These are the rankings which dictates whether a player is a A,B, or C free agent, based on players agreement from 81 strike.

Interesting that Oswalt was NL best pitcher, Tex was AL highest rated player, and AJones wasn't a top 3 in NL outfield.

An interesting read, no doubt.

I'm guessing that this is a system that uses more than one season of data to guage its players...otherwise I don't see how Loretta could attain #1 at 2B again. It would also explain why A. Jones wasn't top three this season, although I doubt he would have been anyway.
