Football season is over, which means it’s finally baseball prep and rankings season. With most of the big names off the board and teams’ lineups/rotations coming into focus, things have changed quite a bit since the initial rankings here back in December. Steamer projections have been out for quite some time, and ZiPS projections are slowly rolling out over at Fangraphs. For now, these are based upon a combo of Steamer, xStats, and my own adjustments. Read, ponder, and hit me up with any comments! Meanwhile, the 2017 Big Board is nearly up and running, so stay tuned for updates on that front.

Harper Wallbanger’s rankings are generated using the 2017 Big Board player value calculator. Below we have a Top-300 based on the following lineup construction:

5×5 12-team (C, 1B, 2B, SS, 3B, MI, CI, 5 OF, UTIL, 9 P, 3 BN)

You’ll also find a tab for Keeper rankings, based on the Big Board aging curves feature, which ranks players based on a 5-year timespan, with later seasons weighted progressively smaller. Access each version of the rankings using the tabs at the bottom, or click here for a slightly prettier version.
