What do Roy White, Tim Raines, Danny Tarabull and Ron Gant all have in common?

They all played 2B for at least one game in their first season.

Correct - all were 2Bs, actually, in the minors, and after making the bigs, eventually moved to the OF.

Boomer - on a scale of 1 to 10 - how easy was this?

Wolf,

at first blush I was startled to think there was any connection. I went to baseballlibrary.com to see if something popped up. When I pulled up Ron Gant it mentioned he came up as a 2B which I did not know. But, I did know that Tartabull and Raines came up as 2B's. I then used the SBE (I could have used baseball-reference.com) to find out that Roy White played one game at 2B in his first year in the bigs.

So to answer your question somewhere in the 7 to 8 range.
