Ellsbury isn't even in consideration for top 5 let alone top 3. He's an aging player whose value originates from speed and defense. 2 things which do not age well and even if he somehow manages to duplicate his 2014 season that still isn't enough to say he's better than Trout, Pollock, Mccutchen, Kiermaier or Cain.


Tanaka is fine at 89. He had a relatively poor season and who knows how he pitches given that he opted to not have TJ surgery and you can tell that it's affecting his performance. WHIP is a useless stat unless you're playing fantasy baseball.

I hope Kyle Hendricks gets the bump up he deserves. He needs to be around an 83 or 84 overall.

29th in the league in K/9
27th in BB/9
16th in GB%

Also I think it's ridiculous that Sonny Gray can be a 92 when he has such middle of the pack peripherals.

Can't believe we are bringing up ERA to talk about how good a pitcher is

smh. Kyle Schwarber right now is a better player than Werth and K. Davis. How he isn't top 10 at his position is beyond me.

Too small of a sample size and his numbers against LHPs were pretty poor. He actually did OK in LF, minus the NLCS anyway.

That is true what you say about Schwarber. How do you feel about Correa and Lindor's rating? Remember Joey Gallo? He hit a few HRs and the roster update had his potential at 99.

Yep because apparently ERA isn't a valid stat anymore?

It's kind of like batting average: it's always gonna be on the back of the baseball card, but there are much more useful stats to actually gauge player performance.
