As a quick shorthand I like 7 year peak WAR as a comparative tool because it discounts the cumulation effects of a long career and also removes the penalty for a player who probably stayed around a few years past his expiration date.

Babe Ruth: 85.3 7yr-peak WAR

Barry Bonds: 72.7 7yr-peak WAR

Mike Trout: 65.1 7yr-peak WAR

Mickey Mantle: 64.7 7yr-peak WAR

Don Mattingly: 35.7 7yr-peak WAR

Rusty Staub: 33.3 7yr-peak WAR

Rabbit Maranville : 30.5 7yr-peak WAR

Harold Baines: 21.7 7yr-peak WAR
