1912 Top Players Under Age 30

Wes Grossman, RF
He was taken 14th overall out of California in 1906 and is very intelligent. He won the AL MVP in 1908 and has been to three all-star teams along with winning three silver sluggers.

Bill Desmond, SS
Desmond is fresh off winning his second MVP award - the first coming in his Rookie of the Year season. He has also made two all-star teams and won a silver slugger. His name may not give it away but he is Bahaman. He was drafted 10th overall in 1907 out of Boston College.

Mike Pohlman, SS
The 61st overall pick in 1901 from Central High School in California. He didn't make the major leagues until 1906 but won the Rookie of the Year and has since made two all-star teams, won three silver sluggers, and was the 1911 World Series MVP in the Padres championship year.

Zhaire Daniel, RHP
He finished 2nd in the NL Pitcher of the Year Award voting in 1910 and has settled into an above average role. He was selected 24th overall in 1905 out of Texas A&M.

Alonso Carvajal, 3B
Carvajal didn't come from high school or college - he is the first notable international scouting discovery, signing in 1904. His rookie year was 1908 and he has only been getting better into his 20s. He is a two-time all-star and two-time silver slugger.

Dave Farver, LF
Only 28 years old but his body is wrecked. He was selected 1st overall in 1902 out of Sachem East High School and has spent a lot of time on the disabled list. He did manage to stay healthy enough in 1908 to win a silver slugger.

D.J. Vetter, SS
He was a 2nd round pick out of the New Mexico high school league in 1904 and signed with the Phillies. He's a 3-time all-star, two-time silver slugger, and world series champion.

Tim Winward, CF
He was the 8th overall pick in 1901 out of Apopka High School and has injury problems of his own, with a health status of wrecked. He has won one gold glove and been to two all-star games. He was also named the 1907 NL Championship Series MVP.

Jim Slack, CF
The 11th overall pick from Villanova in 1906. He has been consistently above average for 5 years, making 3 all-star teams and winning a World Series.
