An easy comparison can be made with one of his peers, Frank Chance.
Daubert 2014 games played
Chance 1288 games played
Daubert .303 BA
Chance .288 BA
Daubert .988 Fielding Average
Chance .983 Fielding Average
Daubert 722 RBIs
Chance 596 RBIs
For most of his career Daubert played for a weaker team though the Dodgers and Reds had their deadball moments. Ah, what a poem can do for you!
In Chance's defense, he was considered by his peers, the press and the public as a real leader thus his nickname "The Peerless Leader." In Daubert's defense he played in Brooklyn a poor sister to the NL Giants and then Cincy on the western frontier so his press coverage may have lacked a bit compared to Chicago? Both were far superior players to either Tinker or Evers. Evers gets lots of credit for being a "hard competitor & brainy" but his numbers are weak.
