ACTION ALERT - Around The Horn Staff Player Rankings

CLICK ON EACH GRAPHIC TO ENLARGE

With approximately 1/3 of the season gone by, our contributors have come together to offer their top 10 rotisserie player rankings for each position.

I was surprised, shocked really to find the diversity of opinion to be as wide as it was. In some instances we had players ranked 1st on someone’s card and not even ranked in the top 10 on others!

The rankings were created using the following formula. Each contributor ranked their top 10 players at each position giving 100 points for the best player and 10 points for the worst. The points were totaled for all the players and the players were sorted by points, highest to lowest with the top 10 players for each position listed.

The following 11 contributors participated in this ranking.

- Blake Kearny, Gregory Shapiro, Josh Bolan, Paul Leume, David Fry, Jim Morrison, Keith A. Baker, Dr. Roto, Robert Fairchild, Mike Cardano, Peter Costa

• If you are keeping score, the contributor with the closet correlation to the consensus results was undoubtedly, you guessed it, Dr. Roto.

I’m certain these lists will cause quite a stir in offices around the country today as there are obviously some huge stars that do not appear. Some, probably for injury reasons, others for who knows why. Either way, it’s certainly an interesting list.

You may now discuss amongst yourselves.

* Some players qualify at more than 1 position. They were ranked here wherever the contributors placed them (example, Zobrist @ SS.)

* Player Data is current as of this post.

Please keep your comments brief, to the point, and CLEAN and we will respond accordingly. - Mike Cardano
