200 Greatest Major League Baseball Players Ever, #179-178 TIM KEEFE and BOB JOHNSON

EDIT - YOU CAN FIND THE UPDATED RANKINGS UNDER THE LABEL BEST BASEBALL PLAYERS EVER

#179 TIM KEEFE RHP Giants

1880-93

ERA+ 125

PW 35.6

WARP3 88.1

Another example of a pre 20th C player downgraded with the most recent adjustments. I recently read Bill James saying something to the effect that he regrets pushing the 19th century players as high up his rankings as he did, given the vastness in the differences between the game they played and the modern game. Worth noting here that this list is just for the top MLB players, there aren't the types of statistical adjustments that we've got for Negro league statistics, for example, that would put them on the list.

#178 BOB JOHNSON LF Athletics

1933-45

OPS+ 139

BFW 35.7

WARP3 89.8

Not on the list - the other Bob Johnson.
