1.2017 Tommy Pham STL OF No card. 306/411/520 MVP-11. In 2017, Pham became the first Cardinals batter since 1900 to record at least a .300 BA 20 HRs 20 2Bs and 20 SBs in the same season. Overcame a ton to make it to MLB. One of the most intense players from any era. A key component of the 2019 Rays resurgence. https://365.strat-o-matic.com/player/92648/2017/1/2017

4. 1883 Charlie Bennett DTN Bats R -- .305/.350/.474 OPS+ 151 34 doubles in 371 abs -- one of the great deadball catchers (also eligible at 2B and OF), inventor of the first chest protector, considered to be one of the best defensive players of his era, leading the league in fielding percentage for catchers seven times. Lost his legs in an accident in 1894; the Tigers named their new stadium Bennett Park in his honor.

12. 2010 Angel Pagan NYM OF - AA stealing, 1 defensively at all 3 outfield spots (with a -2 arm), switch hitter and an A bunter. 3 game injury risk. Would make a great bench player in high cap leagues and a reliable bottom of the order guy in small cap. Also, the Mets don't have a 1 at LF or RF in the set. https://365.strat-o-matic.com/player/863/2010/1/3010

17. 1965 Sonny Siebert, RHSP, Indians, 2L 16-8 2.43 0.981. Led A.L. with 4.15 SO/BB ratio. Career bests in WHIP, BB9, SO9. 2nd career best in ERA, H9. Won 140 career games, with a .551 WIN% pitching for some bad teams. Just 1 lousy ATG card that is never used and doesn't do Siebert's career justice.

22. 1975 John Montefusco - led league in K/9 at 7.9, 10 CG 2.88 ERA and 215 K's in 243 IP - much better than his current card, would be a good 4th or 5th starter

Led AL in RBI in 1955, 1958 & 1959 finishing ahead of Colavito, Mantle, Kaline, Williams, Maris, Doby, Berra & Sievers. AL MVP. Played all 154 games for the Red Sox, so likely bullet proof. Absolutely mashes lefties and more than holds his own vs. righties. This card would help the Post War BoSox in franchise leagues.

30. 1898 Kid Nichols 31-12 2.13 ERA. Led league with a .221 OAV, .272 OOB, and a WHIP of 1.03. Also led in Games pitched, Wins, and saves. Third straight 30 win season. Best player in the NL for third year in a row. Surely would have won 400 games, but left the majors for two seasons before returning in 1904 to pitch for the lowly Cardinals.

31. 1915 Ernie Shore, Boston Red Sox, 19-8, 1.64 ERA. Shore was part of the great 19teens Red Sox dynasty, on the multiple World Series-winning pitching staff along with Babe Ruth, Smoky Joe Wood, and Dutch B. Leonard.

34. 1956 Charlie Maxwell DET Bats-L BAL-2R LF-3(+1)e5, RF-4(+1)e5 INJ Risk-15 Best season for 'Paw-Paw' Maxwell. His current card is not so good and the Tigers can use another good OF in the deck.

Near career highs in BA, 2B, HR, BB. 2nd in MVP voting. Strike shortened, pitching dominated 1972 was Rudi's best season, despite playing in cavernous Oakland Coliseum. Rudi was a major cog in 3 straight A's world champion teams. Rudi will help A's expansion franchise league teams prior to 1979. 1972 is a big card upgrade for Rudi.

44. 1904 Rube Waddell - 11.3 WAR; his best year I believe (despite winning the tripe crown the following year), struck out 110 more batters then the next and ended with 348k which stood for a very long time.

45. 1983 Bob Horner, Braves. One of his best seasons in OB and power... .303 .383 .528 better on base vs righties .388, but more power vs lefties, .590. As usual injuries will be a problem... he will have a 15 gm injury chance. But this will be a big improvement on his only card. (Horner has 2 cards in ATG).

I am fairly certain that Goreds picked Ernie Lombardi as one of his three players to add for making the Barnstormers finals. I hate for us to waste voting for him in this.

Thanks for the info. I will get confirmation on that before submitting the list to Strat. The spot won't be wasted, as it will go to the next man up.

Just looking for some confirmation on Berger's card.
Baseball reference doesn't show him as being EVEN.

The SOM card viewer definitely has an even card for him in 1933.

I'm sure it's not wrong, but Baseball-Reference isn't Strat either. Sometimes stats dont translate well to Strat, and sometimes Strat apparently doesnt take real life splits into account when creating a card, especially cards that arent Super-Advanced.

By the way, the link for Rader’s 1971 card from the 70s Mystery Set is nothing like Strat’s 1971 Rader card. I don’t know why they have a different 9L card representing 1971 in Mystery Set and a very different 4L 1971 Rader card on the Strat Card Reader.
My point, Mystery Card representations may not be an accurate barometer of what you may get.


Very interesting. I think the mystery card better reflects his actual splits for 1971.

.364/.412/.562 vs LHP
.205/.267/.318 vs RHP

I based my nomination of Rader on his Mystery Card. Interesting that the Strat card on offer is so different. Still, it should be a very useable platoon card vs LHP, assuming the pricing is reasonable.

I'm sure there are plenty of Strat cards that don't quite match up to their real life splits, especially cards from first half of 20th century.

I can't answer why some Strat splits are different than Baseball-Ref. We are voting on Strat cards, so I guess all that matters in this exercise is, what do the cards say?

No one had an answer for this.


What's the deal with Walter French?

PostSat Sep 05, 2020 9:02 pm
He hit only 1 homerun but is N and has HR chances on both sides of his card. (He only hit 2 in his career.)
