So this is more of a call for help than anything else, but if it turns into a productive conversation I'd be delighted. I trust the knowledge and resourcefulness of the members here so I thought this to be the place to go for information. I tried looking for an appropriate thread but with no luck I figured I would create my own. Never created a thread before so be gentle. For the life of me I can't seem to find information on how players age, peak and decline based on body type but I could have sworn I've read studies on this in the past.
Is it true, and is there a study, that provides the value a player who is short in stature provides in his later years vs. a player who has a more athletic taller frame? e.g. all things being equal would Xander Bogaerts be a better bet for a 12 year contract at age 28 over someone like Mookie Betts (feel free to interchange those names) I found tons of information on aging curves in general, but nothing that seems to break down how players age based on frame.
