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 Minnesota Twins 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. Note that Rod Carew in 1973, 1975, and 1974 actually had the top three 2B seasons, but I didn't want to have any duplicate players on the all-time team. Carew at 1B in 1977 added more value over Bob Allison at 1B in 1964 than Carew at 2B in 1973 did over Chuck Knoblauch at 2B in 1996; thus, Carew stayed at 1B and Knoblauch was slotted in at 2B. Here is how the players on the all-time team compare in terms of their Player Value components: The team is led primarily by Rod Carew's stellar 85 Player Value season in 1977 when he won the MVP, as well as by Roy Smalley in 1979, when he produced 73 Player Value.

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.
