They should be fair for the most part. It's also interesting to note that most of those who are complaining about ranking are all making arguments that the star players on their favorite teams are too low. We all have bias towards our favorite teams.

I think itd be all bias if i just stood back "Ah RIZZOS DA BEST PLAYER" but i linked his fangraphs page, stated how he deserves a better rating.

And if you're worried about his defense, i believe his numbers last year had him a terrfic first baseman..... Its not just offense (:

And about the previous year thing, i dont think it matters much as they have Corey Kluber incredibly high (which he should be, he was freaking awesome lol)
