RBI 2014 - Nominations for the cover athlete

[Turd]

Guys, I'm going to be doing some box art again this year, and I thought I'd get some community feedback on who the cover athelete should be? We don't have to go with an official award winner (Cy Young, MVP, etc), just a great player who had a great season and we feel for whatever reason should grace the box cover for 2014.

That said, the MVPs were:
McCutchen and Cabrera

The Cy Youngs were:
Scherzer and Kershaw

Discuss!! Once we have a list of nominees, I'll put it to a vote.

I reserve the right to veto any of the nominees, though if they are reasonable, I won't do that. 

Nominees
----------------------------
Yasiel Puig
Paul Fucking Goldschmidt
David Ortiz
Andrew McCutchen
Chris Davis
Max Scherzer
Clayton Kershaw
Troy Tulowitzki

[BDawk]

Puig or Trout

[Turd]

I'm banning trout this year since he was last year's cover athlete, but I'll accept Puig as a nominee...thanks...

[Turd]

P.S. I'm not 100% against it, but I'd also like an alternative to Miggy since he's gracing the cover of MLB: The Show 14...that said, he'll be one of the nominees...

[BeefMaster]

Gary Varsho

[Turd]

Veto. Current players only

[fknmclane]

Paul Fucking Goldschmidt.

[Turd]

Paul Fucking Goldschmidt.

Jesus, yeah, that's a killer slash line:
.302/.401/.551

It was a big year that garnered the top prize, I nominate David Ortiz.

[Gantry]

Ortiz would be an EXCELLENT player in RBI

[fightonusc]

Chris Davis

[fightonusc]

Charlie Lisk

[Turd]

So far, I'm really liking Chris Davis and Paul Goldschmidt...Relevant, but will never garner the full media attention needed to grace a video game cover...

Plus if I had to like an AL team, for some reason I find myself liking the Orioles.

[fathedX]

Troy Tulowitzki

[Shooty]

Chris Davis seems like a good choice.

[BDawk]

Canseco

[Turd]

Tulo is another good one...

[Brookensrules!]

It was a big year that garnered the top prize, I nominate David Ortiz.

I agree.  Big post-season numbers.

[ichiro]

Coco Crisp!

[fknmclane]

Paul Fucking Goldschmidt.

Jesus, yeah, that's a killer slash line:
.302/.401/.551

I nominated him because I'm a fkn homer but also because power is the name of the game in RBI.  Chris Davis is also a great choice.
