Scott and Andrew Abreu 7th? Smh Please explain maybe I’m missing something other than hes the only first baseman 30-100 back to back years.
I think Goldy, Rizzo and Cabrera aren’t controversial, so I’ll explain Davis, Votto and EE: Davis has more home runs and same amount of runs in 100 fewer plate appearances last 2 years. They’re the same age, and Davis has done more and has more potential I believe. Votto: I play mostly in OBP leagues so that’s why Votto gets a bump here, and I think it’s a choice between possibly elite power (Abreu) and elite average (Votto). EE: He has at least 34 homers and 98 RBIs last 4 years. Has Abreu done that? 😉
But seriously, you can’t go wrong with any of the top 6/7 first basemen. Nothing against Abreu – I’d love to have him on my team – but some guys are just as attractive if not a little more.
I’m admittedly an odd ball. My rankings go according to the projections I released on the site earlier. The explanation is embedded in that article.
Scott is telling the truth — he is an oddball.
Here are the projections he was speaking about.
I’m surprised Scott didn’t have Goldschmidt ranked 5th!!!
Thank you for reading. Like I indicated, my rankings are based on my projections. Feel free to take a look and offer comments there.
