Have you checked the MLB active leaderboards on baseball-reference lately? Take a good look this week because by the start of the 2014 season, many names will be absent from the lists.
Todd Helton's name will be the most conspicuous by its absence on the top 10 of most offensive statistics. Factor in the suspension of Miguel Tejada, and the most likely retirement of Jason Giambi, Lance Berkman and Manny Ramirez and the set of names on the top ten leaderboards for offense becomes a bit surprising at first glance. (Who thought Adrian Beltre was this high on the lists. He's quietly having a pretty good career)
Here is what the leaderboards MIGHT look like at the start of 2014 with each players' debut year. Scary thought when you consider that a good number of players debuted this century!
