* means player never plays MLB again after this season, so would be lost anyway.

 

Year in parenthesis by a player is the year this player returns to SPB.  If no * or year is listed the player will be included in the 1959 rookies.

 

 

Very good usage for this season, and only a few minimal role players lost this time around.

 

Best,

Gary
