These are the players who have the biggest difference between their O-Rank and actual rankings, and it begs the question, how long are we willing to wait for a superstar to play to their expected performance, or should we just cut ties with them now.
Berkman 16 - 134 Travis
Ryan Howard 24 -187 Jeff
Vernon Wells 29 - 192 Jeff
A. Jones 37 -125 Jeff
G. Atkins 65 - 651 FA
Roy Oswalt 31 - 210 Jeff
King Felix 44 - 627 Travis
Matt Cain 62 - 620 Justin
Zambrano 87 - 890...ouch Aaron
On the flip side, biggest surprises
E.Byrnes 171 - 23 Jeff
BJ Upton 187 - 25 Jeff
Brandon Phillips 145 - 27 Josh
Youk 281 -33 Jeff
Ugla 107 -37 Jeff
Posada 173 -38 Aaron
M.Lowell 237 -39 Aaron
J.Shields 273-8 Josh
Brad Penny 301 - 64 Jeff
O.Perez 289-81 Aaron
Conclusions:
There are a few ways to look at this: Perhaps Jeff and Travis teams aren't as bad as the are playing right now and their star players will rebound. Aaron and Bryans teams aren't as good as they are and they will come back to normal.
Personally what I think is Travis and Jeff's teams will be rebound and do better. But I do think some of Aaron, Josh, and Brian's team will regress to the mean a bit. But I also think they should be rewarded for exploiting the free agent market so well.
I also hate how not volatile my team is, the are playing just like a middle of the standings team.
O well, hope you enjoi your weekly sabermetric post from me.

I dont have zambrano...never have..so ouch someone else
Ouch on me, except that my team is bound to rebound and do well later, so I'm just biding my time. Or something.
hey trav, u have time to respond to the bloog, but you leave 2 guys on the dl on your roster this week? i'm kicking your ass this week for not bringing it. this is your only warning. the next step is expulsion for 2008. now i'm gonna go work on a berkman trade
oh, i think there might be some euro hockey highlights on the finnish channel.
Sorry I apparently don't know people's team name. But i thought the post was a cool idea.
