LOUISVILLE GRAYS
Like Cincinnati, this is a brand new team starting out in the National League, and they will probably struggle as a result. While they are not a terrible group, they do not have any stars who will be able to lead the team.
16 1B Charlie Hautz (0-7-.237-2 with St. Louis Red Stockings) - He had an adequate rookie season, and while he does not look like a star, he'll be a serviceable starter for this club.
49 2B Ed Somerville (0-5-.086-0 with Phil. Centennials) - If he has big league ability, he has yet to demonstrate it on the field.
30 SS John Donnelly (0-2-.308-0 with Brooklyn; lifetime .231 hitter) - At age 31, this may be his last chance to show that he can be a quality contributor in professional base ball.
10 3B Warren White (0-3-.171-1 with St. Louis Red Stockings) - This lifetime .210 hitter is another veteran being given one final chance with Louisville.
13 LF Harry Berthrong (0-18-.190-9 with Phil. Whites) - A good defender, but probably does not provide nearly enough offense at the position.
22 CF Scott Hastings (lifetime .217 hitter) - Has never been much of a hitter, and therefore seems to see a lot of good pitches.
17 RF Bill Kelly (0-7-.254-0 with Keokuk) - He's become used to being something of a place-filler at the award ceremonies, and this year should be no exceptions.
15 C Tim McGinley (0-3-.167-0 with Centennials) - Another big question mark. There simply seem to be too many unknowns with this squad.
31 SP Tommy Bond (lifetime 4-1, 1.97 with Brooklyn) - This 19-year-old is being asked to turn this ragtag bunch into contenders.
