Based on the current calculations, yes, but standards will undoubtedly vary over time.
For example, pitching
Pitching Statistics
One point for each 10 wins over 100, limit 25.
One point for each 20 games over .500, limit 10.
For each of the following a minimum of 500 innings is required before these points are added.
One point for each .013 of winning percentage above .500, limit 15.
One point for each .20 of ERA below 4.00, limit 10.
One point for each 200 strikeouts over 1000, limit 10.
One point for each .30 of BB/9IP below 4.00, limit 10.
One point for each .30 of H/9IP below 10.00, limit 10.
One point for each 1000 innings above 1000, limit 5.
One point for each 100 complete games above 200, limit 5.
One point for each 30 shutouts, limit 5.
A top player now might be able to get 20 in the first category, but in the 1920s a lot of players would be getting the top 25 marks available.
