Angels Week 9 Rankings - Position Players

I’ll cover the entire 40 man roster and will split it between position players and pitchers (generally 20 or so guys on each list). Each week the list will change based on the past week’s performance - but also taking into account their performance year to date.

Summary

The first post-Trout week didn’t look that great as the team dropped 4 out of 7 and scored only 39 total runs in 7 games. However, Pujols, Calhoun, and Simmons all stepped up with multiple homers and combined for 8 total. Espinosa, Young, and Valbuena even got in on the action and had one each. The Angels also had a .260 team batting average over the past week which is better than than their team season average of .239.

These rankings were compiled with the help of MLB stats, FanGraphs, misc. data, personal opinion, scribblings on Cam Bedrosian’s Five Guys wrappers, and some fairy dust I found hidden in Matt Shoemaker’s beard.
