262. Chris Carpenter

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.

221. Mark Belanger

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.

254. Paul O'Neill

Paul O’Neill cut his teeth in the majors with the Cincinnati Reds, breaking in the bigs in 1985.  Playing mostly in Rightfield, O'Neill became a starter in 1988, and he was a member of the Reds shocking 1990 World Series championship and was an All-Star in 1991.  Following the 1992 Season, O'Neill was traded to the New York Yankees, and it was in pinstripes that he achieved his greatest fame and success.

231. Dick Groat

Dick Groat was one of the greatest college athletes ever at Duke University, where he was so good at both basketball and baseball that he is in both of those sports colligate Halls of Fame.  Professionally, Groat opted to play baseball…well at first anyway.
