In this section, we have our two best seasons yet, Giambi's 2011 and Rusie's 1893; the first two seasons to hit "Elite" status (MVP Quality is 8 wins above replacement, Elite is 10, an Inner Circle season would be 12). Rusie's the new best pitcher so far, just slipping by Vance. Giambi's got a couple thousand more plate appearances than Greenberg, and Hank's adjusted slugging of .616 remains the most impressive number on the board, so Greenberg stays the starting first baseman, but Giambi's Elite season puts him on the current version of the all time team.
Additionally, note Flick's 3/4/5 adjusted slashline, he joins Berkman in that membership. Flick's career value with limited number of plate appearances is also extra impressive, and that's the data point that gets he and Kelly named to the all time team at this point in the list.
