Stars at all 8 positions
A reader at Bill James’ site was asking about above-average players at every position (excluding pitchers).
The 2007 Yankees had 8 players with at least 2 WAR (but none at 1B).
The 2002 Angels had 8 players with at least 3 WAR (but none at catcher).
The 2001 Mariners had 10 players with at least 2 WAR (including catcher).
So, the last “complete” team was probably the 2001 Mariners. For those interested in doing further research, below are all the teams of players with at least 2 WAR, courtesy of Rally’s WAR DB (through 2008). Interesting pattern in the 1970s.
