Doc Gooden pitched for the Senators for 7 strong seasons, before being put in the bullpen for his final 3 seasons. He finished with an impressive 112-56 W-L record, and an ERA of 2.98. Roy Hitt made a career out of being a fair reliever, in an era when relievers weren't depended upon. He pitched in 476 innings over 155 games, walking 176 and striking out only 142. His ERA was a decent 3.18 over his 9 year career with the Reds. Frank Schulte was a typical Cub...not good enough to win, but decent enough to keep running out there. In 14 seasons, he batted .242 and had 1,069 hits. Jim St. Vrain was his pitching equivalent. He finished after 12 years with the Cubs with a 111-111 record, and a 2.47 ERA. He struck out 734 and walked 409. Not bad for the Rookie of the Year in 1902. Darryl Strawberry was the straw that stirred the drink. He played 8 seasons for the New York Giants and won the 1985 MVP award. He batted .270 in his career, with 236 homers and 434 stolen bases. He didn't make it into the HOF, but it was a pretty decent career.

Chief Bender pitched remarkably well in his 11 years with the Athletics. He amassed 179 wins and 127 losses, with a 2.41 ERA. He struck out 1697 and walked only 619. He was consistent, but never won a Cy Young Award. The Big Hurt played for 16 seasons. 9 with the White Sox and 7 with the Red Sox. He batted .287, hit 334 homers and drove in 1144 runs, while scoring 1262 himself. Kid Nichols didn't have much of a career. He fell of sharply from 1901, when he had a 21-15 record. In 1902, he had a 7-13 record, and then pitched mostly from the bullpen in 1903, going 8-4. He didn't pitch after 1903. He wasn't missed. Harmon Killebrew disappointed as well. His 7 year career with the Senators ended with a career BA of .253, and no remarkable stats. He was amazingly the rookie of the year in 1959, but he never realized his full potential.
