If you follow Beyond the Box Score at all, you'll know that they do a Graph of the Day everyday, usually comparing two players wins above replacement historically using data from Sean Smith's Historical WAR database. Today, I'm doing something similar, but I'm comparing one player to himself. Above, you'll see Ken Griffey Jr.'s career sorted from best to worst WAR. His seasons with the Reds are in red, with the Mariners are in blue. (larger image) NOTE: These are not displayed in order by year but by quality. That's right, every season Griffey had with the Reds was worse than any season he had with the Mariners except for one. What a disappointment.
