Player Value Posts
To avoid spamming the general blog page with the Player Value posts for each season/team, this blog page will serve as a separate listing of all of the Player Value posts for each season/team. These posts will be less detailed, mainly just listing out the top players each season and including the necessary files.
In this post I will list out the All-Time Arizona Diamondbacks lineup, according to Player Value. I will follow along the same format as MLB uses with its new "All-MLB" teams, which you can view here. That format is 1 player for each defensive position, 5 starters, and 2 relievers. I will only use DHs for AL teams, since most NL teams don't have enough seasons with the DH to really have a deserving player. Importantly, and as the graphic above suggests, these are based on individual seasons according to Player Value. The question we want to ask here is which version of a player would we want on our team? I want to give guys that only played a few seasons with a team an equal chance at making the lineup as the guys that spent their entire careers with one team. If you were to give this NL team a DH, you would probably go with Jay Bell in 1999, who was mainly a 2B. His Batting Value that season of 37.32 is the 4th most in Diamondbacks history, behind Gonzalez, Marte, and Goldschmidt. While he would benefit from the positional comparison as a 2B, his .931 OPS is still the highest of any player not already on the all-time team. He also hit 38 HR with 112 RBI. All-Time Team Total Player Value: 574.0581 (14th in NL, 28th in MLB)
All-Time Team Pitching Value: 183.9709 (12th in NL, 25th in MLB) All-Time Team Fielding Value: 121.7674 (13th in NL, 28th in MLB) All-Time Team Baserunning Value: 0.1151 (15th in NL, 23rd in MLB) The All-Time Diamondbacks are unfortunately one of the worst teams in history, but they are also one of the newest franchises in MLB. They rate slightly better when it comes to their outfield and catcher/first base duo, but still below average. Their bullpen rates as the worst of the all-time teams. Here is how the players on the all-time team compare in terms of their Player Value components: The team is led by Luis Gonzalez and Paul Goldschmidt, with 67 and 58 Player Value seasons, respectively. View the file below to see the numerical values of the Player Value components for each player on the all-time team:

And that's it! I'm trying to make these posts shorter and just focus on sharing the all-time teams themselves and necessary data files. If you want to investigate an individual season for a player on the all-time team, I encourage you to check out their page on Baseball Reference.
