The TVI ranks every player on the current 40-man roster and the top prospects
in the organization. Our goal is to determine which players in the
organization are the most valuable to the team. Ultimately, when looking at
the rankings, the question should be, if the Rays could only keep one of two
players (A or B) from the organization, which player would the front office
choose to keep. If the answer is player A, he would be ranked ahead of player
B. The rankings consider a number factors in addition to talent and good looks, such as potential, age, contract and depth of position in organization. This last factor comes into effect if one player is stuck behind another player with more ability. For example, Fernando Perez would be a little higher due to his exceptional speed and strong OBP, but loses a little value because he has bad hair, and some more value because the team has Rocco Baldelli, Carl Crawford, BJ Upton, Elijah Duke and Delmon Young ahead of him on the depth chart for outfielders. Another factor is team needs. A pitcher may be ranked ahead of a more "talented" fielder because the team has a stronger need for pitching at the major league level. |
