  Those are some damn nice looking charts!

  Now, all we need is for someone to supply minor league fielding statistics, which I can translate into position-neutral stats, and we'll have the best list of minor league players.

Michael H: do you have access to minor league data?

  I might have minor league fielding data. Which ones are necessary?

  Those are beautiful.

2 questions:
What programs do you use to read CSV files? (are there any for MAC OS X?)
A just a minor detail - I noticed that Tydus Meadows was listed as a Kansas City Royal - I think he was selected in the Rule 5 draft.

  The teams are whatever their last team was they played for.

CSV: you should be able to look at them with any text editor. I don't know what kind of text format the mac uses, but there must be some conversion utility somewhere.

  Another real (real) minor point:

Wilkerson, Brad BAL

*should read*

Wilkerson, Brad MON

While other players (e.g., Hinkse) at one point where on the team that is listed, I don't think Wilkerson was ever on Baltimore (though it would be another reason to hate the home team). I think Ottawa was reaffiliated with Baltimore a year ago, but even MLB is confused (see Homepage).

On topic: Beautiful presentation. There is something about a good chart.

  According to the above link, Myrow played in the minor league all-star team.

According to MGL's MLEs, Myrow is an excellent hitter by MLB standards.

He's also a 3B in the Yankee system.

Soooooooo..... can anyone tell me about this guy?

  The Yankees might not like his glove, 22 errors in 86 games at 3rd. Other than that, I don't understand why his name isn't being mentioned in NY.

  Ouch.... that's pretty bad. He sounds like the perfect DH.
