5-cat guys - The Next Generation

40/40 or 30/30 is fantasticly overused here.

In 2005 there were FIVE players in all of MLB who reached the 20/20 mark, six if you're lenient and count Renaldo Winn who had 19HR 20SB.

It seems to me that every base stealer with a bit of pop is proclaimed to be a "20/20 candidate". This simply is not the case.

Indeed, Renaldo Winn is a DE for the Redskins.

whats the minimum to claim a 5-cat guy

.280avg. 100r 25hr 80rbi 30sb ????

I don't have anything to add to the future players beyond what's already been said, but I thought this was an interesting question.

Here are the minimums I would use to say that a player is clearly helping in all 5 cats.

.285 avg, 90 runs, 25 hr, 85 rbi, 15 sb

To give a little historical context, there are 14 player seasons that have exceeded all those numbers since 2003.

Sorry this formats poorly. But these are the guys who are good comparisons when you talk about 5 category players.

in my opinion i say to be a 5 cat guy a player needs numbers like this.. (but different positions are different qualifications)

20+hr 80+rbi 80+runs 15+sbs 280avg

thats the minimum, but players that put up those kind of numbers are solid to have on a team.. they dont hurt you, just keep you where you need to be. but if its a position like SS then i see homeruns around 10-12 and rbis at around 65 or so. with a 285ba

I think the standard being set on the AVG part is a bit low. To be a 5 category guy you should cleary exceed the average player in each category. Last year, the league wide BA's for the NL and AL were .262 and .268, respectively.

.285 or .290/ 95 runs / 25 homers / 90 rbi / 20 sb
