No Morales, HF?
--What research are you using that leads you to 24 for a pitcher's peak? Your own? I've always either seen 25 or 26. Not doubting... just interested to check it out (if publicly available).
--Re: Weathers... I understand the argument from a statistical perspective. Though I wouldn't forget the potential effect of leverage (even if it is only a few runs). And when you consider he was pitching in the SEC 13 months ago, and wasn't pitching period a year before that, I guess I'm just a little more impressed than I would be absent that context.
--One of the reasons I disagree with your Nelson ranking; he's now considered, at best, a borderline defensive SS. I know your system isn't considering that sort of info.
--I don't understand how it could possibly have Chacin ahead of Rodriguez right now, especially by such a margin. Aneury's BABIP last year hurting him really bad, maybe? What weighting are you using (always tricky with Minor Leaguers)?
Oh, and Wolf: of course Spilly is first in line if Hawpe or Tavares are dealt. I meant more that they can step into Spilly's role (platoon/4th OF) rather than superceed him. Sorry I didn't make that clear.
