Thanks,

1. 1961 Eddie Mathews MLN, Bats-L, 2L Balance, 306/402/535, .937 OPS, 3B-2e19 (Bunzeo)
2. 2014 Johnny Cueto CIN, S7*, 1L Balance, 20-9, WHIP 0.96, ERA 2.25,
2nd in Cy Young vote, would be 1st card for Cueto (gator39)
3. 1981 Kirk Gibson DET, Bats-L, 3L Balance, 328/367/479, .846 OPS, ALL 3 OF Spots 3(-1)e10, Steal: *4-6/-18-13),
- Strike shortened season. Gibby batted .328, OB of .369, OPS of .849. He also hit 9 home runs in only 290 at bats. He stole 17 bases. He led Detroit to a near Divison title, only to be beaten by the Brewers on the last day. (DanTheMan)
4. 2012 Jake McGee TB, Throws-L, R1, 9R Balance, 1.95 ERA, 0.795 WHIP,
lefty gives up nothing to righties and decent vs lefties. Great card!! Need more Rays cards!
5. 1920 Buck Weaver CWS, Bats-R, 2R Balance, 331/365/420, .785 OPS, 3b-2e37/SS-3e31.
By far Bucky's best year. .331 BA and bulletproof injury. Let's get a Bucky card we can use! John Cusack thanks you.
6. 2012 Craig Kimbrel ATL, Throws-L, R1, 1L Balance, 1.01 ERA, 0.65 WHIP,
https://365.strat-o-matic.com/player/91502/2012/1/2012 How is it that one of the better RPs isn't represented.
7. 1972 Bill Stoneman MON, Throws-R, S8*, 5R Balance, 2.98 ERA, 1.26 WHIP, 251 IP.
Expos first star pitcher, (threw a no-hitter in their 9th game ever), is only represented by his 1969 card from Montreal's inaugural season. He had more IP, W and K in 1971, but 1972 was his best season. This guy deserves better!
8. 1923 Tris Speaker CLE, Bats-L, E Balance, 380/469/610, 1.079 OPS. Eligible at ALL 3 OP spots-1(-4)e13.
His best offensive season. 133 runs scored, league leading 130 rbi's. 59 Doubles (his best season for the all time doubles leader) 11 Triples and a lifetime best 17 HR's. Hit: .380 .469 .610 1.079. One of the few mega superstars with only two cards.
9. 2000 Steve Finley ARZ, Bats-L, E Balance, 280/361/544, .905 OPS, CF-1(-)e3.
Arizona has no cards that qualify at cf. 35hr's and a gold glove with decent speed.
10.1962 Frank Robinson, CIN, Bats-R, 1R Balance, 342/421/624, 1.045 OPS. LF/RF-2(0)e2
51 DO, 39 HR, 136 RBI. Arguably Robinson's best season. Followed up '61 MVP with an even better season in '62! Career highs in G, BA, H, R, 2B, RBI, OBP & TB. 2nd career bests in HR, SLG, OPS & OPS+. Bulletproof.
11. 1985 Donnie Moore CAL, Throws-R, R2, 7L balance, 1.92 ERA, 1.09 WHIP.
Was treated shamefully by fans in real life. Let's do right by him in Strat.
12. 1974 Johnny Bench, CIN, Bats-R, 3R Balance, 280/365/507, .872 OPS, C-1(-4)e2, 1b-4e24, 3b-4e18
129 RBI, 33 HR, 700+ PA!...how about an every game starter behind the plate
13. 1947 Harry Walker, PHI, Bats-L, E Balance, 363/436/487, .923 OPS, ALL Of spots-2(0)e15, 1b-3e13
led league in triples (16), BA & OBP, 150 OPS+, 9th in MVP, CF/1B/LF
14. 1960 Lindy McDaniel, STL, Throws-R, 3L Balance, S5/R3, 2.09 ERA, 0.94 WHIP. (HE WON'T BE AN RP-ONLY)
12-4, 2.09 ERA, .937 WHP, CYA-3, MVP-5, best year, good add for post franchise
15. 2007 Chipper Jones ATL, Bats-S, 7R Balance, 337/425/604, 1.029 OPS 3b-3e12, SS-4e48.
Better and think Best Chipper card - def better than current one(s)
16.
17. 1978 Amos Otis, KC, Bats-R, 1R Balance, 298/374/525, .899 OPS, CF 2(-4)e3, Steal:*4-6/-(19-13).
22 HR, 96 RBI, 32 SBs. Career highs in RBI, OBP, SLG, OPS & OPS+. Near career highs in BA, BB, HR. Unlike other Otis cards, this is a well balanced card with decent OBP, that could bat nearly anywhere in the lineup, including leadoff.
18. 1965 Don Pavletich CIN, Bats-R, 1L Balance, 319/394/907, C-4(+2)e7, 1b-4e26.
19. 2013 Matt "Batman" Harvey NYM, Throws-R, S7(wont have the *), 5L Balance, 2.27 ERA, 0.93 WHIP.
178 innings, 191 KO, .931 WHIP, lowest homeruns per 9 in league
20. 2001 Cliff Floyd, FLA, Bats-L, E Balance, 317/390/578, .968 OPS, LF-3(0)e9, Steal: *7/-(19-12).
.317/.390/ .578, 44 doubles, 31HR, 103 RBI- Gives FLA some help building a better team
21. 1936 Arky Vaughan PIT, Bats-L, E Balance, 335/453/474, .927 OPS, SS-2e45
30 doubles, 11 triples, 9 homers. 600-plus plate appearances.
22. 1980 Mike Easler PIT, Bats-L, 7R Balance, 338/396/583, .987 OPS, LF/RF-4(+1)e5
better card than that NYY one we have
23. 1972 Billy Williams, CHC, Bats-L, 4R Balance, 333/398/606, 1.005 OPS. LF-3(0)e5, RF-4(0)e5, 1b-4e21.
37 HR, 122 RBI. Career highs in BA, OBP, SLG, OPS & OPS+. Near career highs in HR & RBI. Led League in BA, SLG, OPS, OPS+ & TB. Finished 2nd in MVP voting to Johnny Bench for the 2nd time in 3 years. It's time to give HOFer Sweet Swingin' Billy his best card.
24. 2000 Richard Hidalgo HOU, Bats-R, 1R Balance, 314/391/636, 1.027 OPS. LF/RF-1(-4)e8, CF-2(-4)e8 RF 1e8
I went through the top 250 single season slugging percentages of all time, and by and large almost every season is represented with a card (many players appear multiple times) - But, excluding 2018 season, there are only two players who have no card. Stanton is the other, and I figure he's too obvious to be forgotten. This is number 134. Plus an OF corner 1 (-4). 314/391/636. Houston franchise has NO corner OF 1.
25. 2017 Corey Kluber CLE, S7(questionable on receiving *), E Balance, 2.25 ERA, 0.87 WHIP
18-4 IP203.2 BB36 SO265 No card
26.1917 Ty Cobb, DET, Bats-L, E Balance, 383/444/570, 1.014 OPS, RF/LF-2(0)e11, CF-3(0)e11
. led the league in almost every category without injury problems
27.1977 Gary Carter MON, Bats-R, 8L Balance. 284//356/525, .881 OPS, C-4(0)e3, LF-4(-1)e7
31 hr
28.1993 Mike Stanley NYY, Bats-R, 2L Balance, 305/389/534, .923 OPS, C-3(-1)e1
17 2B 26 HR 84 RBI
29.1988 Juan Agosto HOU, Throws-L, R2, 9L Balance, 2.26 ERA, 1.13 WHIP
10-2, need more modern era lefty relief pitchers, NO card in the set
30. 1948 Harry 'the Cat' Brecheen STL, Throws-L, S9*/R4, 1L Balance, 2.24 ERA, 1.03 WHIP
20-7, 182 ERA+, Led NL in ERA, ERA+, FIP, WHIP. 5th in MVP. 8.9 WAR. S9/R4, e0, -3 hold.
31. 1980 Luis Salazar SD, Throws-R, E Balance, 337/374/462, .836 OPS, LF/RF-3(-1)e16, 3b-4e29
1977 ROGER FRE... opps! I mean 1980 San Diego Padres bench guy Luis Salazar!!!! .337 BA Always hit a lot of triples for me!!
32. 1888 Ice Box Chamberlain STL (not SLB) Throws-R, S9*, 2R Balance, 2.57 ERA, 1.05 WHIP
(This is a combined card between LOU & SLM. Card will be based on the above ERA & WHIP.) 11-2 record, 112 IP, 61 hits, 1.61 ERA, 0.786 WHIP. Probably a 5 day pitcher and dead ball's answer to Joel Pinero. (Silver King wasn't bad either...).
33. 2014 Michael Brantley CLE, Bats-L, 2R Balance, 327/385/506, .891 OPS. LF-1(-2)e1, CF-2(-1)e1.
3rd in MVP Voting! No cards 660 PA 20 HR 23 SB 45 DB 97 RBI 200 H
34. 1937 Zeke Bonura, CWS, Bats R, 1L Balance, 345/412/573, .985 OPS, 1b-4e17.
Zeke Bonura held the White Sox Single Season RBI Record for 62 years, drove in 100 runs 4 times, fine hitter for the mid30s White Sox. Pre White Sox Set has no strong 1b. (or 2b, or 3b, or RF, and so on...)
35. 1966 Bob Locker CWS, Throws-R, R3, 1R Balance, 2.46 ERA, 1.01 WHIP.
He was one of the better relievers of his era and doesn't have a card. Here is a link to his card. https://onlinegames.strat-o-matic.com/p ... /1660/1/60
36. 2005 Pedro Martinez NYM, Throws-R, S7(doubtful on the *), 1R Balance, 2.82 ERA, 0.94 WHIP.
His last "best" card: 15-8, 2.82 ERA, 0.94 WHIP, 208K in 217 IP
37. 1967 Phil Niekro ATL, Throws-R, S9/R3 (doubtful on the *), 3L Balance, 1.87 ERA, 1.06 WHIP
67 is better than his current best card. It probably will get a lot of use since it most likely will be a five man rotation card.
38. 1936 Lou Gehrig NYY, Bats-L, 1R Balance, 354/478/696, 1.174 OPS, 1B-3e9.
His 2nd MVP season, NOT Bulletproof.
39. 2002 Barry Bonds SF, Bats-L, 4L Balance, 370/582/799, 1.381 OPS, LF-2(+2)e10, Steal:*4/-(16-6)
A little different from the other ATG Bonds cards, the 2002 card is better against lefties. An absolute monster of a card! 46 hr's and 31 doubles in only 403 ab,
40. 2003 Eric Chavez, Oakland A's
41*.
(*One more needed after #40 to fill in #16 slot).
