VLAD RANKED 38th best player by Yahoo???????

[unclepaulie]

First of all this is not my rankings, but they (Yahoo Rankings) affect my draft more than anything else. What I am talking about is Yahoo player perception. Many people in my leagues will jump on a player based simply on Yahoo's rankings, and every year I end with some really good players late. I am not saying people don't know who Vlad is, but if he drops in the rankings chances are he will slip somewhat in the Yahoo draft. I also saw Tejada's name in the 30's, did anybody else see any badly ranked players such as these?

They are always that bad. Vlad's ranking may be attributed to his injury last year. Where's Randy Johnson? I haven't looked at them yet.

Randy Johnson is at 122

The Unit at 122????????????? You have to be kidding me. That is awful.

These are the WORST rankings I have ever seen, but in a strage way I love it. This can only help me and the rest of the cafe members who put the time & effort into creating our own rankings .

As I understand it, the O-Rank is a combination of last year's stats and the current year stats. Since there are no 2004 stats yet, it's necessarily 2003 stats. As the season goes along, the O-Rank should change. It's not a projected 2004 ranking.

my god these rankings are the worst rankings Yahoo might have made so far.

[dsafds]

these arent rankings you silly gooses. besides, randy and vlad missed time, a buncha time. plus why would yahoo publish free rankings anywhere near decent ?

[drunkenmonkey]

Yahoo's rankings are pretty poor every year. Any one who was on the DL last year will be way too far down. I haven't looked yet, but I bet Giles is outta sight-outta mind on their list.
