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 had the impression that 1B was a much more important position in the early part of the century, as well, and would have moved it up past LF, at least. Is that not so? Playing infield was just much more important in the dead ball era. Do we have a reference or something for the sentence that the spectrum has only shifted once in history?
