It's The Bigs Blog #4 - Way Too Early Shortstop Rankings

Shortstop is incredibly deep this year and only getting deeper as we see names like O'Neill Cruz, Gunnar Henderson and Bryson Stott make the list this year.  I won't be covering any of them here as they didn't reach the top 15, which is indicative of exactly how deep this position will be in 2023.  You can certainly wait on SS this year if you'd like, but it dries up very quickly from the top of the position after about 12.  You'll see what I mean. Honorable Mentions:  Jeremy Pena, Jorge Polanco, Trevor Story, Amed Rosario.  One sentence on each: Pena was the ALCS and World Series MVP in his rookie season and that helium better not come across in draft value in 2023 as we saw an extended slump of what could be his floor through the middle months.  Polanco loses 2B eligibility (presumably) after this season as he'll shift back to SS but the lineup doesn't look nearly as potent without Correa.  Story was highlighted in the 2B rankings more thoroughly....

It's The Bigs Blog #6 - Early Outfield Tiers

 Rather than jump in and rank the top 40 or so outfielders with in-depth breakdowns in the beginning of December when so many are in flux, I decided to simply release my "tiers" at this point.  These are in no particular order within the tiers and are in no way concrete at this time but serves more as a guide toward spring when I'll more clearly decide who I value within each tier.  Let's get into it. Tier 1 - The MVPs Aaron Judge, Mookie Betts, Juan Soto Draft these three in the first round with pride.  A "down" year from Soto still gave you a 400 OBP and he certainly never killed you in any week with counting stats.  Yes, it was disappointing, but I'm buying back in on Soto this year in San Diego.  Betts is the most underrated first round talent in baseball right now and could return to MVP form with a few more stolen bases.  His 2022 was incredible for a lead-off hitter of his caliber and I will be happy to reap the benefits of a 2B eligibility as w...

It's The Bigs Blog #5 - Way Too Early 3B Rankings

 Welcome to December and the winter meetings!  Justin Verlander just signed in Queens, Trea Turner just signed in Philly, Jacob deGrom signed in Texas and things are really heating up for 2023.  As these signings happen, I'll be reviewing these rankings I'm putting out and will update with 2.0 and 3.0 versions before draft season hits.  In the meanwhile, let's visit the hot corner as these blogs now line up with the numerical positioning of the infield.   Honorable Mentions:  Justin Turner, Yoan Moncada, DJ LeMahieu and JD Davis.  One sentence on each.  Justin Turner's health is always the question but he's a relaiable source of RBI and batting average that could come at a discount this year.  We'll always be chasing 2019 with Yoan Moncada but if we're going to see a resurgence, this has to be the season with Jose Abreu now out of that lineup.  DJL was covered at 2B, please refer there.  JD Davis might be one of those sneaky tr...
