Key Incoming Rookies:
Boston
RF Jimmy Bannon, "Foxy Grandpa"
--- Age 22, 7/9/7/7/5 talents
--- The team really needed help at RF and Foxy Grandpa should move right into the starting role.
Brooklyn
1B Candy LaChance
--- Age 24, 6/7/7/2/5 talents
Chicago
P Clark Griffith
--- Age 24, 5/8/3 talents
Louisville
P Win Mercer
--- Age 19, 5/6/8 ratings
LF Kip Selbach
--- Age 21, 7/9/7/9/6 talents
--- Will be in the LF mix from the beginning with Farmer Weaver. Selbach should start versus lefties but he will eventually be an everyday starter.
CF Charlie Abbey
--- Age 27, 6/7/7/6/5 ratings
LF Fred Clarke
--- Age 21, 9/9/7/8/6 talents
--- Obviously has big-time star potential. Will spend a few seasons in the minors though.
New York
RF Wee Willie Keeler
--- Age 21, 10/6/6/4/7 talents
--- Will probably split time with Blondie Purcell but could take over the full time job at any point. Willie is clearly an excellent hitter.
Philadelphia
C Mike Grady
--- Age 24, 7/10/9/8/6 talents
--- He enters a tough situation. This is a loaded position with Jack Clements (8/8/8/5/7), Pop Schriver (7/7/9/5/6) and John Crowley (6/6/5/6/5). Grady also plays 1B but that position now belongs to Big Ed Delahanty (9/10/9/6/7) who took over the position last season from fading star Roger Connor.
P George Harper
--- Age 27, 7/4/8 ratings
Pittsburgh
C Joe Sugden
--- Age 23, 6/4/4/5/7 talents
3B Fred Hartman
--- Age 25, 6/8/6/3/6 talents
