Rotographs Rankings First Run – Outfielders

by
January 18, 2016

Some of this is being repeated from the Primer piece that went up this morning. 

We’re bringing them to you earlier this year, but that also means that they’re far from set in stone so take that into consideration as you peruse them. There are still superstars on the free agent market, let alone all the moving and shaking that happens once players start reporting to camp.

We’re using Yahoo! eligibility requirements which is 5 starts or 10 appearances. These rankings assume the standard 5×5 categories and a re-draft league.  If we forgot someone, please let us know in the comments and we’ll make sure he’s added for the updates. If you have questions for a specific ranker on something he did, let us know in the comments. We can also be reached via Twitter:

There will be differences, sharp differences, within the rankings. The rankers have different philosophies when it comes to ranking, some of which you’re no doubt familiar with through previous iterations. Of course the idea that we’d all think the same would be silly because then what would be the point of including multiple rankers?!

Think someone should be higher or lower? Make a case. Let us know why you think that. Like I said, it’s early. Things are going to change.

The chart is sortable. If a ranker didn’t rank someone that the others did, he was given that ranker’s last rank +1. That would be 152 for Zach, 151 for Dan, 177 for Mike, 184 for myself, and 151 for Paul K. Jeff’s system had a super-deep list so he was all good here.

Key:

  • AVG – just the average of the seven ranking sets
  • Adj. AVG – the average minus the high and low rankings
  • SPLIT – the difference between the high and low rankings

The formula in the adjusted average column looks off. Harper’s adjusted average should be 2. Pollock’s adjusted average should be 7.4.

Thanks! I wasn’t 100% sure how do it in Excel so I looked it up and it turns out the formula I found was bunk. Found another one using TRIMMEAN and it looks right. Updating now.
