120 | Curt Schilling | P 28 | Joe Cronin | SS 14 |
The only one in both groups is Hoyt Wilhelm. I expected him to actually go down, but he went up a spot. A lot of these guys went down or will go down. Some of these pitchers went down as pitchers because Koufax and Kershaw passed them. Otherwise, they have fairly minor movements.
Mauer went down to 13th and Molina went up to 14th. Molina went up 24 spots due to both playing a couple of years and emphasizing WAR more. It is said he will retire after this year. I’m guessing he will pass Mauer and has a chance to top 100 but it would have to be a near all star season.
Let me see Ron Santo went down 11 spots despite staying the same position at 3rd base. It gives some separation between him and Ernie Banks which gives me a little more confidence that Ernie was the better player. However, you can argue it either way in my opinion. George Davis and Manny Ramirez went down more than I expected but I think I have them rated better now.
The consistent Hoyt Wilhelm is the person on the photograph as he is the closest from one ranking to the other.
