Simon Brice, 2B
Simon Brice retires as the 4th best 2B behind Theodore Gonzales, Eitor Armijo, and Nic Wiener. He was a high-OBP guy and led the league four times in walks and twice in OBP in a career spent entirely with the Yankees. Unfortunately, he spent two of his prime years with long injuries (strained oblique, torn quad, separated shoulder, back spasms) which reduced his entire career value.

Brady Sheard, RF
Sheard and Brice were college teammates and they go into the MLB Hall of Fame together. Sheard was a solid defensive RF even though he never won a gold glove. He was definitely known more for his bat though, and in 1956, he led the league in hits, average, slugging, OPS, and WAR. He is the next in a long line of about six corner outfielders to have Hall of Fame careers in this era.
