The 54 players who reached 20 dWAR, by primary position:

The 22 players with an OPS+ of at least 100 to reach 20 dWAR, by primary position

SS - 10

2B - 3
C - 2
OF - 1

You can probably guess who the one outfielder is.

131 players in MLB history maintained an .800 OPS over 2000 career games played.

28 players in MLB history saved 150 runs with their defense.

Only 9 did both. And 7 of them are already in the Hall or did PEDs.

(Only Jones and Clemente had an .820 OPS & 200 DRS)

Only 38 players in MLB history played 1500 games Up The Middle and had an .800 OPS.

Of those, only sixteen reached 10 dWAR.

Jones is the only player to have an .850 OPS, 200 DRS, 100 SB, and 1000 RBI in his 20s.

He is also the only player to have an .800 OPS, 150 DRS, 90 SB, and 900 RBI in his 20s.

We have to lower it to a .750 OPS, 100 DRS, 80 SB, and 800 RBI just to add Beltre, Sosa, and Kaline.

Only 10 players in MLB history topped 1200 RBI, 1200 R, 150 Rfield, and maintained at least an 105 OPS+ while doing it.

Congratulations!

Utley ranks 57th in career WAA. Fifty-four of the fifty-six players (96%) ahead of him are HOF/Active/Scandal ridden.

Utley ranks 25th in WAA exclusively in seasons making the playoffs. Every single player ahead of him is HOF/Active/Scandal ridden, with the exception of @hofjones.bsky.social

It's a sandwich!

Hall of Famers Dizzy Dean and Ralph Kiner are the bread.

Would be Hall of Famers Cicotte and Rose are the cheese slices.

Snubs Lofton and Jones are the layers of meat.

Andruw is 19th, just ahead of Miguel Cabrera.

Seven outfielders in MLB history had an .800 OPS* and 150 DRS.

Four were slam dunk first ballot HOF (Mays, Yastrzemski, Kaline, Clemente).

One would've been first ballot (Bonds).

One will be first ballot (Betts).

And then there's Andruw Jones.

*min. 5000 career AB

Jones right in between Dizzy Dean and Dick Allen.

Jones is ahead of Kiner and Ichiro!

Andruw Jones is tied with Scherzer, ahead of Miguel Cabrera.

I saw Andruw Jones play A-ball in 1996 for the Durham Bulls in May. He ended the yr hitting bombs in Yankee Stadium in the WS. Very rare indeed.

Since I started the original Andruw for Hall of Fame account on the other site six years ago, not a single active player has passed Jones in career fWAR. A few are close those.

Here's how much more fWAR they need to accumulate to pass Jones.

Every other member of the 400 HR club had negative dWAR.

What regulations do you think we need to put in place to keep AI from getting dangerous?

With the elections of Dave Parker and Ichiro Suzuki, there are now 69 Hall of Fame outfielders.

If Andruw Jones was voted in tomorrow, he would rank 23rd in career WAA (35.9), right in below Tony Gwynn (36.8), and above Tim Raines & Reggie Jackson (35.4).
