So, basically, the only reason you all pick Ripken is because he just happened to play in an era where the shortstops all really sucked? At least, that's my understanding of why his warp3 is so much higher. Am I understanding it correctly? I'm not saying it's wrong, btw, just making sure that I correctly understand that without position scarcity in his era that he would be considered less valuable than Gwynn.

the position scarcity still exists now, and will continue to exist. Sure, a replacement shortstop is probably proportionally better now than in the 80s (vs left fielders), but I'm still taking Ripken, even though I like Gwynn more.
