1. 2021 Mike Zunino TB C 1(0)e1 33 HRs in only 333 ABs! A full 8 ballpark HR chances on each side of card. Slugging percentage of .559 obliterates current Rays catchers. Would be Rays best and most expensive catcher by far. A much needed card for the catching-challenged Rays.
https://365.strat-o-matic.com/player/91832/2021/1/20212. 1985 Tim Raines LF .320 .407 .425 2+2 e 2 Much better vs righties than current Raines cards
3. 2021 Fernando Tatis Jr ss SD .282/.364/.611 31 doubles & 42 homeruns in 478 at bats. SS 2 , Has some injury risk with the card
https://365.strat-o-matic.com/player/94452/2021/1/20214. 1943 Bill Nicholson Chicago Cubs OF .309 BA, .386 OBP, .531 slugging, 29 HR 128 RBI
5. 1918 Lefty Tyler CHC LHP 19-8, 2.00 ERA, 2.32 FIP, 1.058 WHIP, 138 ERA+, 6.9 WAR, no hr allowed, second ace of Cub team that lost to Red Sox in WS (and used to keep Ruth out of the lineup)
6.1937 Dolph Camilli PHI. We have two Brooklyn cards, but 1937 for Philadelphia was his best season, with career highs in BA (337, OB 446 which led the league, SLG, 587 and OPS + 170). 1b1e9. Should be the Phillies best first baseman.
7. 1889 Buck Ewing NYG C .327 Avg. .383 OBP .477 Slugging. Hall of Famer that was the best catcher of the 19th Century. Has a card for 1895 Cin 1B 4e14 with good offensive numbers. But made HOF as one of the original Giants @ Catcher.
8. 2009 Chris Carpenter StL, 17-4 with league leading 1.24 era and 182era+, 1.01 WHIP in 192 IP. Only gave up 7 hrs. 6.2 WAR and 2nd in Cy Young. A quality non-* SP.
https://365.strat-o-matic.com/player/5218/2009/1/20099. 2010 Jim Thome MIN DH .283 avg - .412 obp - .627 slg 5R. This card smashes rhp like his best card but will be cheaper due to being a DH only. Would give Minnesota a Thome card and a great DH.
https://365.strat-o-matic.com/player/1141/2010/1/201010. 1967 Tony Gonzalez PHI Bats-L BAL-4R 339 .396 .869 OPS LF-2(0)e3, RF-3(0)e3, CF-4(0)e3 upgrade over current cards
11. 1989 Chris Bosio MIL SP* Gives the Brewers another 3 day starter. No card.
https://365.strat-o-matic.com/player/831113/1680/1/8012. 1913 Tris Speaker BOS CF -- career high in triples (22) and .441 OBP, .363 BA, 46 steals. Should be elite defense and speed.
13. 2009 Kosuke Fukudome CHC rf-2(-2) 5R .375 OBP .421 SLG .796 OPS all star first Japanese player for baseball's oldest Franchise
https://365.strat-o-matic.com/player/1350/2009/1/200914. 1964 Jim O'Toole, 17-7, 2.66 ERA and only 8 HR's allowed in 220 IPs! plus he's a Right Handed Batter Killer featuring a 5R reverse split! Great addition for both ATG and the Reds franchise teams.
https://365.strat-o-matic.com/player/39043/1964/4/196415. 2021 Marcus Semien, Blue Jays, 2B/SS 45 HR, 102 RBI, .265, 3rd in MVP, GG, SS, AS BlueJays could use a good infield bat in franchise leagues.
https://365.strat-o-matic.com/player/91823/2021/1/202116. 1973. Pete Rose. His MVP season
