Noah Vilchez, RHP

A scouting discovery in 1910 who moved quickly through the minor leagues once he graduated from the Blue Jays International complex. He too has had some nagging injuries but still has provided well above-average value and made the 1918 all-star team.

Phoenix Amoss, CF

He is well-known as the 1st overall pick in 1915 after failing to sign out of high school and going to St Marys. He won the MVP, has been to 3 all-star games, won two silver sluggers, and was the 1917 AL Division Series MVP and 1918 AL League Championship Series MVP, winning the World Series with the Indians.

Theodore Della Francesca, RHP

He is also familiar as the 1915 Rookie of the Year, 1920 Pitcher of the Year, and 1920 all-star. He was drafted in the 2nd round of the 1912 draft out of Georgia.

Timothy Foot, LF

Foot was the 1914 Rookie of the Year and has consistently been a first-division starter in LF. He was drafted 35th overall in 1912 out of Arizona State.

Victor Handal, CF

Handal was a scouting discovery out of the Dominican Republic by the Padres in 1907 and took 6 years to get to the major leagues. He has mostly been around average but had two very good years in 1917 and 1918, closing in on the MVP level. In 1914, he was the MVP of both the Division and League Championship Series. He was also part of the Padres 1913 championship.

Daulin Jimenez, SS

Jimenez was a 4th round pick in 1912 by the Royals out of Fond du Lac High School by way of Panama. He has made three all-star teams and won a silver slugger.

Morton Zepp, C

Catchers are really hard to value and Zepp is no exception. He is a standout catcher but might never receive the recognition he deserves compared to batters at other positions. He has been to 4 all-star games, won 3 silver sluggers, and was the 1915 Rookie of the Year. He is a switch-hitting catcher who is exceedingly difficult to strike out and possesses an average glove. Zepp was drafted 31st overall in 1912 out of Florida.
