19. Evan Longoria (2.0 off, 0 pos, .5 field) — Not only is he this good already, but his bat has a lot of room to grow. One reason I really like making these lists is to see guys like Longoria (unproven young players with all-around games) fall next to guys like Berkman (gritty veterans with big bats and MVP campaigns). Do you think Ed Wade would trade Berkman for Longoria? No way, although he probably should, especially considering Longoria’s contract.
Sky's take on the top 25 position players as of right now. Two Rays make appearances, guess who the other one is.

That list is garbage.
It’s just an opinion fest. You can throw that out the window.

actually, there's a whole hell of a lot of thought behind it
i didn’t use a scientific algorithm to average and regress past performance, but the offensive and fielding ratings come from linear weights and UZR. and the position adjustments come from Tom Tango, who knows his shit.
i’m happy to discuss any rating with you, here or at my blog, as long as you bring an open mind and some logic/data to the party.
