I’m sure this thread will contain unanimous agreement that they got it right and there will be no complaints.
First time ever Jose Ramirez might’ve been overrated
The “Jose Ramirez is underrated” movement has become so mainstream that it’s overcorrected and he’s slightly overrated now
Look I love cal but…
I would switch Cal and Soto and move Ramirez below Carroll.
But overall pretty accurate list
Corb
They tried really hard not to put two dodgers because how is Yamamoto not here
i am shocked at how much i agree with these. i want to be mad, this is reddit!
Pitchers are being undervalued here. No way there isn’t a single one in the top 5. Ohtani aside.
I honestly can’t believe Skenes and Skubal are that low. They have both gotten the better of almost every hitter on this list more than the other way around.
I pray Jose is the 5th best but seems a bit high lol
I love my goat but I would not put him above every single pitcher in the league, personally
I know he had a monster postseason but Vlad was 36th in fWAR last season among position players alone. 10th feels a bit high.
My goat Soto
This feels a bit tough on Soto. But overall I can’t really see anything I think is egregious.
Dbacks got away with murder pulling the trigger on that Carroll contract early on
Whyyyyy does MLB network insists on using the red background + red logo for the Dbacks. Looks like a blurry blob. They changed it for broadcasts mid season last year but now they’re back to it.
Looking forward to seeing Acuña healthy and challenging the fuck outta this list
José Ramírez over Juan Soto? Let’s fucking go
Has there ever been a better player ranked #2 than Judge at the moment?
Maybe Randy Johnson during peak Bonds?
Its crazy how low they have Corey Seager
Dombrowski on cloud 9 right now
Crochet needs some love
Kyle Tucker is a top 5 paid athlete on earth and isn’t on this list lol
The fact that Bo Bichette will be making more than most of these players
You know I have to say this is an agreeable list. I am a little surprised
Ronald Acuna gonna be back on that list next year. Should be fun to watch this season.
Jose is number one in my heart.
Why’d they post the dodgers shopping list?
My goat needs an MVP.
And Shohei’s annual salary is a tiny percentage of all these other guys. He’s a bargain!
Juan Soto is so good that being 6th is actually underrating him
Vlad should be like 5th, he was on another level in the playoffs.
Juan Soto is better than Cal Raleigh and José Ramírez. Both of those guys are great, don’t get me wrong, but come on.
This is a pretty good top 10, could argue a couple, surprised not to see Yamamoto on the list but nobody seems egregious
I miss seeing Trout on these 🙁
I like how there are 10 different teams represented in the list. If you go to a game, there’s a 45% chance you get to see a certified stud take the field
BOBBY!
Love to see Ramirez getting his flowers
Vladdy seems like a bold prediction for top 10. His ceiling is definitely top 10, but I feel like he needs to do a 2021 or 2024, whereas a guy like Kyle Tucker or Ketel Marte are just as likely as Vlad to have an OPS+ over 140 but with other tools.
