1909 Hall of Fame
Nicolas Ramirez, RHP - The top player in this year's list, but still not at the Hall of Fame level. He pitched for 10 years, with 5 of those being upper-tier pitching value, 4 resulting in All-Star appearance. Then injuries took over and a strained triceps, torn flexor tendon, and strained oblique turned him into average/replacement level.
Career MLB Stats: 245 G, 321 BB, 839 K, 2.31 FIP, 82 FIP-, 39.9 WAR
D.J. Gilbertson, RHP - Gilbertson was a top pitcher in the first two years of the league (All-Star in 1900) but solidly average after that. He retired at the age of 37 having spent his entire career with the Angels, resulting in a World Series championship in 1901.
Career MLB Stats: 224 G, 392 BB, 564 K, 2.61 FIP, 92 FIP-, 29.4 WAR
Sean Jetty, RHP - Jetty was an average pitcher with flashes of brilliance. He never made the All-Star team but had a few 4.5-5 WAR seasons.
Career MLB Stats: 209 G, 232 BB, 453 K, 2.66 FIP, 94 FIP-, 26.9 WAR
Josh Gentile, 3B - Gentile was an above average player and would make a great coach. He won 3 Silver Slugger Awards and was the 1904 NL Championship Series MVP, helping to propel the Pirates to their 1904 World Series.
