Stat of the day

[Matt]

We doubled our All-Stars. It must be Bayer and Stephens.

Len John

I originally signed him as a UDFA, traded him to Indy, who traded him to Pittsburgh who traded him to Davenport where he went on to become a all-star in 1987.

[Pat]

Put it in a spoiler for me.

[Lintyfresh85]

Here's the real tough trivia question.

Who was the undrafted FA to be named to an all-star game?

Hint: He's still playing.

[Carlos]

Here's that same list a season or two ago.

That must include the inaugural draft, because I don't think I've drafted a single allstar.

Junior Shanan....what an enigma.

This was one of the first guys in the league that I recognized as "great ratings, shitty stats." You know, the guys who perform well below their ratings. I think when he was in DC, I had him rated something like 5-6-7-6-5. Dude was garbage. I guess he did hit 30 homers and 120 RBI for Hartford in '81, with a .228 average.

I had no clue Joe Ponte started 13 games as a fielder in 88. Mahoney must not of been exporting or something.

This stat isn't anything worth posting but thought the guy leading this stat made it worth posting:

You've reminded me of a related little quirk that catches my eye once in a while. I've noticed that sometimes the position rating doesn't seem to jive with the player's other fielding ratings (range, error, arm). For example, I have a 1B who has 4s for range, error, and arm, but his position rating is a 6. Extremely picky, I know. But it always strikes me as being odd. Maybe I'm not interpreting something correctly.

I believe experience at the position is also factored into their positional rating.
