Sneak Peak - ATB Hall of Fame

I'm working on an ATB Hall of Fame based upon a revamped ATB Value score.  The score is meant to be in scale with on-base average.

Here are the top two seasons - what an incredible two years for Bonds.


In ATB VI he had the best raw stats we've ever seen in ATB batting .331 / .472 / .751 with 65 HR's.  It works out to be an all time record high "Raw wOBA" (unadjusted) of .487.

Four years later in ATB X he batted .330 / .490 / .615 in an extreme pitchers park (92 BPF).  He hit 47 homers and swiped 24 of 27 bases.  His pure ATB Value Runs score is the best all time at 184.2.*

*ATB Value is the rate stat; ATB Value Runs is the rate stat converted to a run based stat, taking into consideration plate appearances and the overall league average ATB Value.

Is there now more reason to doubt Ruth as the #1 overall pick (100-resims be damned)?  Here are the all time career leaders in ATB Value Runs:

979.0 - Bonds,Barry (lf)
929.9 - Ruth,Babe (lf)
888.2 - Williams,Ted (lf)
851.2 - Mantle,Mickey (cf)
815.3 - Wagner,Honus (ss)
803.5 - Gehrig,Lou (1b)
786.5 - Vaughan,Arky (ss)
753.2 - Hornsby,Rogers (2b)
746.8 - Lajoie,Nap (2b)
705.2 - Speaker,Tris (cf)
695.7 - Brett,George (3b)
694.8 - Musial,Stan (rf)
687.2 - Cash,Norm (1b)
679.7 - Foxx,Jimmie (1b)
663.2 - Bagwell,Jeff (1b)

More soon on ATB Value.  All the above is preliminary, but I do like the results so far as it mixes in middle infielders quite nicely when thinking in terms of positional scarcity.
