ATB XII Statistical Update - Career Leader Boards

Earlier this week I rolled out the single season all time leaders. Today, the career leader boards are ready for release. Here's a summary of the changes

Batting
  • First and foremost, I have removed the year specificity from all career data. In other words, there are no longer two career lines for Mickey Mantle (1956 and 1957) as these have been combined into one.
  • With a great ATB XII campaign, King Kelly moves into second place all time with a .340 AVG
  • With the two seasons of Mickey Mantle 1957 removed (.474 OBP), John McGraw now has the highest career OBP of all time at .455
  • The SLG gap between Babe Ruth and Barry Bonds has been lower to 13 pts (1.074 to 1.061)
  • The All Time home run race tightened up too. Mark McGwire leads at 351, followed by Bonds at 349, and Ruth at 342
  • McGraw is now the all time stolen base king with 448, nine more than Ty cobb


Pitching
  • Similar to Mantle's situation, Randy Johnson had 3 great seasons and ended up leading several categories. Now that his statistical line has combined with several average seasons he no longer rates among the top tier of pitchers.
  • With the removal of Johnson, Pedro Martinez vaults to #1 in ERA, WHIP, K's, and K/9. He also leads in Wins, Quality Starts, IP, and Shutouts.
  • Tex Hughson is now #2 all time with a 2.89 career ERA
  • Reliever ERA's fluctuate greatly from season to season. Our previous #1, Jonathan Papelbon, is now 7th. Frank Killen is top billing with a career 2.20 ERA
  • Joe Neale now leads WHIP with a stellar 0.93.
