Best Yankee Hitter

There's very little going on in Yankeeland now. Mike Mussina is officially back for 2 years, and they're still looking for 2 things: a backup catcher and a righty first-baseman.

Anyway, I'm going to start delving into some topics that pique my (and hopefully your) interest.

The 1st will be a study of the best Yankee offensive season since 1974 - roughly the beginning of the free-agent/DH/Steinbrenner era. (Defense is not counted.)

The two main ingredients for determining offensive succes: VORP (value over replacement player) and EQR (equivalent runs).
Going by ranking:
Mattingly - 1986 (1st)
Jeter - 1999 (1st)
Rickey - 1985 (2nd)
Arod - 2005 (2nd)
Jeter - 2006 (3rd)
Giambi - 2003 (4th)
Mattingly - 1984 (4th)

EQR
Arod - 2005 (141)
Mattingly - 1986 (138)
Giambi - 2002 (133)
Mattingly - 1985 (132)
Jeter - 1999 (127)
Rickey - 1985 (127)

Going by these 2 stats, which I feel are fair to all offensive aspects, I now present a list of the Yankee's best offensive seasons of the last 33 years:

1. Donnie Baseball - 1986: 162 gms, .352/.394/.573, 117 runs, 113 rbi, 53 2b, 31 HR, 161 OPS+

2. Arod - 2005: 162 gms, .321/.421/.610, 21 sb, 124 runs, 130 rbi, 29 2b, 48 HR, 167 OPS+

3. The Captain - 1999: 158 gms, .349/.438/.552, 19 sb, 134 runs, 102 rbi, 37 2b, 24 HR, 161 OPS+

4. Rickey - 1985: 143 gms, .314/.419/.516, 80 sb, 146 runs, 72 rbi, 28 2b, 24 HR, 157 OPS+

5. Giambi - 2002: 155 gms, .314/.435/.598, 120 runs, 122 rbi, 34 2b, 41 HR, 174 OPS+
