Without wading into the ethical problems presented by some of the candidates the statistics pretty much lead me to the following list
(more or less in this order) :
Position players:
Dahlen (SS)
Jimmy Sheckard
Sherry Magee
Larry Doyle
Gavvy Cravath
Mike Donlin & Chief Meyers (Very good players for not long enough)
Harry Davis

Pitchers
Cicotte
E Reulbach
Sam leever
D. Phillipe
O. Overall
Jack Quinn
Jack Pfiester (the Giant Killer)

Hal Chase:

Hal Chase's stats are not really even that good -- including his fielding numbers
His omnipresence in the T-cards was because he was the marquee player at the time for the NY AL team. . . Also he is the last guy you would ever want on your team. Forget that he threw games -- He convinced other players to throw games!
