PG, if there were one thing I'd like to see in the rankings -- not a criticism, just more of a wish list item -- it'd be a position-by-position ranking. The way it is, the top of the charts is stocked with pitchers. We seem subjectively to be valuing pitching above all else. I love pitchers, don't get me wrong, but it seems to me we're comparing apples and oranges in ranking them with guys who aren't pitchers. Plus, you have to really review the list to determine who's the best C, 2B, or whatever.
I wouldn't do away with the rankings, but it'd be fun to see breakdowns like:
1. All players
2. All hitters (those ranked for offensive skills)
3. All pitchers
4. LHP and RHP breakdowns of # 3
5. Each defensive position -- C, 1B, 2B, SS, 3B, OF -- maybe combine infielders or MIF's if you want to keep it simpler.
It just seems to me that when people recruit they are often looking to fill a particular need, and right now that info has to be gleaned, as opposed to having it already set out for you.
Or, is this stuff already available at a higher price subscription? Maybe I was just too cheap to get all the info?
