Before everybody goes nuclear on Crawford being 9th:

He isn't worse than Manny or Bay ingame, he is different. But the overall rating for LF is mostly based on power ratings, just like speed+defense are more important for the SS OVR.
Crawford will be a better contact hitter, basestealer and defender, but lacks power for a corner OF, that's why he is ranked 9th overall.

I hope next year there will be no OVR rating at all, because everybody brings something different to the table.
