1. DL from MN Posted: May 06, 2022 at 03:30 PM (#6075563)1) John McGraw - a combination of the 2nd best bat, great glove and scarcity at 3B makes him a runaway choice
2) Ed Delahanty - best bat
3) Jimmy Williams
4) Vic Willis - best pitcher
5) Chick Stahl
6) Jesse Tannehill
7) Cy Young - receives a vote in the most seasons among pitchers

By and large, I'm not sure of a lot of these rankings. I could end up moving a bunch of them up or down...

2 - Vic Willis
3 - Ed Delahanty
4 - Noodles Hahn
5 - Jimmy Williams
6 - Chick Stahl
7 - Jay Hughes
8 - Fred Tenney
9 - Jesse Burkett
10 - Bobby Wallace
The rest, in what order I have right now, are Cy Young, Joe McGinnity, Kid Nichols, Roy Thomas, Tom Daly, Honus Wagner, Frank Kitson, Jesse Tannehill, Ed McFarland, and George Davis.
1) John McGraw - agree, pretty easy #1
2) Ed Delahanty
3) Vic Willis - best pitcher
4) Jimmy Williams
5) Cy Young
6) Jesse Burkett - it's very bunched up here in the middle
7) Chick Stahl
8) Noodles Hahn
9) Honus Wagner
10) Joe McGinnity - any of the four pitchers could have gone here, or 10-13 could have flip-flopped with 7-10
