Nope, not a typo.

What gets me with the Figgins add is that Figgins DESERVES a card. His great season of 2009 (.298/.395/.393, 729 PAs, a 1 at 3B) http://365.strat-o-matic.com/player/362/2009/1/209? His 2005 season (62 SBs, every position except 1B and C)? Both years with the Angels with whom he spent 8 years. Instead we will get a card from the Dodgers -- his only year with them (he was released in August of 2014), with a bunch of walks and that's about it. As I said, I have nothing against the Barnstormer winners choosing cards. But please choose with a certain amount of discernment.

Sigh...
Suffice it to say I agree.

I do hope that 2014 Figgins is a TYPO. 
If not it goes perfectly with the nominated players with NO thought being put into them! Cards that get voted in and NEVER get used. At least in the leagues I've been in and I've been in a GREAT #.

It's not! GREAT! Just another reason added to the list of one foot out the door.

Who knows, the '14 Figgins card could end up being the Bobby Morgan vs Righties.

Yeah, but Morgan had over 550 PAs! Figgins 75. And again, poor Figgins. He was an excellent player earlier in his career. Why is he now going to be represented by a card that doesn't begin to describe his real worth? We want the name of the miscreant who nominated this card so he can justify his choice.
