DAMN! FG has Bryant at 8.4 WAR and Arenado at 5.2 compared to Baseball Reference. Those are big discrepancies.... ESPN has them the same as Baseball Reference... Weird. FG must do their own thing and emphasize certain stats differently...

Way better than in years past where you'd see everyone and their mother as an 80+

Good to see MLB taking the approach similar to NBA 2K

I don't know how you can't call him the best pure 3B in Baseball. Also, if you're going to use the Coors Field as a handicap, then any Rockies pitcher who wins 20 games should automatically win the Cy Young award, yes? Love this debate!

And Bryant won the MVP so by default he is better.

And wins should never be used for cy young voting.

Yeah I would take Arennado too over Donaldson. I suppose they are taking the MVP Donaldson into account, but if you switched those 2 players out and put Donaldson on Rockies and Arenado on a team like the Jays who have been good, then Arenado probably has a MVP and Donaldson wouldnt. Both are very good players, but Id take Arenado over Donaldson any day, again both are great players.

Im curious to see what some others top players are rated at, I could probably argue for a couple others being in that list, but thats more on opinion than the list being wrong.

Donaldson for mayor of Toronto.

The only thing I dislike about Donaldson is where he chose to spend his college days.

I'm a Cubs fan for life, for 35 years and counting. I am forever going to be a Kris Bryant fan, just like I'll forever be a fan of every single player that was a part of the Cubs roster in 2016. I would totally take Arenado or Machado as easily as Bryant if I was a GM. Donaldson not as much, but just due to his age. (he was a Cub prospect at one point, by the way)
