re: MLB Top 10 players right now

Todd Frazier has had a full season OPS over .800 ONCE in his career (.807 in 2015). This is while playing in some pretty good parks for hitting in Cincy and Chicago.
Both of Arenado's full seasons he's posted a road OPS of over .830.
So we aren't taking much of a difference, are we.
Frazier with an elite glove is a top 30 player, not a top 10 player. A player with those road splits cannot be a top 10 player, regardlsss of how many excuses yall have for him . Pour soul has to hit in coors and adjust on the road; oh the horror!!

Don't know how you can argue with the list. It's based on statistics and data done by sabermetrics.

If Arenado was a free agent this winter he would easily get 250 million. He's a flat out star.

Everything in baseball is arguable, bubba

He prob would command that. We do know one thing, he is worth more in Coors. 81 other games out of the year he's not close to being the same guy

If you switch Altuve and Trout straight up before the beginning of last season then the Astros make the playoffs.
I guarantee it.

I mean, it's 62 points of OPS when we compare Arenado's road splits to Frazier's overall splits. This is with Frazier playing in a hitter's park. That's pretty significant.

If you want to ignore the difference in pitch movement in Coors vs a regular park, then be my guest. Seems like it directly contradicts your reasoning for him raking at Coors, though.

Arenado's 2016 road OPS was .832, not the .762 you posted back on page 1.
He is also trending up in virtually everything.

The beauty of baseball... none of these lists are wrong.
Well... except for the guy that says Altuve should be ranked higher than Trout. Other than that -- everybody's list is holds validity.

I'm not contradicting anything. But listen to what you are saying. You want to give him a pass cause he has to adjust when he goes on the road in parks that the rest of the league plays in nightly. That isn't a top 10 player, I'm sorry
That's like me being a beast on a 8' basketball hoop, but when I play regulation 10', I'm just not as good. Then going back and making the excuse that I can't adjust to the 10' because 8' is just what I'm used to

He was worth 6.5 bWAR last year which accounts for Park Factors and such. That alone makes him a top 10 player. He's probably the best defensive third baseman in the entire game

I would humbly suggest that any list of the top 10 players that omits the reigning NL MVP is wrong.

As rookies last year go, I knew Sanchez would be on the list but I was surprised to see Trea Turner on there at 45 after only a half-season. Can't wait to see what he does in a full year. My favorite guy right now.
