Elias Ranking Projections Update
Eddie Bajek of Detroit Tigers Thoughts has reverse-engineered the Elias Rankings, and he's providing his projections exclusively here at MLB Trade Rumors.
We've cleaned up a few errors since last time; the following players changed types: Yorvit Torrealba from no type to B, Brian Schneider from B to no type, Brian Giles from A to B, Reed Johnson from B to no type, Gary Sheffield from B to no type, Fernando Tatis from no type to B, Mark DeRosa from A to B, and Pedro Feliz from B to no type.
There is still a chance we dig up an error involving DL days, but as of right now here are the rankings.

How did guys move up and down between October 5th and October 11th?
Posted by: Jason | October 11, 2009 at 01:03 PM
Because there were some quirky things in Excel that threw things off. The ones posted Wednesday were tentative rankings, pending a thorough double check. That double check uncovered some problems that have since been addressed.

ebajek85 !#@$%@&*!!!
Yet another punch in the gut for Cards fans... In all seriousness though, thanks for doing this.

Don't talk to me, a Tigers fan, about punches in the gut. Especially since I'm still reeling from the one the Cards gave us in '06.

Whew! Glad to see Brian Giles drop to Type B. I didn't wanna give up a first round pick to sign him!
Bring Polly back!
Nice work as always, Eddie!

And Giles would then become the latest in the long list of washed up left handed hitters to stink it up getting undeserved playing time from the Tigers.

Eddie - if you could please adjust the numbers so that Figgins is a type A I would greatly appreciate it :)

nervous bj?
I don't think Padilla has a 2010 club option anymore does he?

I'm going to sound like a dick even though I don't mean to, but how reliable are these rankings if Pierzinski and Suzuki are ranked ahead of Martinez....??

I'd say the ratings are reliable. It is the criteria tat is not.

Geovany Soto a Type A? Really?
Posted by: letsgotheriot | October 11, 2009 at 11:50 PM
If you look at Soto's numbers the last 2 years then look at anyone below him it makes sense. He's right up there with everyone else in most categories. He's pretty good at spreading decent numbers through each category rather than excelling at one particular area. I believe there's an adjustment for time missed due to injury as well.

Okay, I love Ryan Theriot, but, seriously, Type A? And Mark DeRosa is a Type B? Something's not quite right there.
