Johnstone had a good long career. He had 2,581 hits. Career average of .289 and an obp of .353. That's really good because he was in a pitching era during his prime years.
He won 4 pennants with Boston - 65(didn't have any games during the regular season, but came up in the post season), 73, 74, 75. And won a pennant with the Athletics in 81. World series champ in 65 and 75. he was also an all-star six times in his career. His best year was in 77 when he batted .308 with a .401 obp. He also hit 15 homeruns.

White's career wasn't as long as Johnstone's...didn't have as many hits. But he had much better peak seasons. He ended with over 1,900 hits, and 217 homeruns. He had a career average of .287 and an obp of .379.
He won 1 pennant with the Cardinals in 1968. They lost to the Tigers in the series that year(hmm). White was a 6 time all-star. 2 time gold glove winner and the 1967 rookie of the year.

Galarraga's career is interesting. He has some decent years...hitting homeruns and getting on base. In 1992 he became a free agent and signed a big 4-year contract with the New York Giants. They traded him to the cubs before the season started and he had two okay years and then they sent him down to the minors. He still had decent ratings too. Then he retired in 96. In 7 years he had 186 homeruns. A season high of 37 in 1990. Career average of .284 and obp of .344.
He didn't win any pennants. He was elected to 3 all-star games.
