For what it's worth, beyond adding the best years of Mickey Vernon and Buddy Lewis (noted in previous posts), the only way to improve the pre-1961 Senators franchise seem to be:
'27 Tris Speaker .327, .389, .444 (age 39)
'28 Garland Braxton 13-11, 2.51. 1.012 (could be used as a closer and not represented)
'53 Jim Busby .312, .358, .429 (major upgrade)
'42 Stan Spence .323, .384, .452 (bulletproof and a MAJOR upgrade)
'45 Roger Wolff 20-10, 2.12, 1.012 (not represented)
'52 Bob Porterfield 22-10, 3.48, 1.236 (Major upgrade)
All except Speaker were multi-year Senators
