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
The bullpen carried the team as far as pitching last week with their 2.08 ERA but they walked 10 over 23 innings. Starters were a mess and put up a 9.55 ERA. Aside from Felix Pena who allowed 2 runs in 5.1 innings and perhaps Jaime Barria with 3 runs over 6 innings, everyone had a pretty rough outing - especially Skaggs and McGuire. Starters allowed 33 hits and 13 walks over 25.2 innings.
