Fred- True enough. I found a couple of McPhee prices and I may never own that one. I appreciate all of the information. This site has such a wealth of knowledge when it comes to vintage that I am sure it will be a great resource.
Chris- Very cool. I am excited about the project. I used a few different things. I used OPS+ for position players and ERA+ for pitchers. I looked at WAR and OBP. Then I just looked over their stats as a whole. Players had to have a minimum of 5 years with Cincinnati.
Here is the list I made:
C- Ernie Lombardi (1932-1942)
1B- Frank McCormick (1934-1945)
2B- Bid McPhee (1882-1899)
SS- Tommy Corcoran (1897-1906)
3B- Heinie Groh (1913-1921)
LF- Bob Bescher (1908-1913)
CF- Edd Roush (1917-1926)
RF- Ival Goodman (1935-1942)
Starting Pitchers
Eppa Rixey (LH) (1921-1933)
Adolfo Luque (RH) (1918-1929)
Bucky Walters (RH) (1938-1948)
Noodles Hahn (LH) (1899-1905)
Tony Mullane (RH) (1886-1893)
Pitchers
Paul Derringer (RH) (1933-1942)
Pete Donohue (RH) (1921-1930)
Johnny Vander Meer (LH) (1937-1949)
Red Lucas (RH) (1926-1933)
Will White (RH) (1882-1886)
Bob Ewing (RH) (1902-1909)
Frank Dwyer (RH) (1892-1899)
Bench
C- Bubbles Hargrave (1921-1928)
1B- John Reilly (1883-1891)
2B/SS- Hughie Critz (1924-1930)
2B/SS- Lonny Frey (1938-1946)
3B- Arlie Latham (1890-1895)
LF- Rube Bressler (1917-1927)
CF- Cy Seymour (1902-1906)
RF- Curt Walker (1924-1930)
The years are the years they played for Cincinnati. I'm sure that there are others who would have a different list and that's fine, but this is what I came up with and I think its a solid list.
