His best years came with the Brewers after getting drafted 14th overall out of LSU, but he also moved to the Blue Jays, Astros, White Sox, Royals, and Giants. He won three MVP awards, four gold gloves, 8 silver sluggers, and went to 9 all-star games.

Gilson Cravoa, SS

Cravoa retires firmly in the top 10 position players ever to play and one of the top three SS - Lester Taylor is chasing down Tomas Reed for the distinction of number one.

He won two MVP awards, five silver sluggers, four playoff MVPs, and went to 9 all-star games.

Jax Slaughter, CF

Slaughter was a top-20 position player though much of his peak was ruined due to injury. He won two MVP awards, one gold glove, two silver sluggers, three World Series, and two playoff MVPs. He was selected to seven all-star games. Slaughter was drafted 2nd overall in 1924 out of the University of Maryland.

Career Stats: 9684 PA 2392 H, 119 HR, 267 SB, .346 wOBA, 110 wRC+, 126.3 ZR, 57.4 WAR, 47.3 JAWS
