielder with good ops (.749/118 ops+). Looks like he isn't necessarily as bad defensively as SOM would like us to believe. Switch-hitter, probably a 3R.

3/ Robinson Cano. 2012 season. The ultimate platoon card for higher caps (8R). His best OPS+, his most power, a 1e6. Take a look: http://365.strat-o-matic.com/player/182/2012/1/2012

And while we're at it....could we please get Yankee Stadium 1927? Possibly the greatest team in history has to play all of its games away????

The Yankees don't need help, but one card I would like to see considered is Rudy May. We have one card, 1970, which is a somewhat representative year for him. But he played 16 years, and in 1980 he led the league in ERA, ERA+, WHIP, FIP and SO/W. He got Zero votes for any awards. I guess voters started at wins and moved on when they saw 15. A huge improvement over his current card. Never got any headlines on those Yankee teams, but really underappreciated.
