Let me know if the time needs to be changed up or down.

You might want to note that you are referring to offensive WAR since there is also a defensive WAR statistic which is what I assumed at first.

amwoods13: No, the source is using total WAR (both offensive and defensive) as it is listed on Baseball-Reference.

Good quiz. I could have used a couple more minutes, but 10 is probably sufficient.

GREAT quiz, but it would be even better IMO if you added catchers, as they are infielders too.

Then please note that you are using the Total WAR stat, as opposed to offensive or defensive WAR. My point was that there are multiple WAR statistics, so you should specify which one you are using. Because the quiz is titled Best Infielders, the natural assumption is the best defenders, which would imply defensive WAR.

Usually offensive WAR and defensive WAR are listed and oWAR and dWAR, while WAR refers to the stat as a whole. At the very least, that's standard the other quizzes here seem to use, so I'll stick with this for now.

whenever someone says Brooks Robinson is the best 3B of all time, have them take this quiz...

Brooks (and, similarly, George Brett) were both incredible, but the timing of their careers kind of messes with their chances. I'm very curious as to who the best players are that didn't make this list. I would think that both of them are near the top.

This is one of the most fun quizzes I've taken on Sporcle. Also, one of the most cringe inducing when I realized some of the names I missed!
