The following tables show Grey's preseason top 20 hitters and top 25 pitchers (top 20 starters) and their final rank according to ESPN. I also included the average draft position in both all ESPN leagues and the RCLs.





Major disappointments:

Hitters: Hanley, Wright, Zimmerman, A-Rod, and Crawford.
Pitchers: Liriano, Johnson, Jiminez, Oswalt.

Johnson, of course, was injured, so at least he wasn't putting up bad numbers.

Scherzer, Longoria and Holliday would also be considered disappointments, I think. Others fell short in certain categories, but still provided good value.

So it's about equal between hitters and pitchers when it comes to disappointments. Wouldn't say Holliday and Longoria were the biggest of disappointments either. They weren't Wright or Zimmerman, at least.

Liriano was beyond disappointment. Disappointment is drafting a #1 pitcher and getting a 4 ERA and 150 Ks.

Drafting Liriano is like choosing door #2 when door #1 had a million dollars and door #2 murders your children in front of your eyes.

Ha!
