I just came across a three part series over at The Baseball Analysts authored by Rich Lederer. In these three posts he’s going to rank 75 players under the age of 25, but he’s doing it with a twist. He’s going to break them down by age. Furthermore, the methodology for his rankings are truly interesting.
The rankings are heavily weighted toward stats, age vs. level of play, and position. Tools and upside also played a part, as did opinions by Baseball America, Keith Law, and Kevin Goldstein, especially among younger prospects. Ultimately, the rankings are based on a discounted present value of the future returns (like they do in the financial world) of each player’s career. The closer the expected returns, the higher the value.
Anyone who plays in a keeper league should read these three posts (Only two of them have been published, so far)
