If he had played three more seasons (and been a full-time player), Kevin Maas would make the team. 150-100...

John Lowenstein 1982 - 176
1983- 136 / 40 point differential. He needs a platoon mate...

Back up C-1B Johnny Blanchard 1961 176, 1974 114, 62 point difference. Disqualified because was not a regular, or qualified because he played a significant role?

Well, there was great internal consistency with Blanchard, since at no point was he a regular -- he never had a 100 game season -- but he was always an important fill-in for a series of great Yankee teams. He was a guy known to even casual fans because he was always playing in October. Personally I would vote for a Blanchard Exemption here. I have vivid memories of a newspaper photo of a very angry-looking Johnny Blanchard upon learning that he had been traded to Kansas City. |

Rick Cerone also disappoints. His good season in NY was only worth 107, and it was a far better season than he ever had at any other point, but he had an 80, and a 79.

I might be dried up on this one, guys. Maybe there would be some examples from the dead ball era, but I don’t even think I want to go there... Maybe Russ could make an all time best bunters list...🤪

was the objective to find a 9-man team that met the selected criteria?.....maybe the criteria is a tad too tight?....those that are near or on the cusp might fill in the team...it would be interesting to see which ones had the "most out-of-norm year" in their career....

I didn’t have real objective to build a team, but it was s natural compulsion once this got started. When you know two players that you suspect are going to make team, and you’re right, you begin to suspect there will be many more. I’m content if this is all we get. It will teach us that this is an aberration rather than a normal occurrence. There are quite a few players that I saw that had a variance in the twenties and thirties... I find it amazing that the 2019 Yankees have Tauchman and Urshela both playing today that would qualify easily IF THEY HAD PLAYED ENOUGH SEASONS... but they haven’t...I think that it may be quite common for players to have breakout seasons, but most |

Over 100 points higher in some categories. |

Wow, 🐜hony. You found one! That season was good for an OPS + of 177. Paulie had a season at 136, and TWO seasons at 137 OPS+, as the next best, just meeting the 40 point diff criteria. Maybe there’s some hope left for a full team yet!!! Excellent catch!!!
If anyone wants to submit a possible season and doesn’t feel like doing the research, go ahead and submit them. I’ll look them up if you don’t want to... (Even if that DOES make you a lazy ass)...😂

sorry, I don't understand the criteria….Dante Bichette had an outstanding year in 1995....you will know at a glance whether he fits or not.

Umbers looked great, that was a big year for offense. Which held Dante’s OPS + to 130. We need a 40- point spread between that year and his second best, which would mean he would only be allowed a90+ in his second best year. His second best was 117+ so he only had a spread of 13 points. He does not come close. Thanks for noticing his big year though... |
