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 San Diego Padres 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 Fernando Tatis Jr. in 2021, who was mainly a SS. Tatis in 2021 has the 3rd highest Batting Value season in Padres history, at 41.59. The only players with more were Gary Sheffield in 1992 and Tony Gwynn in 1987, both of whom are already on the all-time team. While SS normally get a Batting Value boost from the positional comparison, Tatis was truly an exceptional hitter in 2021 regardless of his position. He led the league in HR with 42 and had an impressive .975 OPS and 166 OPS+. An honorable mention for the DH spot could go to Ken Caminiti in 1996, who had 39.97 Batting Value as a 3B. He hit 40 HR with a 1.028 OPS and a 174 OPS+. There is no doubt that Trevor Hoffman provided more Player Value over his career as a Padre than Heath Bell or Rollie Fingers; these are just the results from an individual seasons. Hoffman does have the 2nd and 3rd best RP seasons when it comes to Pitching Value, with Bell in 1st and Fingers in 4th. The reason that Fingers passed both of those Hoffman seasons (1996 and 1998) was because of Batting Value and Fielding Value. All-Time Team Total Player Value: 589.1875 (13th in NL, 27th in MLB)
All-Time Team Pitching Value: 201.4132 (7th in NL, 17th in MLB) All-Time Team Fielding Value: 161.8089 (10th in NL, 21st in MLB) All-Time Team Baserunning Value: 9.7153 (3rd in NL, 4th in MLB) The All-Time Padres are unfortunately one of the worst teams in history. Their baserunning ranks as one of the best, but this is the smallest component of Player Value. While their pitchers only rank slightly below average, each of their position player groups are towards the bottom. Here is how the players on the all-time team compare in terms of their Player Value components: The team is led by Gary Sheffield and Tony Gwynn, who both produced 59+ Player Value seasons.

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.
