Note – I purposely left the openings for Zimmerman and Paredes on the other guys because they’re going to fill in their ranks there as they were late additions.

Instead of a bunch of others notes on why I ranked how I did, I’ll answer any questions about my rankings or thought process in the comments as will the others if you leave them specific questions. I ranked 100 players, Zach has 91, and Mike has 92.

His appeal is a measure of certainty to his numbers because of how consistent he’s been these last several years. That deserves weight in his ranking and it’s why I have him at 16, but I have a hard time getting him much higher.

Even with last year’s awesome season, he was just 11th. He’s really good, but top 10 was tough for me as some of the emerging guys are just better, IMO.
