All The Positional Power Rankings Thus Far

This morning, we wrapped up our look at the guys who play the field in our Positional Power Rankings series; we’ll be tackling the pitching staffs next week. But for those of you interested in playing catchup or going back over the posts, I’ve collected them all in one handy place here; you’ll still always be able to reference all of the posts in the category, but I figured I’d make them a little bit easier to find here.

4. Custom player page dashboards! Choose the player cards you want, in the order you want them.
5. One-click data exports! Export our projections and leaderboards for your personal projects.

It looks like the shortstop graph is incorrect, unless I missed a Tulo to Arizona and Detroit trade.

You’ve got the wrong SS graph on the screen (at least the results are different). You had St. Louis and Colorado in the top 5 in the actual post, and both are bottom 10 in this.

As and Atlanta fan, these graphs depressed the hell out of me. Its going to take a lot of alcohol to get through the next couple of seasons.

Hey, you’ve got Freeman, Simmons, Kimbrel, Wood, Minor, Miller…some decent-to-excellent players amidst a wasteland of not-excellence.

Don’t forget Julio, he’s only the Ace of the staff…Minor is gone as soon as he shows anything with health.

Time to change your allegiance to the Philadelphia Phillies!

Just start rooting for the Nats instead. Former beloved Brave Dan Uggla is still in camp with the Nationals, so that’s as good a reason as any.

(Sorry.)

Well, I suppose it could be worse.

I have no idea how, but I’m sure it could be.

I’ll love you forever if you make the scale fixed across the graphs.
