Rotographs Positional Rankings

We got five esteemed rankers to put together their positional rankings for the upcoming 2015 season including Jeff Zimmerman, Dan Schwartz, Zach Sanders, Mike Podhorzer, and myself (click a ranker’s name to reach them on Twitter). You can download the spreadsheet here. Stay tuned for updates. The last update will always be noted at the bottom of this post.

At the backend, I cut off the lists where it started to be just one person ranking a guy so we ended up with:

  • 200 SP
  • 90 RP
  • 60 C
  • 60 1B/UT
  • 40 2B
  • 45 SS
  • 50 3B
  • 150 OF

Here is the top 10 at each position for a little taste:
