16. 1989 Craig Biggio C HOU; silver slugger award, another Astros catcher option would be good for franchise leagues
17. 1973 Joe Morgan - CIN 2b-1e10 .290 / .406 / .493 - best fielding, best base-stealing, and injury-proof Morgan card. Kills righties (L 4R) + plays all 162 games

Earned best reliever in Al that season and plenty of buzz for Cy Young award. Gave up 1 homerun all season. Gave up four earned runs all season. No earned runs after April 27 and 47 for 47 in save opportunities!!!
19. 1961 Al Kaline led league with 41 dbls, gold glove, slashed 324/393/515. Doesn't really have a card that does justice for the great HOFer
