Some interesting trends:
-Shortstops have been rising quite a bit in both leagues since the 1970s.
-2B men started declining in the AL in the 1940s, then starting rising again in the 1960s. But even now they have not reached their earlier peak. They started declining in the 1920s in the NL but then started back up in the late 1950s.
-3B men started to rise in the AL in the 1920s and in the 1930s in the NL. But they have tailed off in the AL since 1980.
-1B men had a big spike in the AL in the 1920s and 1930s. In both leagues, in general, they have been high but have fluctuated.
-CFers seem to have been in decline since the 1970s in both leagues.
-LFers seem to have been in decline in the AL for some time but it does not seem that way in the NL.

What about OPS?
Thanks for dropping by and reading my blog. Glad you liked it.
OPS is worth doing. I did not want to put too much info into this entry and I was mainly interested in the power component (although SLG does not do that as well as isolated power). Maybe I will do OPS in a future entry.
