WALKER 'BOOK' RHOADES
Rhoades was *the* key acquisition for the Boston Red Stockings in the offseason and proved his worth as he led the team to the championship with a tremendous season. He won 49 of his 67 starts and posted a 2.22 ERA for the league's best team.

CAVETANO BLANCO
After a subpar season in 1874, Blanco re-established himself as one of the top arms in the Association, winning 30 of his 55 starts for the Philadelphia White Stockings. He wasn't quite up to the sensational season he had in his first campaign with Philadelphia, but he's shown signs of improvement. Of course, how long he will remain in the U.S. with a Cuban league appearing to be on the near horizon, remains to be seen.

ARTURO VILLANUEVA
In his fourth season in professional baseball, Cuban infielder Arturo Villanueva appears to have established himself as a very good fielder and decent, though unspectacular, hitter. An ardent Cuban patriot, it is very likely that when a pro loop establishes a foothold on the island, Villanueva will hie himself back home to both agitate for Cuban independence, and continue his baseball career. He had a .272 average in 1875, slightly above his career average of .269, and continued to be a force at shortstop.

JOHN MAHONEY
Like Walker Rhoades, John Mahoney joined the Red Stockings of Boston for the 1875 season. Unlike Rhoades, Mahoney did not abandon a team to do it as his former employers in Baltimore had closed up shop. Also unlike Rhoades, Mahoney struggled in his new surroundings. After having a very solid season for the Canaries in 1874, with a .322 average, Mahoney slipped to .246 in his first year in Boston. His defense at the hot corner also suffered and it's hoped (especially by Boston management) that this is just a one-time thing and the "old" Mahoney will be back in 1876. Since he's only 21, that seems likely.

JIM MCGREGOR
McGregor continue to be very much a project player for the Chicago White Stockings. In his second pro season, the 18-year-old continued a "watch and learn" process, only appearing in 26 games with a mere 20 at-bats to show for it. His defense is ahead of his bat, which is shown by his appearing at three infield positions without an error. Once his bat catches up, he should become a solid all-around player. He manaed a .250 average and recorded a pair of doubles among his five hits.

FRED MORTON
19-year-old Fred Morton only saw sporadic action with the St. Louis Brown Stockings in his first professional season, but he looked impressive in that small bit of work. In 76 at-bats over 19 games, the fresh-faced left fielder recorded 23 hits, 4 doubles and 2 triples and stole 9 bases as well. With a .303 batting average, Morton was very impressive for one so young. With the future of the Brown Stockings in doubt, it's possible that Morton will be plying his trade elsewhere in 1876.
