Hi, guys. I'm the one who put the chart together. I welcome any feedback. You're right, Geiger Counter, it is a starting point. It is a work in progress, but hopefully it's in good enough shape to give a decent perspective on the history at each position.
Sorry about the Pujols gaffe. This was a rough draft, and I didn't check all my positions as thoroughly as I could have. I knew 3B was his main position in his rookie year.
I will be updating the chart in a couple weeks after going back and researching a little further.
Yeah, I kept thinking there must be someone other than Salmon to go there. And it's also interesting that Ramirez and Belle were mostly in LF in their best seasons, so they're the unlucky recipients of the Bonds consolation prize.
Mays-Mantle from '58-'62? I'll expound on that later on. Actually I did give Mantle '58, and started Mays at '59.
Yes, it was made in Excel. I only had to tweak the location for the logo, and I was set. I run extensive macros for my fantasy league's results through Excel, and it's quite powerful with calculations, as well as reorganizing the data.
Maybe I'll add some analysis to it as well. Five kids, though. You know how that goes...
