Our new launch date for the Projector is the Monday after the Super Bowl. Which means the Evaluator will remain available for free for another week at Rotoman.com. Are you wondering what these NL heavy hitters would have earned last year in the AL? Easy. You assign Pujols to the Angels and list AL hitters. Now he earns $35 in 4x4, $32 in 5x5. He drops in rankings to the seventh best hitter overall in both formats (just ahead of Cano) from the fourth best in the NL (just ahead of, as it happens, Fielder). Point being, the Evaluator is a lot of fun. Much more fun than reading yet another puff piece about the Super Bowl. |

LaJoie hit .472 (that's batting average) in 1901. He won the triple crown and led all position players with a 9.4 War. He led (probably obviously) the league in slugging and OBP as well. |

McCovey- No Way. Once he lead the league in oWAR. 3 times in OPS+. Unless it's a 3 year consecutive peak that they use instead of a standard 5 year non-consecutive peak McCovey is a bad, bad choice. | |

Excellent guesses! It seems like Adam Dorhauer could have spared himself a lot of trouble. Slight changes in order but basically you nail it. The guy you question, Lajoie, is the only one not in Dorhauer's top 12 (he's way down out at No. 31). To be replaced by -- ? Willie McCovey. No. 11. |

Just based on oWAR for 5 year peak eyeball score ahead of Pujols, I'm going to guess: 1. Ruth 2. Bonds 3. Gehrig 4. Hornsby 5. Ted Williams 6. Mantle 7. Foxx 8. Frank Thomas 9. Cobb 10. Musial 11. Speaker 12. Lajoie? I can't figure out #12. But, I'd say the top 11 are solidly ahead of Pujols for peak value as a hitter. |

The Pedro who just retired? Maybe? He's very much towards the bottom of this list (O-for-29 in 2000) but he still gets my vote. I have to admit, I haven't read the very long essay that leads to THT's conclusion. When I have, I imagine I'm still not going to be convinced that twelve other hitters should be ranked ahead of Pujols. If peak years is even reasonably plural. |

Pujols has had a career long peak. That's his problem. Too consistent. MVP level seasons every year just touching on the other worldly. I haven't seen the list, but I would bet Pedro's other worldly 1990 & 2000 put him pretty high on the list.
If you make it a 7 year peak or a 10 year peak Pujols probably rockets to #5 on the list. |

The Hardball Times Baseball Annual 2012 concludes he's thirteenth on the list of The Greatest Batters in History at Their Peak. Only. |
