Baltimore nominates Johnny Corcoran:

Johnny finished a brilliant career with 292 Wins (5th most all-time), a .728 winning percentage, 3747 innings pitched, 136 complete games, a 3.26 career ERA and a 1.14 career WHIP (14th best all-time).

Johnny was a 6-time All Star, led the majors in Wins with 24 in 2010 and 3 times led the majors in complete game shutouts. For 17 consecutive seasons (1999 thru 2015), Johnny won 11 or more games. Johnny also pitched a no-hitter on July 29, 2000 against the Colorado Rockies.

Johnny helped his team to the playoffs 11 times, pitched in 7 World Series, and won 5 WS rings. (Including last year, when he helped lead the Crabs to their 5th WS title.)

Hell of a player...

CIN nominates Steve Dillinger:

http://simdynasty.com/player.jsp?id=8930757

Only 4 players in FRL history have been to more All-Star teams than this man (14), with 12 starts. Dillinger is the first 3-time MVP since Dick Phillips, who did so before the most recent MVP voting changes. Dillinger bashed 446 HR while driving in 1607 and playing stout defense behind the plate, winning 3 gold gloves.

We'll miss you, Steve.

CIN also nominated these additional players:

Dave Burns, SP: http://simdynasty.com/player.jsp?id=9005739

Burns had a long and illustrious career, going 286-108 with a 3.29 career ERA. He also struck out 3,043 batters and tossed 37 career shutouts.

Jack Ayala, OF: http://simdynasty.com/player.jsp?id=8850317

Ayala was a force to be reckoned with in the middle of the Storm lineup for many seasons, amassing 535 career HR and 1881 RBI to go with 2 MVP and 9 AS Appearances.


One more, if Willy will allow:

Darby Murphy, IF: http://simdynasty.com/player.jsp?id=8850340

Murphy was not a starter the last five seasons he was in the league, instead playing a mentoring role on a stacked Storm squad. Yet, he still contributed, and what he did earlier in his career still merits a shot at the HoF. A career .302/.380 hitter, Murphy is a 4-time gold glove winner, 7-time all star, and swiped 550 bases. The consummate professional teammate.

Having no players from the angels to nominate the Angels will nominate

Darby Murphy, IF: http://simdynasty.com/player.jsp?id=8850340

Murphy was not a starter the last five seasons he was in the league, instead playing a mentoring role on a stacked Storm squad.

Darby is desreving. That way Willy does not need to consider an exception.
