Zobrist had a slg of over .600 and a ops of over 1 in each of april, may, and june. Who can say that? Pujols? Sure, a regression is in store, but he is legit. Most non-owners have no idea.
And Rollins? Did his ranking change materially based on the last 6 days? Dude is done.
Were is everth cabrera? On pace for 100 runs and 35 steals. Should be in the 3rd tier.
Zobrist NEEDS to be higher. If Adsrubel is healthy, he is, too.
Do Tulo, Rollins, and Alexi really deserve to be that high? Why?
I’m out of town guys, I’ll give my full reasoning when I return. I actually always avoid Rollins, but saying he’s done is a little premature. I think Zobrist is for real, but Tulo and Alexei are right there.
Love these rankings, DDD.
Ja, no doubt, very convenient–and timely, I’m looking to retool for the stretch run as I type this, it’s nice to get a spot-on update. Literally the only change I’d make here is to swap Andrus and Peralta, but admittedly I’ve always thought Peralta sucked. LOVE seeing Bartlett ahead of Reyes, great to see his Brian Robertsesque season acknowledged. As for Rollins, he’s sucked, sure, but if he goes 15/30 with 100+ runs scored, which seems realistic enough, it’s gonna be hard to find anyone better apart from Captain Obvious in FLA. If he gets hot somehow and recaptures some semblance of his former glory (*cough* Delgado last year, Ortiz, Jeter, Young *cough*), he could trounce that line and be a real difference maker, maybe a playoff MVP for H2H teams….he’s got the ceiling and the situation. He’s not even old, he’s still in his prime. Who knows…all else being equal, and Reyes being a Faberge egg, he almost has to be rated 2nd. I don’t see anything questionable about that at all. I know I’d happily trade anyone from #3 down on this list for him in a redraft without thinking twice.
