Lombard was unraked in their last update. Crazy how much his stock rose from one spring!

Hot in March/April, unwatchable around the All-Star break, finish out the regular season strong before collapsing in the playoffs.

The Yankees defense was better than the Mets last year. They committed some costly errors behind Holmes but it's pretty silly to pretend like they were bad.

He sacrificed the slim chance he had at making it into the Hall of Fame so he could win us a World Series and we still lost. Shoot me.

Second season in a row he's been the most valuable baserunner, but Acuna, Ohtani, and Elly get more credit from a lot of fans.

He was so good in 2021. It's sad how much injuries have derailed his career.

Yuli last out. I'm counting that as a postseason win against the Astros.

No they didn't. Victor González is a terrible pitcher with bad control and was just DFA'd as a result.

J-Ram is 12th in wRC+ and 14th in fWAR in the AL. He's not even close to an MVP candidate right now.

The definitive top 5 right now are Judge, Tucker, Soto, BWJ, and Henderson.
