DVR's Top 350: June Update

DVR's Top 350: June Update

Written by

Updated on June 1, 2016 12:16PM EST

This is the June update to my overall Top 350 rankings.

A few quick notes about this list.

1. There is a positional sorting option available on the Composite Rankings page. (Please Note: The Composite Rankings page will have multiple editors and writers submit a set of rankings midseason, around July 1.)

2. This list is based on value for the rest of the season, assuming a 15-team mixed league (NFBC style).

3. Full updates of this list will be published on or before the first Wednesday of the month during the regular season. Minor updates will be made as players are promoted, demoted, injured, etc. -- those changes will be viewable as soon as I make them on the Composite Rankings page (linked above).

4. Injured players with a vague diagnosis (ex. Tyson Ross - shoulder) are ranked erring on the side of caution.

5. Most pitching prospects are still ranked to account for uncertainty regarding the timing of their callup, and the potential for significantly limited workloads. Even with that, useful arms such as Jameson Taillon and Tyler Glasnow fall short of making the cut right now.

6. Further commentary about the biggest risers and fallers, along with any necessary extended analysis will be incorporated into the next Wheelhouse column.

Enjoy!
