I would like to get one of the Jose Reyes cards from early in his career added when he was stealing 50/60+ bases , and would lead the league in triples too. Looking through the sets 2008 would probably be the best add. 56 steals ,19 triples, 16 homers and ,37 doubles to go with a .297 avg and .358 obp

His 2011 when he won the batting title is in ATG9. Honestly I like that one better for better OBP...

I don’t think him having two cards is a problem.

Bill "Mad Dog" Madlock, 1975, third base. His .354 won the NL batting title that season, also .402 OBP and .479 SA, good for an 141 OPS+.

He hit lefties a little better that season, and wasn't the greatest fielder. But we need more third basemen and he hit .354!

In addition to Madlock '75, we just need more catchers, especially for mid-to-lower price platoons. Right now, I'm not sure who those are, but I do know entire team adds help on this front. Just suggesting... :D

Jeff Bagwell, 1999. I know we have a couple good Bagwell cards, but the '99 version is a 30-30 card and awesome walks:


35 doubles, 42 homers, 30 steals, 149 walks, .304, .454, .591. OPS is 1.045 ... kinda crushes lefties this year, not quite like his '94 lefty-killing (nothing is quite like Bagwell's '94 that way).

How about Barry Larkin's mvp year (1995) it's more indicative of the type of player Larkin was (not a 30 HR guy). it's not in the ATG set despite being an MVP winning season and it's not even in the possible years you get in the 90s mystery game

Compares to cheaper Lindstrom. Defensively, Cross would be a 1 but with a lot of errors, I'm guessing a little north of 30...

I think he still used his catchers mitt out on the infield - true story actually
