Finishing up my first run of rankings with C, OF, SP, and RP coming. My rankings with the individual comments will come after the new year, but these will lay the groundwork and show you where I’m at to start. These are for 5×5 15-teamers with a 20-game eligibility threshold.

is the perez ranking more about his regression in counting stats or health related? Maybe you can’t bank on him having 130+ more ABs than the next catcher but the royals showed they are pretty comfortable giving him his ABs at DH. Even if the NL gets a DH, Phillies/Dodgers are they amenable to using their star catchers everyday?
I think you would see a small uptick in PA’s. Even 5% more would be significant.
