I'm curious if there's some reason you left Mays off the list. He had 5 WAR and 24 WS.

5. DanG Posted: February 22, 2012 at 09:31 PM (#4066665)

some reason you left Mays off the list. He had 5 WAR and 24 WS

Jim Hickman matched those marks and he's not up there either. Sal Bando is also absent, despite 6.2 WAR and 24 win shares. Paul Blair (5.1, 22) also deserves a mention. And Tony Perez had 6.7 WAR, not 7.4 as shown above.

6. DL from MN Posted: February 22, 2012 at 11:02 PM (#4066711)

Will correct Perez tomorrow. I can't list everyone, some people are going to be overlooked. I considered Mays briefly.

7. Mefisto Posted: February 22, 2012 at 11:11 PM (#4066716)

I'm not a voter, and it's your list, but I think it would be odd to separate Mays from guys on the list like Morgan, Aaron, Johnson, Clemente, Petrocelli, and Menke.

8. DL from MN Posted: February 22, 2012 at 11:14 PM (#4066719)

Morgan and Menke are a lot higher relative to position. The list isn't intended to be exhaustive. Part of the issue is I start with a totally different system to generate the names than the systems I'm listing.

I think that bumps Perez over Harper for me and I like Boog Powell over Roy White also.

12. bjhanke Posted: February 24, 2012 at 07:19 AM (#4067726)

Wow. WAR goes nuts over Gibson AGAIN? He's a full win ahead of Yaz, who is more than a win ahead of anyone else. And Win Shares has nothing like the Gibson ranking although they do like Yaz some. What is going on here? I thought I was the biggest Gibson fan here at BTF. - Brock

13. DL from MN Posted: February 24, 2012 at 08:30 AM (#4067733)

Gibson really hit well in 1970. .303/.347/.404/.751 is a good line for a shortstop in that era, let alone a pitcher.

14. stanmvp48 Posted: February 24, 2012 at 09:14 AM (#4067750)

I had never thought much about the AL MVP for that year. Boog was not a particularly strong selection, was he?

15. Howie Menckel Posted: February 24, 2012 at 11:11 PM (#4068331)

Yeah, Gibson was a ridiculous hitting pitcher in his best years. I remember that if the Cardinals had a rally going against the Mets, Gibson was not much of a sigh of relief as he came up.

He wasn't really so consistent a hitter every year, but he deserves extra credit for those big years. He was KILLING the matchup against so many opposing starters at a time where both SPs might well pitch into the 8th or beyond. It's another reason why the Cards, as they were listed on some Topps baseball cards in this era, won extra Gibson starts.

16. OCF Posted: February 24, 2012 at 11:57 PM (#4068351)

I remember Gibson being used as a pinch hitter, but that only happened a tiny number of times in his career, and even that tiny number of times included occasions when he was used as a pinch bunter. And, overall, he wasn't Earl Wilson as a hitter. But it's still true that it would have been insane to walk Dal Maxvill to get to Gibson.

17. Mr. C Posted: February 25, 2012 at 09:49 AM (#4068482)

The NL Hitters

Top ten according to my system (tentative list)
Tony Perez- as a 3B perez' strong offensive season puts him on top
Johnny Bench- if Bench would have played exclusively as a C, he probably would be on top(still might be)
Willie McCovey- a typical McCovey year
Rico Carty - don't let the fact that Carty had just over 550 PA prevent his monster year from being considered for the top 12 in MLB
Billie Williams- A very strong offensive season, but aided by his home park

Unlikely if the second 5 are good enough to consider for the top 12.
Bill Grabarkewitz (please forgive spelling)
Joe Torre
Rusty Staub
Bernie Carbo
Bobby Tolan

20. DL from MN Posted: March 01, 2012 at 10:17 AM (#4071744)

Pretty NL heavy ballot. Are you adjusting the NL up for league strength?

21. Qufini Posted: March 01, 2012 at 11:11 AM (#4071814)

Nope. That's just the way it turned out.

22. Qufini Posted: March 02, 2012 at 09:28 AM (#4072637)

Here's the longer answer. The reason why I have significantly more NL players on my ballot than AL players is that many of the top AL candidates have weak resumes.

Consider Howard, Powell and Killebrew. They're the #2 through 4 hitters by OPS+ but they're all poor defensive players. Hondo is a disastrous -17 in fielding runs, Powell isn't too bad at -2 and Killebrew has a pretty poor -10. Compare those numbers to the similar hitters in the NL. Rico Carty, #2 in OPS+, is a decent +1 in fielding. Another corner outfielder, Billy Williams, is a similar +2. If those numbers were reserved- if the NL sluggers were awful defenders and the AL sluggers average ones- than my ballot would have reflected that. The difference between Carty at #9 and Howard at #20 is all defense.

I'm glad you asked though. While double-checking my numbers, I realized that I made an error in addition that gave Jenkins more credit he deserved. That error drops him behind Perry among pitchers and possibly behind Grabarkewitz as well.

23. lieiam Posted: March 03, 2012 at 03:49 PM (#4073387)

Looks like another fun (read: undecided) election.
I messed about for awhile and got my numbers plugged in.
What I'm still missing and would like are Dan R's pitching numbers....
So if Dan R has new ones to post that would be AWESOME. If not, I'd still
like to have his old numbers (DL from MN, you're my ususual source for those).

Anyway, as is, here is my preliminary top "howevermany".
This includes no postseason bonus and a 10% catcher bonus...

bench, johnny 9474
yastrzemski, carl 9147
gibson, bob 8933
mccovey, willie 8263
harper, tommy 8198
mcdowell, sam 8185
perez, tony 8155
fregosi, jim 8003
jenkins, ferguson 7897
white, roy 7641
powell, boog 7269
grabarkewitz, billy 7097
oliva, tony 7069
williams, billy 7027

24. lieiam Posted: March 03, 2012 at 03:53 PM (#4073390)

One more thing... I enjoy when different systems have different players on top and we see that in 1970.
Here's the 7 systems I'm using and who is tops in each:

25. Davo Posted: March 03, 2012 at 04:22 PM (#4073397)

I have to say: I am an enormous baseball fan, and I have never heard the name Bill Grabarkewitz before in my life.

26. bjhanke Posted: March 03, 2012 at 05:24 PM (#4073412)

Bill was a utility infielder for 7 MLB years, only one of which was any serious good. That was 1970 here, his second season. He made the All-Star team with a season that looked like he'd turn into Gil McDougald, if not something even better. He played third, short, and second, hit .289 with some power, was considered to be an OK shortstop, good at third and very good at second. I don't know why, but my first guess is an injury, but Billy never even came close to duplicating that 1970 campaign. He played part time, rotating between second, short, and third (mostly second), for various teams, because he just lost the ability to hit and was let go. - Brock

27. booond Posted: March 03, 2012 at 06:04 PM (#4073417)

Grabarkewitz is a great last name.

28. David Concepcion de la Desviacion Estandar (Dan R) Posted: March 04, 2012 at 09:17 AM (#4073564)

Lieiam, it's just time constraints that stop me from calculating these every "year." If you'd like I can send you the spreadsheet and explain the methodology and perhaps you could do the legwork?

29. AndrewJ Posted: March 04, 2012 at 09:49 AM (#4073578)

One of the SABR publications in the 1990s (maybe the Baseball Research Journal?) had a feature article about all the fluke seasons there were in the 1970 season -- Bill Grabarkewitz, Campaneris and Tony Taylor (125 OPS+) were among those listed.

30. lieiam Posted: March 04, 2012 at 06:06 PM (#4073790)

Dan R,
I don't know for sure that I would have the time or that I have enough knowledge to do the legwork... but I would be interested to try!
I'm a little leery of actually posting my e-mail on here but I don't know if there is another way of doing this...

And for fluke seasons in 1970, Cito Gaston is another one.

31. Howie Menckel Posted: March 04, 2012 at 08:34 PM (#4073831)

I don't ever remember Grabarkewitz being called anything but "Billy." Might want to fix that minor issue.

Here's his 1971 card, in fact:

My godfather worked as part of the Giants grounds crew and would occasionally bring stuff home from the park. One of the things I got was a Billy Grabarkewitz bat that he'd cracked during a game. My godfather put it back together with a couple of small nails and some wood glue. I tried to use it in a pickup game and discovered a major leaguer uses a hell of a lot heavier bat than an 11 year old. I remember getting bats used by Dick Dietz and "Dirty Al" Gallagher around the same time.

Thanks for the numbers, DL from MN.
And hopefully I'll have the time and understanding to help with the legwork on getting Dan R's numbers updated!

1. Yaz
2. Bench--or it could be Bench, Yaz

Looks like that's the theme for the 1970 election
