How do we come up with our Top
225? |
We rank players based on several aspects that will
effect their performance. For definitions on
breakout, bust, and sleepers along with how we rank our
individual players
CLICK HERE.All of our rankings were completed before January
16, 2008. We will periodically update it when necessary. We rank the players on several factors including past numbers, talent, team's schedule, and the team or lineup the player will be in or pitching for. We value those and many other factors when ranking our players. Please
