One of the more fascinating things we see throughout baseball history are the ebs and flows at every position. Every period is a great period for at least one position. It also is a down period for other positions. When we have a loaded field, it can be hard to parse who really belongs and who doesn’t. At first blush, it would seem if three or four contemporaries are more accomplished than you then you probably shouldn’t be in.
However, this is an overly simplistic view. If we expand our search outward we will see that players like Matt Chapman and Rafael Devers will join this list pretty soon.
