It seems to me that the spectrum is better described and represented horizontally, rather than vertically, as James tends to talk about players moving leftward and rightward on the spectrum, rather than up or down.

Why does the section dealing with the defensive spectrum in the late C19th and C20th still include the designated hitter? Seems an enormous anomaly to me. 88.96.139.45 11:26, 27 November 2006 (UTC)

• I just noticed that as well -- anyone care to shed some light on this? I think it should be removed. ~~ Meeples (talk)(email) 22:22, 27 November 2006 (UTC)
