There are so many worth players here, and only four will make the cut!

I hope we can return to this group in future voting rounds.

Meanwhile, many thanks to Rosie for his hard work, and for creating a fair and orderly process.

tks Outta

The other half of this list that we had to leave on the editing room floor is solid too! We will consider using this list in some form going forward.

Anyone that has time, feel free to post links to cards

Here are a few links that I picked up from the nomination thread.

Hank Aaron 1971: http://365.strat-o-matic.com/player/730000/1670/1/70

Mariano Duncan, Reds 1990 -Switch-hitting 2B/LF/SS/3B, .821, 8L, 2 inj. BR = 25.31 / NERP =33.83 vs LHP (12 years)
http://365.strat-o-matic.com/player/8482/1690/1/90

Kennedy http://365.strat-o-matic.com/player/36332/1982/2/1982

Bill Spiers, Astros 1997 -LH-hitting 3b/SS/2b/CF, .919 OPS, 3R, 2 inj. BR = 15.74 / NERP =24.72 vs RHP (13 years)

Rick Wilkins-C 1993 http://365.strat-o-matic.com/player/3415/1690/1/90

To say a word for Mariano Duncan, his 1990 card appears both in the 1980s and 1990s games. The '90s gives him a 3e23 rating at 2B and the 80s gives him a 3e24 rating. Of course, this covers a five year period, but if he gets a rating close to these for this particular year at 2B, his 8L card will make him a very effective platoon player. Check him out.

Duncan is a 3e24 at 2b

Duncan is a 3e24 at 2b

Good to know. Then I would recommend giving some close attention to Duncan. I think he will play a lot if he makes it in.

Lifetime .244 hitter with career .742 OPS leads voting. Yay

Awesome! Looks like another Aaron card could make the cut. Nothing like leaving Reggie Sanders and Rick Wilkins both with ZERO cards for a 5th Aaron. Love how people vote.

I would have voted for Lankford if I knew people we're waiting til the last day to vote. Instead I gave my votes to players who I thought had a chance to get in.
