BB51 Rankings: C/OF

[Halo Homers]

Catcher :

Johijima (SEA) - Not on list. If you think he'll put up the same numbers as in Japan .300-24-80, then tier 1. If you think he tails off, .275-15-60 then tier 4.

Barrett (CHC) - I think he deserves a tier 4-5 ranking.

McCann (ATL) - Based on the little we saw last year, deserves to be tier 5.

Outfield

Winn (SF) and Alou (SF)- Not on list, will bat in front of Bonds, a 20-20 guy, at least tier 5. Alou goes up a notch for the same reason.

Crawford (TB) - You seem to undervalue steals. I would put him tier 2 , and possibly tier 1. He is also showing increased power numbers.

Wells (TOR) Will have a much better team around him. I think he deserves tier 4.

Hermida (FLA) - If you believe the projections, he is tier 4.

Holliday (COL) and Gomes (TB) - Both showed enough in the second half to go up a tier.

Willy Taveras (HOU) - Leadoff for Houston worth tier 5.

I think Berkman and C. Lee should be moved up at least a tier, they are definitely better than Damon. I think you're underrating them a bit. I also think Javy Lopez should be moved up to tier also, he's going to get underrated probably since he didn't play too much last year.

I'd look for Maggs and Giles before Wilkerson on draft day.

Still no Coco Crisp or Rocco Baldelli.

Are the rankings taking into account projected draft value, or just actual value?

Because I think Beltran is likely to perform in Tier 3 this year, but I don't think he'll go higher than a tier 4 or 5 guy.

[Morrison8312]

I know he only played a half a season but Jeff Francoeur? He's at least a Tier 6

i'd switch Beltran with Damon....as both share similar #'s in Hits, RBI's and BA (based on 3 year average). Beltran is better in HR, RBI's and SLG. So I'd give Beltran a boost even though his #'s were below par last season!

I'd also drop Dunn a tier...as his BA is horrible .247 (also based on 3yr average)

Yes, but he'll also lead the league in home runs, rake in the runs and ribbies, steal a few bags, and I think BB said he counts OBP, in which Dunn is a beast.
