Using my valuation method, there were only eight position players who contributed a positive value in all five standard roto categories last year. They were:
Alex Rodriguez
David Wright
Jimmy Rollins
Brandon Phillips
Ryan Braun
Nick Markakis
Torii Hunter
Alex Rios
Here are the numbers you have to get to have positive value in every category:
86 R, 21 HR, 83 RBI, 12 SB, .284 BA
- It's pretty impressive that Ryan Braun was able to accumulate enough stats to make a positive contribution in every category considering he only played in 113 games. What the hell is this guy going to be able to accomplish in a full season?
- A lot of these guys are young. That's no coincidence as young players tend to steal more bases.
- I wouldn't be shocked to see Phillips and Hunter fall off this list in 2008 due to batting average issues. The others all stand a decent chance of contributing across the board again.
