CLOSED - Batters Poll for ATG Card Add 16.2

Please pick 10 Batters you'd like to see added to ATG. Top 10 + a few ties will get in.

Voting will be open through Wednesday, November 9.

Also you can refer to the Nominations string to see more detail on the players posted by the Ambassadors. Feel free to post links and other tidbits of info into this string as well.

I took two liberties in creating the list:
1) Removed Jesse Burkett from the list. The card included was a year he played for the Cleveland Spiders, which was not affiliated with the Indians.
2) Added in Derek Lee, 2003 FLA

I cut and paste the information from the master spreadsheet so apologies for the messiness, I was just trying to help expedite the voting process. Most of what you'll see next the players name is recognizable but here's the key...

Last Name, First Name, Year, Position, Franchise, Current Cards in ATG, Years of Career, Qualifications:

In those notes are a few acronyms:
BC = Better Card than whats in the current set
BRC = Better Representative Card than whats in the current set
MBRC = Much Better Representative Card than whats in the current set
MMBC = Much Much Better Representative Card than whats in the current set
#CY, #MVP = rank that year for those awards
A few Defensive ratings listed
I think everything else is pretty straightforward.

VOTE for 10!

Evan Longoria needs your votes! Please help elect a Ray!

I thought Hunt could crack the top10. It seems that we-Expos owners- will be stucked with Rodney Scott.

Rosie,

I thought you were going to put Texiera on the list?

Ed

lanier - I was looking in all the forums for where I mentioned Tex but can't find it. I recall throwing his name out but didn't gain the support from the Rangers forum. He definitely needs a card.

I would really push for '04 Beltran in perhaps addition to the great '03 Royals card. Baseball history! The '04 was the biggest trade piece imaginable and went on to a 38/42 with only 3 CS. 1 on defense. >>>8 HRs in postseason<<<< Only two rounds!!!! I know the 03 one, but in the 40/40 game, this is a milestone card. Massive baseball history too. Maybe double card beltran for double season phenom he is!!!! Highest SB% in baseball history. Might be a guy who hits .240 and guys don't complain.

'02 Hunter also cool----posterboy with B.Bonds in ASG doing a siiiick robbery.

'03 Marlins as a whole.


Good lists!

No love for Otis Nixon?

I totally agree with nels52 on the 2004 Beltran card!

Does anybody have the defensive rating for Ron Hunt?

C'mon guys... NOBODY is going to use that card. It's a wasted pick.

Sorry to vent here but we don't get enough additions.

EVERY pick matters.

If I'm not mistaken, he's a 4 @ 2B. Great another DH.
With an Injury.

But he should be cheap.

Well so is Joe Sewell...
