Change in Offense, in Graph Form
Patriot checks in with some cool graphs as to how much offense was generated by each position, historically. He’s got some data for you to download as well. A few months ago, I also published data on Google Docs. Back then, I hadn’t split the three OF positions (excepts since 1996). I should get that fixed at some point.
I don’t know why the offensive production of 1B and CF would be equal in the late 1940s. Clearly, it would be a mistake to think that the average fielding 1B back then would match the average fielding CF (a good reason not to use offense production to apply a positional adjustment). The huge drop in SS offense in the 1970s was probably due to the artifical turf putting a premium on fielders.
