Always nice to get the discussion started, I haven't had enough time to do extensive research yet, but I will post my thoughts when I do more research

Solid rankings.

My thoughts...
C. If Vmart qualifies he is too low
1B. Adrian Gonzalez too low
2nd. I'd flip Kipnis and Phillips
3B. No real problems. I'd move Machado up a couple of spots.
SS. No issues here either
OF. Not a fan of Granderson. I'd move him below Bruce. I'd move Choo up ahead of Bourne.
SP. Greinke, Halladay, Gallardo and Jeff Samardzija seem low to me. Weaver, Wilson, and Fister seem high.
RP. Kimbrel first then everyone else looks right to me.

Yeah I'm not real sure how to rank V-Mart. Once ST gets going and he shows he's fine expect to see him rise up the list.

I'm really cold on AGon right now. The decline of his power numbers over the last three seasons has been troubling. I just can't see him as a Top 5 1B like previous years.

Great work

What's the reasoning on Ruiz at 13?
Is it because of the suspension or that last year's numbers were artificially enhanced?

I would assume the latter considering with the suspension it would be insane to put him that high. Heck it is too high even without the suspension.

Suspension. He tested positive for Adderall I believe. I doubt that really had much to do with his stats.
