45. Roy Sievers

A former Rookie of the Year for the St. Louis Browns in 1949, Roy Sievers became an offensive star for the Washington Senators in the 1950’s.  Sievers would be named to three All-Star Games as a Senator and would finish in the top five in Home Runs three times.  In 1957, he would win the Home Run and RBI Title while finishing third in American League MVP voting.

Sievers had 180 Home Runs with 823 Hits as a Senator.

43. Brian Dozier

Brian Dozier spent his first six years and change with the Minnesota Twins.  An All-Star in 2015, Dozier has brought significant power from the infield position, most notably with a 42 Home Run campaign in 2015.  From 2015 to 2017, Dozier received MVP votes, and he would also win the Gold Glove in 2017 as well as the Wilson Defensive Player accolade in 2013.  Five times, he would finish in the top ten in Power-Speed #, and he was in the top five in Runs Socred three times.

WIth Minnesota, Dozier had 928 Hits, 167 of which were Home Runs.
From Cuba, Zolio Versalles (or “Zorro” as he was commonly known as) would first suit up for the Washington Senators as a 19-year-old and win the starting job at Shortstop the first year the franchise moved to Minnesota.  Versalles is a very interesting baseball player to talk about here, and perhaps at first glance, his position here might seem very low especially for a former MVP.
Patrolling the Shortstop position for over a decade for the Washington Senators, George McBride was one of the best defensive infielders of his day.  McBride had seven seasons where he had a Defensive bWAR over 2.0 and two where he went over 3.0.  Career wise, McBride would lead the AL in Defensive bWAR four times (though granted in a time where this wasn’t a statistic) and as of this writing he is 25th overall career wise in that metric.
