Art Fletcher made his way to the Major Leagues in 1909, where the Shortstop landed with the New York Giants.  Two years later, he was their starter, and he would be one of the best defensive players of the 1910s. 

Ed Morris is described by some baseball historians as one of the first great lefthanders.  That may or not be accurate, but he was the ace of a professional baseball team, and that can't be disputed.

It seemed like Chris Carpenter spent far more time on Injured Reserve then he did on a Major League roster.  That wasn't the case but damned if it wasn't an unfortunate pie chart that was freakishly close to even.

Mark Belanger wasn't a great hitter, but his fans never claimed that he was.  What Belanger did well, and perhaps better than anyone other than Ozzie Smith, was play defense, and when you play at Shortstop, you can't ask for much more.
