Re: ? The SHOW 20 - Top Rated Player ?

Why is Lance Lynn listed, heck why is this list so AL West centric?

The correct answer is:

1A: Rich Hill
1B: Mike Trout
1C: Willians Astudillo

All 99 overall.

As much as I dig RAJ, it's Trout and that's it.

Agreed on both counts...it's an odd list because he just threw on the guys from last season's WAR leaderboard, forgetting that having a high WAR for one season doesn't mean you're suddenly a great player. There's too much statistical variance in baseball to draw any stat-to-skill correlations based on one season of data (which is why SDS has used 3 seasons of data for the launch ratings).


Lynn, Semien, and Minor all doubled (or nearly doubled) their single season career high in WAR last season - that's called a career year....not a measure of how good a player is (or how they should be rated). At best, these guys are in the 80-82 OVR range and the only one likely to maintain even some of those gains is Semien (Lynn/Minor both over 30).

that's exactly where I pulled the list from. I know its a 3 year average but since its heavily weighted to the most recent season (50%/25%/25%?) I figured I'd just slant the poll towards 2019's best statistical players.
and like jcar said, it's all in fun. also, what better way to get Trout 85% of the vote than to put Minor, Lynn, Semien on the list
but I do believe Bregman Bellinger and Verlander will be just slightly under 99. really, I wish there were just one 99 everyday player and one 99 pitcher.

Do cover guys get a ratings bump? I'd imagine Baez will be a little inflated this year.

dunno but I felt like Bryce was overrated last year, which is why his moral wasn't happy right out of the box with the record contract he'd JUST signed a month earlier bump him back under 90 Overall to about an 85 and that makes him realise he IS happy someone was willing to throw away stupid money on him and overpay by a hundred million dollars.

Trout but I voted for Minor since Im a Rangers fan

Re: ? The SHOW 20 - Top Rated Player ?

Trout, but I'd also say Cole and deGrom should be 99 or 98. For position players, Yelich should be up there too.
