My personal take? He’s been an easy stay away since his call-up and nothing has changed since then. Others feel differently.

He would have been on this list about 4-6 months ago - shouldn’t be now ….

Elly being mentioned in the same thread as Ohtani, Trout, Acuna, Soto, Jude, etc. is hilarious.

So… lots of pre-call-up excitement… I guess speed + power combo was the hope??? But high K% and poor contact kind of ruined it, this year?

Evan Carter

jduds · 10-27-2023, 11:27 PM

I did a full 50 the last couple of weeks for an article.
50. Alex Bregman
49. Francisco Alvarez
48. Riley Greene
47. Triston Casas
46. J.T. Realmuto
45. Michael Hattis II
44. Jordan Walker
43. Luis Arraez
42. Ozzie Albies
41. Manny Machado
40. Zack Greinke
39. Max Fried
38. Carlos Correa
37. Vladimir Guerrero Jr.
36. Francisco Lindor
35. Trea Turner
34. Corey Seager
33. Jose Altuve
32. Gerrit Cole
31. Anthony Volpe
30. Kyle Tucker
29. Fernando Tatis Jr.
28. Austin Riley
27. Jose Ramirez
26. Nolan Arenado
25. Max Scherzer
24. Justin Verlander
23. Clayton Kershaw
22. Matt Olson
21. Paul Goldschmidt
20 Spencer Strider
19. Rafael Devers
18. Adley Rutschman
17. Luis Robert
16. Yordan Alvarez
15. Bo Bichette
14. Pete Alonso
13. Elly De La Cruz
12. Bobby Witt Jr.
11. Freddie Freeman
10. Gunnar Henderson
9. Corbin Carroll
8. Julio Rodriguez
7. Mookie Betts
6. Juan Soto
5. Bryce Harper
4. Ronald Acuna Jr.
3. Mike Trout
2. Aaron Judge
1. Shohei Ohtani

Figuring out number two was the hardest spot for me. I think I might swap Harper and J.Rod. I'm going to keep the list going for a while. Evan Carter is a big missing name, but I'm sure there are others.

He's 6'5", plays SS, has power and speed. He's the type the maybe can punch above his weight in the hobby (literally, since he is a toothpick), but he was even over priced a little as a prospect. Then he came out on fire and his price tripled. Since then he's cooled off and may even be down for the year. He's going to have to step up his game quite a bit to maintain his price level.

rwperu34 · 10-28-2023, 01:17 AM

If hobby demand equals price, Trout is still 4x Acuna, 5x Judge, and more than that vs everybody else except Ohtani.

If it's who is up the most this year, then you're talking Acuna and probably Corbin Carroll.

I'd say that list is pretty spot on, although I'd swap Trout and Judge.

Elly in the top 50 is questionable, Elly top 15 is laughable.

If you go by BCA price, then Elly is right where he belongs. The hobby loves him right now.

Then the hobby is stupid and needs a reality check.

I find it funny people are outraged that Elly is mentioned in the same breath as these other people when they question who is the top 5 relevant guys not who are the top 5 guys or who are good baseball players. The question literally is who are the top 5 hobby relevant guys?

I for one am not a huge Elly believer, I think he will make a couple of all star games If he hits his ceiling and will be a good major league player. I was just answering the question about who was a top 5 hobby relevant player right now.
