I got 3 more players

Woody Matthews, lefty starter, about 5'8 160. about 26 years old Throws 5 pitches. Fastball (mid-80s) Slider which is his best pitch. Also throws a very good change. Also throws a few curves now and again, and an occasional Splitter. Mixes those pitches well. Not a whole of Ks (5 to 6 per 9 IP). But has great control. HR totals? Above average but not great. Generally a #3 or #4 starter.

Les Funderburk, lefty reliever, 27 years old. Fastball (90-91), Splitter (his best pitch really) and Slider. Good Control, about 7 K per 9 IP. Doesnt give up many HRs. Better against lefties, but still does a very good job against righties. Very durable, very versatile. Probably best role would be setup, but he could close. Durability and ability to throw on successive days translates to probably being able to appear in 70+ games a year.

Chase Scalia C/1B/OF (corner) righty hitter. 28 years old. Solid build. Has been a successful pinch hitter in the past. Defensively is solid at all 4 positions, but not really particularly eye-popping. Perfect role would be a DH or "9th regular" (in NL). Solid hitter. About .280-.290. In 500 ABs has about 15-20 HR power, maybe 50 BBs, maybe 75-80 Ks. Fast for a catcher (but that still means he is fairly slow). Does have good instincts on the bases, though. Good doubles hitter. Good arm (all positions). Some think he would make a good coach when he retires.

I have;
Brentford "The Gentleman" Raffles, English-born 1B of the 19th century.
Will "Whispering Death" De Marco, pitcher with a supersonic fastball.
Fat Bob Sloggins, power-hitter.
Joe "Steamhammer Slim" McCall.
Johnny "The Duke" Manhattan.
And of course there's the Korean pitcher who nearly always ends up in Boston, Fen-Wei Park.
