200 Greatest MLB Players of All Time - 2013 update

Tuesday, December 11, 2012

The main list is here.

The number is my preferred WAR calculation, combining B-Ref and Davenport, which I think is the best cross-section for historical lists.  If Prospectus ever updates their WARP numbers for pre-1950 seasons I'll probably add those and Fangraphs and make a new calculation.

These are the numbers through 2012; no one joined the list since last year, the first year I've done an update where the full 200 held.  At the bottom is the current total of a number of notable active players.

There are currently 27 members of the 100 WAR club, Pujols will join after the 2013 season.  He has an outside chance to catch ARod this year for career value among active players.
