20.1 Nominations are Open!

Andy/anyone - do you have defensive stats at C for Fred Carroll nominated above?
I have 1889 nominated but if you could also look at 1887 that would be great.

Thank you

Salty

1889
C-4(+1)e16, T-20, pb-20

1887
C-4(+4)e16, T-20, pb-20

He could play 1b either year and has OF ratings, but not really playable there.

Thank you Andy---
I think based on this we should stick with 1889- he did have 33 PBs in 43 games at C so perhaps the rating is deserved.

2. 1978 Bob Welch, RH S/R, Dodgers, 7-4 2.02 1.060. Career bests in ERA & HR9. Near career bests in WHIP, H9 & BB9. In the 51 seasons since Denny McLain won 31 games in 1968, only 2 pitchers have won as many as 27 games, Steve Carlton in 1972 (27-10 for the 59 win Phillies) and the late Bob Welch in 1990 (27-6 for the A's). Welch's 1990 27 win card ($4.66 mil) does not do him justice.
3. 1915 Ty Cobb. I know I know, another Cobb card. Yet, this was his highest single season OBP (.486) and his stolen base record (96) which would stand until 1962! It's a crime that this card is not already in the set.
4.1969 Dick Hall BAL would be a MAJOR improvement over his current three cards. In his best year (for a 16 year career) he had .88 whip, and more importantly gave up only .4HR per 9 innings pitched (as opposed to his current cards of whip/hr9 of 1.01/.8 -- 1.02/1.1 -- .93/1.2).
5. 2001 Keith Foulke White Sox pitched 11 years no card. 81 innings, 42 saves, .975 WHIP
6. 1987 Tim Raines MON LF (4L bal) Career high in HR (18), OBP (.429), and SLG (.526)

7. 2004 Brad Radke MIN SP. No cards yet. Underrated pitcher that threw during the Steroid Era where his numbers were inflated. 2nd all-time in WAR for Twins pitchers. 11-8, 219 IP, 3.48 ERA, 1.16 WHIP, just 26 walks and a 5.5 SO/W ratio. Pitched all 12 years in a Twins uniform.

9. 1962 Bobby Richardson NYY 2B - Yankee Great is poorly represented by current '61 and '64 cards. in 1962 he had career highs in BA (.302), H (209), 2B (38) plus HR & RBI in 692 AB (0 Inj.) along with 2nd best Fld Pct (.982)
10. 2004 Vladimir Guerrero - AL MVP, 39hr's, .337 BA. In Cooperstown with and Angels hat, he should have one in this set too.
11. 2009 Pablo Sandoval - .330 BA, 44 2Bs, 25 HRs, .556 Slg, switch hitting 3B - would be his first card in the set
12. 1998 Brian Jordan - .316 BA, with 25 HRS, played 15 seasons with Cardinals, Braves, Dodgers - also first card in set
13. 2002 Magglio Ordonez-RF-2(-1)e4 - .320/.381/.597, 47 Doubles, 38 HRs Would be a nice add for the White Sox.

18.1899 Roy Thomas, LHB, Phil's, Rookie Year, he was a great Centerfielder in the early years of baseball. He was much betterthan his representative card, an excellent fielder with a very good arm, hopefully better than a 4(-2) that his card reflects. Lots of errors in his 1st year, but lots of hits and high OBP. Slashed .325/.457/.362 with 42 stolen bases.
19.1889 Fred Carroll C, OF, 1b Pittsburgh NL- NO cards in set. BA: .330 OBP: 486 OPS:970 Should be a great leadoff card. 21 doubles 11Triples in 318 ABs 414 PAs.

Nothing wrong with the Berger nomination. I'll post it in the #8 spot.

Thanks,

Can we get the Astros another decent option at catcher? If you play in a carded franchise league Jim Pankovitis is the 2nd best option behind Ashby.

Brad Ausmus '98


Other options....Johnny Edwards '72, or Jason Castro 2013?
