All Time WAR Teams

[sc73ray]

Its been a minute since I've visited, but figured some of you might be interested to know that I am porting over the 25 man WAR teams into 18 to get ready for 19...and updating them as they've changed a bit in the couple of years since I have done it. I will also attempt to take on the 50 man this spring in 19 as well as an All Time roster that will have unique players only. Below is the updated sheet for all 30 teams (each in their own tab). Feel free to peruse and ask any questions if you like.

Rosters

The Roster itself will include players that will be updated with as correct equipment, style of uniform, place of birth as accurate as I can be. Pitches will be taken from the Neyer/James Guide to Pitchers or fangraphs if current. All players are at the age they started with that respective team. I try to make the faces as realistic as possible (not cartoony)....I'm not as good as some others here, but I still stand by them.

So very glad to hear this! That is a terrific set. I remember making adjustments for live ball era players back on 17.

Hey Ray, a great book out now called "Now Taking the Field" written by Tom Stone. It has 30 man all-time teams for each franchise based on WAR among other stats. I'm certainly going to pick it up.

That seems like its right up my alley...ordering now. Thanks for the heads up.

I'm anxiously awaiting this set for 18.

I'm almost done with the American League...the backup is in the vault...its only done through AL East. 99% of the players are already in....just fixing the salaries, lineups, rotations and adding a few players where needed.

Awesome! I think I'll extend your 25 man to a 30 man as in Tom Stone's book (12 pitchers/18 position players). Love the spreadsheet you put together here. Between that and Stone's book, I have plenty of info. Haven't decided if I'm going to stay all live ball or not. Might dip into the dead ball era. I'll have to see.

I would be very excited to see that. I'm expecting the book this week sometime, I hope. Besides porting it over to 18 and 19 once it comes out, I don't think I will do much else with the WAR set. I just don't enjoy it as much as I did my All Time set without the duplicate players.



I've been working on a spreadsheet for that to see what I would need...so far it seems like I'd need an additional 500 players....about half of those I should have in the old All Time set...the rest would have to be found and fixed or created from scratch.


Here are is that spreadsheet.
