If you sort ballplayers by any statistic, you'll find something interesting that will take you by surprise. I sorted MLB by WAR Tuesday night and found out that Jhonny Peralta, of all people, is 12th on the list, at 3.4. Now, I was high on Peralta to start the season, and even I didn't see this coming. (I have to question this WAR a bit, as Peralta's so-far defensive WAR is as high as any three of his other seasons combined, but these things tend to work themselves out in the long run.)
Sort by caught-stealings, and you'll see that four players have eight or more--Billy Hamilton (34 steals, 12 caught) and Dee Gordon (42 and 8), who run like mad ... and Alex Rios (13 and 8) and Jean Segura (14 and 8), who might want to cut that crap out.
Go to ISO. Three players have an ISO (slugging percentage minus batting average) of at least .300 -- Mike Trout at .301, Edwin Encarnacion at .316, and Jose Abreu at .353. Yeah, Abreu's ISO is 37 points higher than anyone else. Dude has 33 singles and 43 extra-base hits.
The point is, things will pop out at you. When I was calculating the midseason numbers for my sorting metric Equivalent Fantasy Average (for the how-tos on it, click some of my old pieces here, here, and here), I was surprised at a few numbers. Michael Brantley has an EFA of .312, good for 10th in all of baseball. His outfield EFA is .313, putting him at fourth. I knew dude was having a good season. I had no idea he was there.
And then Joey Votto. Votto is having a fairly Votto-esque season in some ways, with an on-base percentage of .398 and more walks than strikeouts. But his batting average and ISO are at career lows. He only has six homers. His runs and RBI -- remember, I'm talking fantasy here, so they exist, whether or not they matter in real life -- total 54 (32 runs, 22 RBI); only Nick Swisher has fewer among qualified first basemen, and no one at the position has fewer RBI. So Votto's EFA is .250. Votto's EFA is .250, and Eric Hosmer's is .246. Votto and Hosmer have basically provided the same fantasy value over the season thus far.
Anyway, that's what I've been doing with EFA. Some guys will surprise you. In other cases, you'll see what you've known confirmed. Either way, it's an interesting trek through the numbers.
A couple of notes. First, on the numbers. It's 50-PAs-a-month to qualify, so there's a minimum of 150 plate appearances to qualify for EFA. Second, as I noted last month, players are listed at every position they qualify in Yahoo! fantasy -- Joe Mauer is a catcher and a first baseman, even though he hasn't caught an inning all season, because Yahoo! still allows you to play him there.
Third, I've compiled the overall EFAs slightly differently this month. Before, I gathered the numbers, position-by-position, then grouped them together for the overall list. In other words, Ian Kinsler's EFA as a second baseman was also his EFA overall. I've changed it up this time, though. The position-by-position EFAs are the same, but for the overall numbers, I've scaled everyone against everyone. By and large, the numbers won't changed much -- Votto's .250 as a first baseman is still .250 overall -- but some players change a bit. It doesn't mean much overall, but I think it's more accurate to list the "overall" EFAs as they would be most useful -- when picking a utility player for fantasy.
Finally, the big news, that might be silly and pointless. On Friday, I'm going to debut EFA for pitchers. I've struggled to work it out from the beginning -- while I don't mind comparing a guy with 500 plate appearances to a guy with 320 for most things, especially since most of offensive fantasy is counting stats, comparing a starting pitcher, with 180 innings, to a closer, with like 50, and using rate stats to do so, really throws things off.
I think I've figured out a way to do it, though -- or at least the formings of a way. So Friday's piece will give the so-far-this-season EFAs for pitchers, with an explanation of my system. Check it out, and feel free to chime in on ways to improve it, because there are bound to be some.
Okay, on to the charts!

Big riser: Salvador Perez was hitting .253/.307/.410 at the end of May, but went .347/.383/.535 in June with five homers to go from 24th at the position to a tie for sixth.
Big faller: A.J. Pierzynski wasn't lighting the world on fire through the first two months -- he hit .288, but never walks and only had four homers -- but he went in the tank in June, with a .173/.200/.213 line and no homers at all. He plummeted from eighth at catcher to 21st.
Thoughts: Mesoraco has leveled out a bit, but he's still been crazy good. ... Santana has turned things up a bit after a slow start. ... Castro has not repeated last year's breakout. ... The prospects -- Pinto, Grandal, d'Arnaud -- have been less than exciting.

Big riser: No one, really; first base was a fairly static position in June. Jose Abreu, with a full month off the DL, climbed from sixth at the position to a tie for second, showing his hot April wasn't a fluke.
Big faller: Juan Francisco was tied for 18th among first basemen after May, hitting .275 with nine homers. Then he hit .169/.217/.369 with only three bombs in June, and he fell to a tie for 34th.
Thoughts: With a few exceptions, the first basemen have been who we'd thought they'd be. Votto, as noted above, is one of those disappointing exceptions, as is Hosmer (.246) and probably the biggest one, Chris Davis (.265). ... Morneau has rejuvenated his career in Colorado (crazy how that works). ... Sad grouping of Texas first basemen at 50 and 51, with Moreland and Fielder kicking it down there.

Big Riser: I can't swear I buy it all the way, but Scooter Gennett hit .397/.447/.692 in June, bringing him from 31st among second basemen to 11th.
Big Faller: Hey, remember when Yangervis Solarte was the Yankee surprise we knew couldn't possibly last? It didn't last. He hit .303/.404/.461 in April, .296/.339/.469 in May, and .164/.282/.213 in June. He was 11th among second basemen a month ago; he's 24th now.
Thoughts: Altuve got a lot of pub for his hot June, and for good reason, but he was doing really well even before that. ... Even missing time for an appendectomy, Walker has been having a good year. ... The group at 19th and 20th -- Prado, Hill, and Zobrist -- have been disappointing. ... Man, how bad Gyorko has been. He's sub-Punto.

Big riser: It was looking like Adrian Beltre would be another dark spot for Texas in 2014, as he didn't even hit his first home run until May 6 and had a DL stint in that time. He was 18th among first basemen a month ago. Then he hit .392/.415/.598 with four homers in June, and now he's the No. 6 third baseman.
Big faller: The biggest drops in EFA from May to June were injured guys like Nolan Arenado and Trevor Plouffe. Hard to hold that against them.
Thoughts: I never saw this coming from Frazier, but it seems sustainable. ... This might be Wright's high-water mark the rest of the season, with his injury woes. ... Freese, Headley, Moustakas, and Zimmerman form a big-name group down low there; Zimmerman's struggles are partly injury-related, but still, all four are rough.

Big riser: No one really skyrocketed at shortstop, but Starlin Castro was at 11th after May, and jumped to a tie for sixth after June.
Big faller: Pardon the pun, but man, the wheels have come off of Everth Cabrera. He wasn't good through May (.251/.280/.348, 15th among shortstops), but June was an abject disaster, with a .133/.200/.144 slash line and only two steals, dropping him to a tie for 23rd.
Thoughts: There's a huge gap between the top two (Tulowitzki and Gordon) and everyone else. ... A lot of people said Simmons would take a step forward with the bat this year, buthe 's gone the other way. ... At least Hardy has a couple homers now.

Big riser: Andrew McCutchen wasn't having a bad season through the first two months -- he was at .298/.422/.439 at the end of May -- but he had a huge June, hitting .343/.410/.686 with eight home runs and five steals. He had been tied for 25th in the outfield; now he's seventh.
Big faller: As a Ranger fan, Alex Rios has been frustrating. I mentioned those caught stealings; he's also grounded into 16 double plays. And after sitting at 14th among outfielders a month ago, a rough June -- .261/.293/.337, no homers -- has him at 29th.
Thoughts: I don't guess Blackmon is going anywhere. ... Billy Hamilton has met every bit of his hype, and I just realized he probably should have been my "big riser." ... Holliday has been a big disappointment. ... You can freely drop Domonic Brown at this point.
Overall
