Top 200 Major League Baseball Players Ever, #169-168, RUSTY STAUB and HOME RUN BAKER

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

#169 RUSTY STAUB RF/1B Astros/Tigers/Expos/Mets

1963-85

OPS+ 124

BFW 23.1

WARP3 97.4

The strongest criticism of the list is my bias is for career as opposed to peak value; for example, on BP, Jay Jaffe has a JAWS number, a metric combining WARP3 with the 7 best seasons from each player's career; were one to argue the merits of that, I wouldn't bark that loudly. I really have grown in my appreciation for career value as opposed to peak; there's value, in my view, in the post-prime years for ballplayers who remain productive. A player who can hold above replacement value long after his top years are behind him, who maintains his health enough to keep his roster spot, is credited in this list.

#168 HOME RUN BAKER 3B Athletics/Yankees

1908-22

OPS+ 136

BFW 33.7

WARP3 89.5
