Agreed. Let's get the ball rolling on the Rays add.

From 2008 -
Navarro, Iwamura, Bartlett, Upton, Gross, Floyd, Riggins, Aybar, Hinske (9)
Shields, Sonnanstine, Garza, Jackson, Kazmir, Balfour, Howell, Miller, Wheeler (9)

Plus the seven players from alt seasons Frank has listed above for the 25 card Rays add.

Morning guys - I'm not following the math, can you list out who on the 2008 team has cards already and who the proposed replacements are? tks

Its my understanding and also the direction I assumed we'd take this, that team adds would consist of 10 pitchers and 15 position players. The player swap currently has us at 12/13. Maybe that's not a big deal but I want to get a feel for the replacements before we present them to SOM.

Already carded to ATG:

Chad Bradford
Troy Percival
Carlos Pena

2008 Rays already in ATG and carded as Rays - Price, Pena, Zobrist, Longoria, Crawford
2008 Rays already in ATG and carded for other teams - Bradford and Percival

Replace Price, Bradford and Percival with Archer, Arrojo and Rodney
Replace Pena, Zobrist, Longoria and Crawford with Huff, Lugo, Baldelli and Gomes

This is very representative group of Rays for both 2008 and the franchise as a whole.

Thanks,
Bill

Sorry - missed Cliff Floyd already in the set...

Either way, a 12/13 mix is about right for 2008 and beyond...

I like the 25 players we have listed...

Thanks

Could sub Ruggiano from 2008 for Floyd...

I'd much rather have the 2006 Baldelli card, as opposed to adding Rocco from 2008...

Thanks

Why replace Price? He doesn't have a 2008 card.

List of players already carded to ATG:

Chad Bradford

Carlos Pena
Evan Longoria

That was my mistake. I had missed Floyd being carded and counted Price to get to seven.

Hey Rosie,

Here is a revised list for the 2008 Rays.

SP) Shields, Sonnanstine, Garza, Kazmir, Jackson
RP) Balfour, Howell, Miller, Wheeler, and 2012 Rodney (sub for Percival)

Add 2015 Archer and 1998 Arrojo (sub for Bradford and Longoria)

C) Navarro, Riggins
1b) 2003 Huff (sub for Pena)
2b) Iwamura
3b) Aybar
SS) Bartlett, 2005 Lugo (sub for Zobrist)
Of) Upton, Gross, Hinske, Ruggiano, 2005 Gomes, 2006 Baldelli (sub for Crawford and Floyd)
(Prefer the 2005, 2006 Gomes and Baldelli over their weak 2008 cards)

Thanks,
Bill
