LF John Dibblee
Age: 41
Acquired: Via Free Agent Signing (1906)
Career Statistics: .346/.427/.512 (172 OPS+), 12,696 PA, 83 HR, 1,437 RBI, 751 SB, +200 ZR (at CF)
Last Season Statistics: .346/.385/.464 (113 OPS+), 529 PA, 3 HR, 76 RBI, 7 SB, -2.3 ZR (in LF)

The ageless wonder John Dibblee will play in his 24th consecutive season since signing at 16 as a free agent before the 1906 season. He's so old that he predates the amateur draft. And if it wasn't for injuries, Dibblee probably would have the most FABL hits and even more elite seasons. He'll be stuck in a rotating outfield, but will get the majority of starts in left and the occasional start at first. Age will eventually claim him, but for now, Dibblee is still a dependable everyday starter.

CF Bob McCarty
Age: 27
Acquired: Via trade with New York (1927)
Career Statistics: .296/.357/.406 (97 OPS+), 932 PA, 5 HR, 84 RBI, 20 SB, +9.0 ZR (in CF)
Last Season Statistics: .304/.369/.429 (101 OPS+), 606 PA, 3 HR, 51 RBI, 13 SB, +7.3 ZR (in CF)

The starter for now, the lefty will get most of the starts in center against right handed pitching while the switch hitting George Jordan will rotate off the bench and start against lefties. He's a quality hitter and defender who flashed a little power in the Spring. He may end up as a 4th outfielder, but he's definitely not a bad starting center fielder.

RF Vince York
Age: 23
Acquired: Via Draft: 2nd Round, 25th Overall (1924)
Career Statistics: .429/.440/.490 (135 OPS+), 49 PA, 0 HR, 5 RBI, 1 SB, -0.2 ZR (in RF)
Last Season Statistics: .429/.440/.490 (135 OPS+), 49 PA, 0 HR, 5 RBI, 1 SB, -0.2 ZR (in RF)

After receiving a cup of coffee in September, Vince York is set to receive the most starts of any of our three outfielders. The switch hitter is one of the best young pure hitters in the FABL and he hit .407 in 1928 with Mobile throughout 527 plate appearances. York has double digit power and will always hit for a high average. He won't walk too much, but some of that could be with him being young. Batting before Bill Ashbaugh, however, won't help him learn to take more walks.

CF George Jordan
Age: 24
Acquired: Via Trade with Brooklyn (1926)
Career Statistics: .330/.390/.479 (123 OPS+), 94 PA, 1 HR, 17 RBI, 3 SB, -1.4 ZR (in CF)
Last Season Statistics: .422/.480/.600 (171 OPS+), 50 PA, 1 HR, 11 RBI, 2 SB, -0.7 ZR (in CF)

He's basically going to be a starter as Jordan will see a majority of the starts in center field against righties as well as relatively frequent starts in left and center (against lefty) with the occasional appearance in right. His September last season was amazing, as he hit 6 extra base hits and didn't strike out a single time. I think he has the talent to be a top center fielder in the league, however, he hasn't totally established himself defensively.

RF Art Panko
Age: 31
Acquired: Via Draft: 4th Round, 56th Overall (1920)
Career Statistics: .316/.372/.464 (121 OPS+), 4,626 PA, 50 HR, 684 RBI, 118 SB, +51.0 ZR (in LF)
Last Season Statistics: .318/.381/.437 (106 OPS+), 444 PA, 3 HR, 60 RBI, 11 SB, +2.1 ZR (in RF)

He's too good to sit on the bench, but I can't find any takers for the former 1922 World Series MVP. He's had seasons where he's hit 30 triples and drove in 122 runs as well, but from 1925 on he's been just an average hitter. A natural left fielder, he's adjusted well to right and can play center in a pinch as well. He's going to see semi-regular starts in right and can spell any tired starters as well. He will get the benefit of reclaiming a starting spot in the case of injury or if York struggles in an extended big league stint.

LF Dick Fessel
Age: 26
Acquired: Via Draft: 3rd Round, 36th Overall (1925)
Career Statistics: .291/.361/.373 (91 OPS+), 678 PA, 5 HR, 65 RBI, 21 SB, -2.7 ZR (in LF)
Last Season Statistics: .306/.365/.394 (92 OPS+), 359 PA, 2 HR, 40 RBI, 13 SB, -1.6 ZR (in LF)

The third and final Dick on the starting roster, Fessel won't have nearly as big of a role as he did last season. He's got a decent bat and runs pretty well, but it will be really hard for Fessel to find playing time due to his lack of defensive capabilities out in left. He might see a little time at first once Bill Miller is demoted, but I can't see him seeing the field much other then the occasional pinch hit opportunity.
