Players that should be
-
Ichiro …… why not have the hit king and poetic outfielder. Another suggestion would be Robinson Cano. The only other sweet swinging lefty than Ken Griffey jr. Jr has been a star on many dd teams and I think another slugger in the infield isn’t shabby. Please add other suggestions you haven’t seen in recent years!

Cano is an active player, and would have been in last years game but for the fact he tested positive for PEDs and was suspended the entire year

It occurs to me after re-reading your post, you might be referring to Mariners lefties since you also mentioned Ichiro and I agree, I'd love to have Ichiro in the game.
Others I'd really like to see:

Roy Halladay
Mike Mussina
Randy Johnson (wishes do come true) (perfect game or 20k game with maxed h/9 and k/9)
Curt Schilling (postseason card with [censored] sock)
Scott Rolen
Lance Berkman
Carlos Beltran
Jeff Kent
Jose Reyes
David Wright
Tim Wakefield
Miggy Tejada
Tim Lincecum
Chris Carpenter
Robin Ventura (with a charging Nolan Ryan quirk and Nolan in turn has the noogie head quirk)
Matt Holliday
Josh Beckett
Adrian Gonzales
Manny Ramirez
Barry Bonds
Roger ClemensOlder legends:
Roy Campanella
Joe Black
Ty Cobb
Roger's Hornsby
Dizzy Dean
Hank Greenberg
Frank Robinson
Roger Maris
Bob Lemon
Sandy Koufax
Maury Wills

- listen mad I’m glad you can look up every lefty in the book but I’m talking about their swings. Ken Griffey jr is unrivaled in having the sweetest swing the game has seen. Cano doesn’t even match but is the only other hitter I can think of to put against jr. you must not watch the game and only play dd it’s okay I understand, must not be in your blood

I've watched, studied and played baseball far longer than I've played DD which I'm actually new at. This is my first year. And I don't argue that Griffey had an amazing swing. I used DD players because you were asking about DD.
In reality, I'd have to say Ted Williams was a good match.
And I'm sorry if I came off condescending, I was in a mood haha. Anyway, I wish Teddy Ballgame was in our video game, his swing was pretty sweet. Kyle Tucker modeled his approach after him but it's still not the original.
