HITTERS BY POSITION - RIGHT FIELD

(asterisked players will be free agents this offseason)

Steve Brady, Louisville Grays* (0-19-.249-3) - He has never really fulfilled his potential, and at age 26 it appears he may simply be a fourth outfielder type.

Jack Chapman, Cincinnati Reds (0-7-.230-2) - This good-field, no-hit outfielder got the most playing time of the several men who the Reds tried in right.

John Clapp, Boston Red Caps* (0-25-.289-3) - After two seasons of being a part-time player, Clapp did well in his return to a starting role. However, he is said to be extremely unhappy with Boston management and has reportedly ruled out returning to the club.

Mike Dorgan, St. Louis Brown Stockings* (1-22-.266-4) - A rookie who got better as the season went on. Because of the promise he showed down the stretch, he will probably be a prized player for someone next year.

Charlie Eden, Chicago White Stockings (0-29-.259-0) - This 22-year-old rookie had an adequate season, but had a disappointing finish. His batting average declined in each successive month, going from a high of .317 in May to .218 in September.

John Glenn, Hartford Dark Blues* (0-24-.291-0) - Stepped into a starting role when Orator Shaffer went down with an injury in the early season, and did quite well. He is expected to latch on with one of the new teams as a starter.

And the award for best right fielder of 1876 goes to... JOHN GLENN OF THE HARTFORD DARK BLUES. Stepping into a starting role by chance, Glenn wins his first-ever Silver Slugger Award.
