Especially Anderson so high, but no Moncada…as per recent comparisons.

Hendriks, Robert with high ranks, Abreu #30 and Jimenez included, somewhat surprisingly.

Also, no Giolito, Kimbrel (not a shock), Grandal, Rodon or Cease.

I think the Grandal non rank is the biggest error on our team. Kimbrel as well, though he hasn't been as dominant with the Sox, he was the best closer in the NL outside of Hader, so the Sox have the next 2 after Hader IMO. 

Grandal has carried the Sox the last month, he should certainly be in the top 50. 

I find it a bit wild that Liam Hendriks is our top guy. But these lists are always weird.

It's honestly such a bad list.

Yaz probably most valuable guy on the team right now  outside of Robert with what he brings to the table from his position.  Awful list.

"We need two Yankees and two Dodgers we can rank ahead of the guy who clearly should be #1 on the list because our lips are stuck in the asses of Yankee and Dodger fans.."

He put in the note that Rodon wasnt included because of injury 

The "Experts" never fail to amaze.

So very bad. Lucas tossed a two hitter through 7 last year, his omission is completely absurd. Far more valuable than Eloy, at least this season, heading into the playoffs.

If you're in a playground picking players based on their form today, my selections would be ordered as follows:

Lucas, Anderson, Robert, Lynn, Grandal, Moncada, Hendriks, Abreu, Cease, Kopech, Rodon (Higher if healthy), Eloy.

 

Just goes to show how Timmy nationally is pretty much equal to the stature (if not ahead) of guys like Lindor, Correa and Seager…whereas Moncada is almost an afterthought to many who aren’t knowledgeable about baseball, especially advanced metrics.

Perceptions.

It will make Anderson’s eventual contract negotiations before his age 31/32 season very interesting, indeed.

 

 

Also, the Nationals were idiots for criminally undervaluing Trea Turner.

Kinda how they criminally overvalued Adam Eaton?

That’s one of those deals like the Cubs and Heyward…well, he helped win them a WS title, so that can never be completely dismissed.  We were fortunate he was both healthy for close to a full year and piled up so many outfield assists and strong numbers in RF on both sides that his value was temporarily sky high.

I guess they only had one catcher, Dodgers’ Will Smith…who they said was the best in the game, and he was pretty low.  Would have to look again, but pretty sure no Posey or Narvaez, either.

For Sox fans, ironic to hear that #50 could have also been Yelich or Avi.

Giolito game 1...
