Shemar Myrie, RHP
Myrie is another pitcher whose career was overshadowed by Cabedo and Avila. He was their contemporary, but just slightly below their level. He finished 2nd or 3rd in the Pitcher of the Year voting 5 times and was selected to 5 all-star teams. He was the AL division series MVP twice, but unfortunately never won a World Series title. Shutouts were no stranger of his, having thrown 34 of them in his major league career.
Career MLB Stats: 360 G, 537 BB, 1380 K, 2.22 FIP, 82 FIP-, 65.6 WAR
Kevin Kramer, SS
Kramer retires as the best shortstop in Major League history, or at least the best of his time. He won the 1905 NL MVP, the 1900 World Series, was a 4-time all-star, 5-time gold glover, and one-time silver slugger. Defense was certainly his strong suit, but he could hold his own as an average bat as well.
Career MLB Stats: 5788 PA, .296 wOBA, 92 wRC+, 208.9 ZR, 45.7 WAR
Roberto Castellon, LHP
Castellon was a well-known name around the league in its first 5 or 6 years, but he sharply dropped off his low-30s age plateau. He was a 2-time all-star but could never push into the elite starting pitching group.
Career MLB Stats: 272 G, 475 BB, 961 K, 2.44 FIP, 86 FIP-, 39.7 WAR
Ben Schmidt, LHP
Schmidt's career was very similar to Castellon's. He had 3 very good seasons and 4 well above average ones. However, he never broke into the elite starters and didn't hold his longevity quite enough. He was a 2-time all-star and finished 3rd in the Pitcher of the Year award once.
Career MLB Stats: 262 G, 301 BB, 611 K, 2.49 FIP, 88 FIP-, 38.9 WAR
Gelacio Arcos, CF
Arcos is the CF equivalent of Lazalde last year. He is right on the cusp of the Hall of Fame, but he's going to stay out. He had the peak necessary - two years of over 7.5 WAR, including an MVP in 1902. He was a three-time all-star, two-time gold glove, one-time silver slugger, and one-time World Series champion. In the years of stolen base frenzy, he was right at the top, finishing his career with 809, currently 3rd all-time. His 152 stolen bases in 1902 may stand as a record for a long time, and of the top SB leaders, he is the only one to have positive baserunning run value.
However, his value dropped precipitously in 1908 when he turned 32 after a fractured ankle and was never quite the same.
Career MLB Stats: 5494 PA, .320 wOBA, 109 wRC+, 85.9 ZR, 38.0 WAR
Esteban Villegas, LHP
Villegas was slightly different from the other good starters in that he was more consistent but had a lower peak. His best year was in 1906 with 4.5 WAR, but he stayed in the 2-5 WAR range from 1900 to 1907. He never made an all-star team, but he did win the World Series in 1904 with the Pirates.
Career MLB Stats: 291 G, 724 BB, 987 K, 2.84 FIP, 101 FIP-, 28.5 WAR
Luis Navarro, LHP
Navarro was one of the better closers in the beginning years of the league, making three all-star teams and winning two reliever of the year awards.
Career MLB Stats: 476 G, 146 BB, 322 K, 202 SV, 2.10 FIP, 74 FIP-, 25.9 WPA, 13.5 WAR
Jaheim Ausberry, LHP
Ausberry had a few good years as the Mets, Tigers, and Devil Rays closer, making two all-star teams. He tried to resurrect his career as an Indy league starter at the age of 39 and even pitched a shutout. He must have rethought his decision as he retired at the end of the year.
Career MLB Stats: 497 G, 176 BB, 335 K, 194 SV, 2.24 FIP, 82 FIP-, 15.4 WPA, 10.2 WAR
