Bentley Cancienne, C

It doesn't take much to be a Hall of Fame catcher. Cancienne's career ended with very similar stats to Josh Fowler's. He was drafted in the 2nd round by the Red Sox but was traded to the Marlins and then to the Rangers where he made two all-star teams and won three silver sluggers. He made a third all-star team as a member of the Angels.

Career Stats: 6075 PA, 1470 H, .345 wOBA, 109 wRC+, -1.4 ZR, 35.2 WAR, 29.7 JAWS

Michael Sorensen, RHP

Sorenson was on the Dodgers recent three World Series teams and made an all-star appearance in 1934. He was drafted out of New Mexico State University in the 2nd round in 1928 and had a good long run as a #2/3 starter in the Dodgers rotation for over a decade.

Career Stats: 3011 IP, 894 BB, 1095 K, 3.66 FIP, 95 FIP-, 46.7 WAR, 46.3 JAWS

Tony Willson, RHP

Willson had a great peak where he won two pitcher of the year awards but didn't start in the majors until he was 24 and fell off sharply in his 30s. He also made four all-star appearances. Not bad for a pitcher drafted in the 3rd round out of Missouri.

Career Stats: 2861.7 IP, 1007 BB, 1144 K, 3.58 FIP, 95 FIP-, 45.1 WAR, 44.6 JAWS

Lloyd Hu, LHP

Hu was drafted in the 3rd round as well. He won a gold glove and appeared in 6 all-star games over the course of his long career, where he accumulated over 50 WAR almost exclusively with the Reds. He led the league in strikeouts for 7 straight years and for 8 out of 9 in the 1930s.

Career Stats: 3331.7 IP, 1721 BB, 1959 K, 3.81 FIP, 96 FIP-, 51.1 WAR, 40.6 JAWS
