MLB Trade Value - Grantland

[asujbl]

Anyone else read them? I love the Basketball version (Football is just OK since there are never any trades)

Thoughts?

And only thoughts from people that understand the concept. Someone that says "Why isn't Kershaw #1?" clearly doesn't follow what they are trying to do.

Sorry if I missed this elsewhere. Nuke if I did.

I like these types of article in general. Dave Cameron does a similar, annual piece on FanGraphs.

Lucroy should be #1!!

"Six catchers cracked this year’s top 50, which speaks to teams’ growing recognition of a top backstop’s value and their understanding that a good, two-way receiver who pops 10 to 15 homers can be as valuable as a slugging first baseman who cranks 35 to 40 … and considerably cheaper."

Lucroy should have been top-five.
