All-Time Oakland Athletics All-Stars by Single Season WAR - The Outfield

The method remains the same as before, ranking players by single season WAR. When there were conflicts and contrarieties between bWAR and fWAR, first look for consonance between the two values, then go to wRC+, then deep dive into fielding stats to weed out one-season surges in defensive value that seem driven by small sample noise.

So for this chapter we’ve got two Hall of Famers and one player who came completely out of...well, not left field. Center Field in this instance. Designated Hitter will be an interesting discussion as well. Just think of all the Hall of Famers who played their last season at DH for the A’s.
