Yes. peak value and career value can be quite different. This can lead to different answers depending on the question - "Would you rather have player X at their peak for one game" vs. "Would you rather have player X or Y when constructing an all-time team."
Way back when Bill James published his Baseball Abstract, he had Koufax #2 Peak Value, and #7 Career Value (amongst lefties). Note: Grove #1 in both instances. Interesting fact - Career One-Hitters: Ryan 12, Feller 12, Koufax 2 Considering how much time missed due to military service, Feller pretty impressive. How many more No/One hitters if he didn't miss time? Debate for another time, but Bill James has Feller #5/#6 for Peak/Career righties. Off the top of my head I would rank Feller higher.
