I think your rankings would be easier to understand if you based them on a particular scoring format. I think there’s little doubt that rankings would be quite different based on a 4×4 roto, 5×5 roto or points/categories head to head scoring format. Some formats are homercentric while other formats really weigh steals heavily. It would even if you guys had a single format that you based all your ratings on. But just stating that outfielder A is better than outfielder B based on some unknown ranking system is really not that helpful.

Don’t get me wrong, I like reading the rankings. But there needs to be a scoring format these rankings are based on.

But mine have been based on 5×5 roto.

I think there is little difference between H2H categories vs 5×5 roto…only difference is consistency or a guy like Dan Haren might be less effective because of the playoffs.

H2H points is certainly entirely different (and I firmly believe it’s a stupid format).

I would base our rankings on a 5×5 roto format.

You would really take Upton over Crawford for the rest of the year?

I just don’t see that happening, but you never know. What we need to to have posters make a few fearless 2nd half predictions so we can pin them in a post somewhere. That way we can check back later. Upton having a better 2nd half than Crawford would be a pretty gutsy prediction. IF they both stay healthy I would guess Crawford keeps on keeping on while Upton tries to put together his normal one month fling, then turn back into Mr. Potential.

Let’s start a fearless 2nd half prediction thread tonight- let’s all contribute. Raygu yours would be a good one to kick things off with.
