This is a work in progress. I'm listing the top 50 players based on their respective value in a 200M 12-team setting.
Ranking is based on WAR, which is Wins above replacement. Gehrig has 3.6 WAR in my ratings. So basically, your team is likely to lose 4 wins than if you replace him by what is probably the best first baseman that stands in the FA pool (think Jim Bottomley, who stands at nearly 0 WAR).
My ratings incorporate offense, defense, running, clutch, and roughly everything that counts for pitching, including gbA. There are still a few players for whom I still don't have gbA, so as the title says, it's a work in progress. New cards were incorporated, but I think I forgot the new Kershaw card (I'll update it). But gbA are missing for new players, so their WAR value will change somewhat.
WAR is listed in the second column besides the salary. Right you have for offensive players the value for Runs generated vs rhp and for Runs generated vs lhp. For pitchers, you have the expected number of innings and the calculated ERA in a 200 environment.
This is listed in a neutral stadium, which asssumed a HR=12/12 on both sides.
The babe's best card is the 16.47M card. His WAR is 8.2. He will give your team roughly 8 more wins than Joe Medwick, a replacement outfielder vs both lhp and rhp.
MODIFIED TOP 50
Ratings are based on a few assumptions, namely that the player sits on the bench when he is best used in a platoon---although I still assume that we will use his bad side a few times (20% for lefty crushers, 10% for right-handed sluggers). Pitching is based on 53%-47% and 24%-76% ratio for pitchers, and 27%-73% lefty-righty for hitters). You have below the amount of innings I assume a pitcher will give his team in a season based on which I evaluate his WAR. I gave lefty starting pitchers a small penalty, although I believe that in real life, the penalty is bigger than shown here in my ratings.
WAR is based on the player listed position, so if you play Mays at another position than centerfielder, his WAR value will be somewhat decreased because his defense will less contribute than in centerfield. Neverthess, I assumed that the bench replacement value would be of the same value for all three outfield positions. Just makes my life easier.
