2007 Fans’ Scouting Report - Results

By Tangotiger, 09:47 AM

Here you go.  Ichiro is #1, once again. My goto guy is always Derek Jeter, as I’m interested in his comps.  You will note one common name from last year is Michael Young.  Both of these overrated players finally took a tumble among the Fans, so that they are now considered, officially, as below average fielding shortstops by their respective fanbases.  It took a while, but the fans finally took notice.  Troy Tulowitzki is the find of the year, this year.  Of course, now that he’s in the playoffs, the surprise is gone.  But, it definitely gives his UZR and other PBP stats much greater weight.  Other big finds are Felix Pie and Shane Victorino. And every year, Manny always comes out smelling the same.

(Tech note: you can change the URL from “2007” to “2006” to flip between years.)
