RH--2b- 0.8 3b-0.4 HR-0.3 BB-0 .159/.159/.181 OPS-.340
1920 Pete Led League with 27 wins, 173 K, and a 1.91 ERA. As good as Pete’s 1916 card, but in this one he’s a Cub.


1935 Johnny Allen NYY Throws-R BAL-E END-S7-
LH--2b- 3.3 3b-0.8 HR-2.4 BB-7 .157/.212/.275 OPS-.487

RH--2b- 3.0 3b-1.0 HR-1.3 BB-10 .130/.211/.219 OPS-.430
Led AL in Fewest Hits per/9 and Most K per/9, not much better than the one we have though

RH--2b- 0.0 3b-2.0 HR-0.0 BB-2 .135/.151/.173 OPS-.324
Most Antonelli’s are balanced toward RH and give up a lot of HRs. 1959 makes him a hard Lefty vs LH, might get used in Lefty parks, currently is not used very often

RH--2b- 3.8 3b-0.8 HR-0.2 BB-10 .227/.299/.288 OPS-.587
Led League with 27 Complete Games in 1950, only real improvement is getting the *

RH—2b-4.3 3b-0.5 HR-3 BB-1 .187/.194/.320 OPS-.514
Led League in WHIP in 1942, one the first pioneers of the forkball, or split finger fastball. Would be an improvement. Died close to the end of the 1949 season with intestinal cancer.

RH--2b- 3.8 3b-0.8 HR-2.4 BB-0 .168/.168/.284 OPS-.452
Very good pitcher who doesn’t seem to translate great to Strat. That 1967 Phillies card would be different and an improvement.


1993 John Burkett SF Throws-R BAL-3R END-S7-

RH--2b- 3.4 3b-0.8 HR-2.2 BB-0 .205/.205/.311 OPS-.516

RH--2b- 2.0 3b-1.6 HR-2.7 BB-8 .262/.317/.393 OPS-.710
Had two very strong campaigns in ‘85 and ’86, but all we have is a very poor ’87 card. Important part of 1980s Cardinals and an improvement.


2011 Johnny Cueto CIN Throws-R BAL-1L END-S7x
LH--2b- 1.0 3b-0.0 HR-1.3 BB-9 .137/.209/.187 OPS-.396

RH--2b- 2.4 3b-0.5 HR-2.0 BB-10 .149/.228/.245 OPS-.473
Not much different, though probably a non *, which would be different.


1905 Bob Ewing CIN Throws-R BAL-E END-S9*/R5
LH--2b- 2.0 3b-1.0 HR-0.5 BB-5 .184/.222/.238 OPS-.460

RH--2b- 2.6 3b-1.2 HR-0.3 BB-6 .197/.241/.253 OPS-.494
1907 is an improvement for Ewing, Reds 1900s ace.


1934 Wes Ferrell BOS Throws-R BAL-1L END-S9/R3-
LH--2b- 2.0 3b-0.0 HR-0.0 BB-0 .232/.232/.251 OPS-.483

RH--2b- 4.4 3b-1.3 HR-0.8 BB-7 .245/.294/.337 OPS-.631
Either card is an improvement for Ferrell, one of MLB’s best-hitting pitchers. That 1L 1934 card looks good.


1989 Chuck Finley CAL Throws-L BAL-5L END-S6
LH--2b- 0.0 3b-0.0 HR-0.0 BB-12 .064/.168/.064 OPS-.231

RH--2b- 5.0 3b-0.2 HR-2.1 BB-13 .157/.258/.278 OPS-.536
12 year Angels starter, and the 5L ’89 card, looks like it could get some usage, instead of that current card.


1971 Ken Forsch HOU Throws-R BAL-3L END-S8/R4-
LH--2b- 0.5 3b-0.6 HR-0.0 BB-9 .132/.205/.149 OPS-.354

RH--2b- 3.9 3b-1.3 HR-3.4 BB-7 .213/.264/.378 OPS-.642
This would be an improvement, nice reverse balance….

2001 & 2002 are better vs LH, 2005 Astros card is his best overall, 2008 would be fun in Yankee Stadium with its 8L rating.

Tough righty who gave his right arm in the Yankee cause, 6 time World Champ, needs to have that 1952 card added for Yankees.

RH--2b- 0.6 3b-0.8 HR-1.1 BB-5 .116/.157/.168 OPS-.325
Has an RP card, but here’s an SP card, pretty good addition, led League with 2.24 ERA.

Led League in Wins (23) and K (198), hard to find a good Roberts card, guy won 211 games during the 1950s.
Maybe this 5R card might get some use.

16 year Cubs starter, Ruth allegedly called his shot off Root, 1926 would be a good add.

Great list Andy, thanks!

I'd add Fritz Peterson to it. 1969 would be his best card. The current one is not very good.

Added him and 66 Koufax, though that Koufax is not an improvement.

Tiny Bonham 1942 - 21 game winner who led the league in winning %, CG's, SO's, WHIP and FIP. Huge improvement over his 1941 card (which is his only card in the set).

And thanks Andy for all of your hard work!

1978 Bob Knepper, Giants 17-11 2.63 1.165 Career bests in WINS & HR9. Second career bests in ERA, H9, with near career low WHIP. This would be Knepper's best Giants card.

1981 Bob Knepper, Astros 9-5 2.18 1.060 Career bests in ERA, WHIP, H9 & HR9 in strike shortened season. This would be Knepper's best Astros card.

1981 Burt Hooton, Dodgers 11-6 2.28 1.103 Career bests in ERA, BB9 & HR9 in strike shortened season. Hooton was renowned for his signature pitch, the knucklecurve.

1976 Vida Blue, A's 18-13 2.35 1.109 While it would be tough to match the numbers from Blue's 1971 season, 1976 was Blue's second best season in a year when Charlie Finley was in the process of breaking up the A's. This card would probably be more usable than the 1971 card. Blue won 200+ games in his career and deserves a better card.

1965 Sonny Siebert, Indians 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 ATG card.

1968 Bobby Bolin, Giants 10-5 1.99 0.985. Career bests in in ERA, WHIP, HR9, H9 and near career best in BB9. Bolin pitched in relative anonymity his entire career, and in typical fashion, had his best year in 1968 when Bob Gibson & Juan Marichal stole all the NL pitching headlines. Was 2nd in NL in ERA & H9, & 4th in WHIP. Bolin may be the only starting pitcher from the '50s, '60s or '70s with 170+ IP and an ERA under 2 without a card.

1988 Joe Magrane, Cardinals 5-9 2.18 1.113 Led N.L. in ERA. Career bests in ERA, WHIP & H9. Just 1 ATG card.

1943 Max Lanier, Cardinals 15-7 1.90 Career best ERA & W-L%. Led NL in ERA.

not 100% your looking for name but I did put this one in the nominations thread.

1904 Rube Waddell. Current at 1905 which is his triple crown year however I believe, relative to the year and despite the numbers being similar, his 04 year had a much wider gap to the next pitcher with a 11.3 WAR. Not sure many players with WAR > 10 don't reside in current ATG9

thanks
