Elias Rankings Update

By Tim Dierkes | July 7, 2010 at 10:47pm CDT

After the season the Elias Sports Bureau will take all players over the 2009-10 period, divide them into five groups for each league, and rank them based on various statistics.  Then each player will be labeled a Type A, B, or none.  Those designations and the possible accompanying arbitration offers determine draft pick compensation (click here for a refresher).

Eddie Bajek has reverse-engineered the Elias rankings, and he's providing that information exclusively at MLB Trade Rumors.  Here's a look at how the players rank for the period beginning with the 2009 season running through July 6th, 2010.  The Google spreadsheet below has separate tabs for each position group.  The players have about three more months to change these rankings.  You can also go directly to the Google spreadsheet here and download the rankings in Excel here.

    Elias’ criteria is so ridiculous. How can Jose Bautista not even be a type B?

      because the criteria isn’t based on one season alone…and this is Bautista’s only really good year

      It is ridiculous, Jose Bautista notwithstanding.

      How about incorporating defense, not looking at Batting Average, Saves, Wins, etc…?

      ELIAS rankings are absurdly stupid.

    I like how Infante isn’t even a, “B.” He ranks behind SKIP SCHUMAKER! Seriously, how is he an All-Star?

      He is hitting .300 and plays about 5 different positions… the NL could do worse.

      It doesn’t matter, we have a club option, so we either buy him out or exercise the option (I’m sure we’ll exercise the option at this point). No comp either way. Same situation with Gregg.

    where do they determine the cutoff between A, B and no compensation?

    Kendry Morales a B? Justin Morneau a B? These guys are run producers as good as anyone in the league. I could go on and on about this QA stuff but whats the point…

      Morales isn’t even playing. The rankings come from 2010 and 2009, so the longer Morales doesn’t play, the further he falls.

    ryan howard is behind ALL THEM PEOPLE????? The Criteria mus be one sided or distorted. If you lead the league in rbis and home runs and score a hundred and thirty runs a year you should be worth more than someone who does half that
