New York Yankees v Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim

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.

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.

Summary

Bad. Okay, we all know that. The Angels scored only 17 runs all week - 2nd from last in all of baseball (Brewers scored on 13) and they only scored 3 or fewer runs in 5 of their 6 games. They also only had 35 hits over those 6 games. It was just plain ugly as evidenced by the rankings below and the fact that a minor league player is ranked #4.

Not on this list:

Nolan Fontana, AAA DL

Changes:

None
* Player is not on the active 25-man roster
