Bond Lott, LHP

Lott's wipeout slider carried him through his major league career as a dominant pitcher - 8th all-time in WAR and 5th all-time in JAWS. He is one of four pitchers to ever pass the 2,000 K mark, behind J.P. Avila, Zach Jensen, and Devon McFadden. Lott was drafted 8th overall by the Phillies in 1930 out of Carbondale High School in Illinois and spent time with the Phillies, Mets, Blue Jays, and Indians in his career. He won four Pitcher of the Year awards and was a 5-time all-star.

Career Stats: 3716.7 IP, 1241 BB, 2007 K, 3.24 FIP, 86 FIP-, 75.2 WAR, 67.5 JAWS

Dale Estrada, CF

Estrada was drafted by the Brewers 1st overall in 1932 out of Rice University. Most of the value in his career came as a member of the Brewers but he spent more years as a member of the Braves. He never won an MVP award but was a three-time all-star, gold glove winner, and playoff MVP. His career stats place him solidly in the top-10 CF all-time, with similar numbers to Jax Slaughter. Estrada's 2,808 hits are fifth all-time, slotting him just behind Lester Taylor.

Career Stats: 12195 PA, 2808 H, 239 HR, 284 SB, .333 wOBA, 105 wRC+, 79.7 ZR, 57 WAR, 46.6 JAWS

K.J. Wright, SS

Wright was the MVP in 1941, won two gold gloves, three silver sluggers, went to four all-star games, was a two-time playoff MVP, and won the ultimate award -- a World Series championship. He was drafted 10th overall by the Tigers in 1936 out of Boston College. Both his WAR and JAWS totals are 7th all-time for shortstops.

Career Stats: 7274 PA, 1767 H, 65 HR, 123 SB, .350 wOBA, 114 wRC+, 88.9 ZR, 51.2 WAR, 45.3 JAWS

Luciano Hutson, SS

Hutson is an interesting case - he is the only Hall of Fame player to have fewer than 1,000 hits and one of two (Oliver Finnie) to have fewer than 5,000 PA. However, when comparing his career to other SS, it rises to the top as elite, primarily on the strength of his defense. Hutson was drafted with the 659th overall pick by the Marlins in 1936 out of Island Trees High School in Levittown, NY. He won three gold gloves, went to 6 all-star games, was a silver slugger, and World Series champ.

Career Stats: 4968 PA, 929 H, 23 HR, 185 SB, .340 wOBA, 112 wRC+, 134.5 ZR, 46 WAR, 43.1 JAWS

Anthony Taubman, 2B

Taubman spent his entire 15 year career with the Braves after getting drafted 1st overall in 1937. He was on the Washington State national championship team his final year of college - a pretty good first week of June for the young Anthony. He then won the Rookie of the Year award in 1938, along with his first of two gold gloves and first of two silver sluggers. He was a three-time all-star and 1945 NLCS MVP.

Career Stats: 8337 PA, 2008 H, 170 HR, 138 SB, .338 wOBA, 111 wRC+, 68.9 ZR, 47.8 WAR, 41.1 JAWS
