Baseball Toaster was unplugged on February 4, 2009.
As promised, here's the player development data per team per decade.
A few things to keep in mind: All franchises are labeled as of their current iteration. So no comments that the Twins didn't exist in the Thirties, OK?
Also, the data are extremely sketchy prior to the Fifties. Therefore, I have added the year ranges for each decade to illustrate how sketchy.
Finally, the data since 2000 is even more sketchy. Therefore, I rolled all post-2000 data into the Nineties.
Here goes…
The Thirties:
