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 Atlanta Braves 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 had to give this NL team a DH spot, you would probably go with J.D. Drew in 2004, who was mainly a RF. Drew in 2004 has the 6th highest Batting Value season in Atlanta Braves history, at 47.86. The 5 seasons ahead of him are all from players already on the team (Chipper Jones, Evans, Murphy, and Lopez). Drew hit 31 HR and had an OPS of 1.006, along with a stellar 8.3 WAR. Here is how the players on the all-time team compare in terms of their Player Value components: The team is led by Maddux, Evans, Murphy, and Giles, all of whom had 60+ Player Value seasons. Furcal and Aaron are also close with 58 and 55 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:
View the files below to see the Player Value components, hypothetical awards based on Player Value, and general statistics for each player season and position (if you're wondering how another player that isn't on the all-time team fares, this is the place to look):
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.
