In working on some stuff for the site, I ran into a link to a top-50 position players list I’d published 2 years ago: link.

This generation’s Oakland A’s have been a boring team on the basepaths, employing an organizational philosophy that eschews the risk of a caught stealing by leaving their runners parked on the bag.

My goodness, the Washington Nationals have been bad. Since moving out of Montreal after the 2004 season, the Nats have won 343 games and lost 466 for a .424 winning percentage. They have finished dead last in the NL East in four out of five seasons, and fourth once in 2007. In that time span, [...]

In recent years, the Minnesota Twins farm system has fallen in ranking systems. After producing the likes of Joe Mauer, Justin Morneau, Jason Kubel, Michael Cuddyer, Denard Span, Scott Baker, Nick Blackburn, Kevin Slowey, Brian Duensing, Jesse Crain and more, there was a perceived falloff in the Twins system. Strong drafts in recent years and [...]

From 2001-09 with an average payroll of only $54 million, the Minnesota Twins somehow managed to win 88 games per season on average. In those nine seasons, they earned a post-season berth on five different occasions. The Florida Marlins and Oakland Athletics are the prototypical examples of teams that achieved a lot with very little, [...]
