I looked over the franchises and by far the four most underrepresented are as follows:
1. Tampa Bay Rays - 5 players
2. Colorado Rockies - 10
3. Arizona Diamondbacks - 13
4. Florida Marlins - 13
I like dip_77's suggestion, pick a franchise and add a full set/team of players, not necessarily a team from one season. It will take a bit more work but I believe we'll end up with a better group of cards that might be able to stand on their own in some franchise formats and could have some use in ATG.
So looking deeper at the 4 teams above...I totaled the unique players and their salaries below:
1. Tampa Bay Rays - 1 SP / $6.92, 4 Batters / $27.22 = 5 / $34.14
2. Colorado Rockies - 2 SP / $9.57, 8 Batters / $59.00 = 10 / $68.57
3. Arizona Diamondbacks - 6 SP, 2 RP / $38.46, 5 Batters / $31.58 = 13 / $70.04
4. Florida Marlins - 5 SP / $30.06, 8 Batters / $43.31 = 13 / $73.37
I'm proposing we submit the Tampa Bay Rays with 25 cards for this upcoming Card Add. We've already got...
David Price 2012, $6.92 SP
Carlos Pena 2007, $7.07 1B
Ben Zobrist 2009, $7.19 ALL
Evan Longoria 2009, $6.69 3B
Carl Crawford 2010, $6.27 LF
So I'll pause for a moment. Any major objections to this path for half of the next add?
