A New York Yankee for all fifteen of his seasons of Major League Baseball career, Roy White provided dependable service over that time. White was a two-time All-Star who put up decent On Base Percentage and would lead the AL in Walks in 1972. He would also finish in the top ten in Power/Speed seven times and had 160 Home Runs with 223 Stolen Bases.
The son of Felipe Alou, Moises Alou is an interesting case here as we have a player whose sabermetric numbers were good, but he managed to compile traditional numbers that were better, and he was a player who teams wanted in their lineup and fear when he wasn’t for more than a decade. He is also known more for a foul ball that he probably could not have caught.
Milt Pappas debuted as a teenager with the Baltimore Orioles in 1957, and he would become a permanent part of the O's rotation the year after. An All-Star in both 1962 and 1965, Pappas was coming off two straight sub-three ERA and two 16-Win years and before he was packaged out to the Cincinnati Reds in exchange for future Hall of Famer, Frank Robinson.
