He began his stint in the EL as the replacement of legendary Aron Mousser. He has molded himself from a horrible short stop, into a decent third baseman. A fan favorite in Philadelphia, this Irishman will start his second straight year in his adopted hometown. The Philly fans loves the hustle and grit that make up for his limited skills.

Leander Tanner, SS, Buffalo, 22 yrs

Code:

Not really a star, will actually be pretty lucky to have a job after the rosters settle. In 1875, had a fight with his field captain, Son Honahnie and wrote a worrisome letter to his sweetheart before the 1876 season. After having the starting job for all of 1875, split time as the backup to Nelson Hepworth. Tanner showed a willingness to do anything for team, spending 1/3 of his games behind the plate.

"The final line marks progress still to be made. Yet as every month passed, the child who would be king improved his standing among Chicago batsmen and the men who paid a dear quarter for entertainment. And entertain he does, hurling his body without regard around the paths. Quick enough to be the legs of older players late in games; and skilled enough around the diamond to replace them. Long time observers watch him dance across the field and can not recall a backstop with a spring such as he. To listen to the multitude feeling a chill as the edge of greatness unfolds, when the most favored ballplayer is discussed 5 years hence, only one name will matter."--Chicago Eagle
