Hey Steve,

Where does “new reliable” Hideki Matsui fall on this list. I know he only has about 3400 PA’s but I would be very curious to see how he stacks up.

Agreed. A-Rod sucks.

@ Steve Lombardi:
It’s not vs. the average player of that era? This stat has confused me lol.

RCAA takes era into account.

1 RCAA in the Dead Ball era is the same as 1 RCAA in the PED era.

1 RCAA in the Expansion era is the same as 1 RCAA in the Lively Ball era.

That’s the beauty of RCAA.

He’s good, but, he’s no Charlie Keller!

I disagree, I think these stats suggest A-Rod is a TON better then Keller. Keller didn’t play in an era defined by offense in the same light as A-Rod. Because of that and the fact that this stat compares the player to the average player in the league during that time, and the fact that their numbers are similar, just shows you how good (and much better than Keller) he is.
