Ellsbury is a looong way from a top 3 CF in the MLB. He's not even a top 3 CF in the AL East.

Ellsbury's highest OPS in the past 4 years was .781 back in 2013.

I would take any of these over Jacoby (not in any order):

• Mike Trout
• Andrew McCutchen
• Lorenzo Cain
• AJ Pollock
• Adam Jones
• Carlos Gomez
• Jason Heyward

Throw in Cespedes, Betts and Blackmon too.

I disagree. He'll prove it again this season.

The only thing he's proving this season is that he still can't stay healthy and that 2011 was a fluke, not the real him.

Seriously, just looking ahead of him, how is Dallas Keuchel's last three years of stats average out better than Wainwrights? They have to be taking off points for Wainwrights age or bumping Keuchel for his Cy Young Award, otherwise it doesn't make any sense to me. Wainwright outperformed him in every category in 2014. Wainwright far outperformed him in 2013 as Dallas had a pretty bad year that year, which they say accounts for 1/3 of his rating. And I am not bagging on Keuchel at all just making a case that Wainwright is underrated.

Jason How many innings did Wainwright pitch last season?

[NYC22]

So Jason Werth an Khris Davis are higher ranked than Brett Gardner? This list is a joke!

Marte had 19 HRs last year and stole 30 bases, and won a gold glove. Forgot to add, he also won Wilson Defensive Player of the Year. The Shredder operates without bias I don't always agree with The Shredder, but if it says what I want, I agree!

I only listed players that have the same fWAR as Marte. Different players bring different value and Marte's value was roughly the same as the players I listed.

For instance Upton may have only hit .251, but his OBP matched Marte's.

Marte may have hit 2 more home runs than Peralta, but his slugging and OPS were well below Peralta's.
