No Beltran?

Fangraphs pegs his 2006 at 74 RAR.

Again, I grabbed this data before the recent UZR upgrades, so guys will be off by a few runs.

Since we should be assuming reasonable error bars with the data anyway, I’m ok posting these last few graphs I’d already made and then switching to the upgraded data.

Beltran is good.

that's a good idea

Sky, chop chop! The standard here is new graphics within four minutes of a comment. Let’s go. You’ve got 1 minute left.

Surprised

That Jim Edmonds 2004 season is not on this graph.

For those interested, the next guys are:

72 Beltran 2006
72 Sizemore 2008
72 Sheffield 2003
72 Granderson 2007
72 Edmonds 2004
71 Andruw Jones 2002

Fangraphs has Edmonds at 83 RAR in 03

Did the UZR change that much? Never mind, his ARM that year was 11.5!!!

Why no Bonds seasons?

They are ridiculously awesome and take up like 3 of the top 4 spots.

I’ll have a Bonds-only and ARod-only post at some point.

Does Pujols count as an OF in 03?

He played the majority of his games there.

I didn't realize that...

but indeed, in 02 and 03 he played most of the year in left, putting up WAR values of 6 and 8.9 respectively. So hi 2003 would be a very very close 2nd to Magglio’s 07 on this list.
