HITTERS BY POSITION - CENTER FIELD

(asterisked players will be free agents this offseason)

Art Allison, Louisville Grays* (0-34-.292-5) - A consistently pretty good player, he's sure to catch on with some team this offseason.

Tom Foley, Cincinnati Reds* (0-11-.212-0) - He had a terrible season this year, and was one of the worst everyday players in the National League. Don't expect to see him starting anywhere in 1878.

Bill Harbidge, Hartford Dark Blues* (0-20-.237-1) - Had he been a little more super, he'd have been their super-sub of 1877. He played some at shortstop, left field and center field this season. Since they had no real center fielder, he's the default starter at the position.

Paul Hines, Chicago White Stockings (0-36-.305-2) - He continues to be a good but not great player. However, there is still plenty of room for him to improve - he is only 22 years old.

Frank McCarton, St. Louis Brown Stockings* (0-36-.371-0) - He continues to be one of the best players in professional base ball, and currently has the third-highest career batting average behind Cap Anson and Ross Barnes.

Count Sensenderfer, Boston Red Caps (0-18-.262-4) - Everyone suspected Harry Wright's motives when he traded his younger brother for Sensenderfer, but it turned out to be the right move, as George Wright had a horrific year in St. Louis.

And the award for best center fielder of 1877 goes to... FRANK McCARTON OF THE ST. LOUIS BROWN STOCKINGS. McCarton continues to be one of the best young players in the game, and should be a hot free agent commodity.
