185. Dixie Walker

Fred "Dixie" Walker was in the New York Yankees organization for a few years, but he struggled to stay in their lineup.  The Yanks waived him, and the White Sox picked him up during the 1936 Season, and the year after, he had his breakthrough campaign in the Majors.

93. Torii Hunter

Torii Hunter had an excellent career, and the man they dubbed "Spider-Man" was a SportsCenter highlight reel with his acrobat catches.  Hunter would win 9 Gold Gloves and was also decent with his bat, earning a pair of Silver Sluggers.

248. Mort Cooper

Mort Cooper must have felt like he had arm trouble his entire career, and if that was the case, it was because it was true.

155. Jimmy Sheckard

Jimmy Sheckard spent most of his career with either Brooklyn or the Chicago Cubs, and while they were both high-profile teams, Sheckard is one of the most undervalued players in history.
