I'm making an all-time team roster league and was wondering if I could get some help. I've got about half a team but I need help filling in the blank spots. The thread where I'm showing my progress on this is at Fantasy Baseball and Gaming in the thread "Creating a new historical sim league" if anyone wants to check it out. Any help will be appreciated. Here is the Braves' roster I have as of right now. Corrections are welcomed.

2B Glenn Hubbard
3B Eddie Mathews
SS Rabbit Maranville
LF Rico Carty
CF Hugh Duffy
RF Hank Aaron

Now if you're NOT taking active players, that makes it a bit easier.

You might want to include:
JOHNNY LOGAN - SS
MAX SURKONT - P
LEW BURDETTE - P
BOB BUHL - P
CHET NICHOLS - P
JOEY JAY - P
GENE CONLEY - P
Most of these played for both the Boston and Milwaukee Braves in the late 1940's, but mostly in the 1950's.
If I think of others, I'll post them.

I think Blauser was better than Logan. And Burdette and Buhl, well yeah, I could have done them. Conley's on the bubble. Surkont and Nichols spent just four seasons with the Braves, they weren't really all that great. Kind of like Conley. Joey Jay's Braves career doesn't have enough meat to it, you know?
And before you say it, I realize that a few of the relief pitchers have short Braves careers, but I wanted majority or exclusive relievers. So I had no choice.
