Furillo was replacement level, putting up a .270/.300/.408 line in ten seasons, though he only saw 400+ at-bats in his first and third years. He won a Gold Glove with only 99 games in RF in 1952 and was an All Star in 1948, going .291/.323/.420 in 115 games. His ratings started to drop early and then he got hit with injuries. He was traded to Cleveland in 1953 and played his last season in the bigs with the Red Sox in 1955.

Robinson was good, but not great. 5 AS games and 1 GG with a career 248.7 VORP. .289/.361/.434, 1272 hits. He was traded to the Orioles in 1955 and spent his last season with Kansas City in '57. His best year was 1949, the year he won the GG, with a 56.2 VORP and .304/.390/.481 line.

The Duke had a 149.2 VORP between 1947 and 1962, spending most of his career on the bench or the DL. 1951 was his lone AS selection as he put up a .255/.311/.425 line even though it wasn't his best season. He left Brooklyn after 1954, bouncing to seven different franchises with two stops with the Orioles and Angels.

Roy Campanella. Rookie of the Year, four Gold Gloves, eleven All Star appearances. Between 1948 and 1962 he had a 575.5 VORP (5th amongst catchers) and a .295/.383/.536 slash line while spending his entire career with the Dodgers. 1633 games behind the plate, 995 runs, 1738 hits, 220 doubles, 380 HRs, 1142 RBIs. At the time of his retirement he held the record for catchers for HRs and was 2nd in VORP.
