Angels Power Rankings – Position Players – July 28th

Home / Angels / Angels Power Rankings – Position Players – July 28th

My ranking include the entire 40 man roster – not just the active 25 man.

These rankings were compiled with the help of MLB stats, FanGraphs, misc. data, personal opinion, and some fairy dust I found hidden in Shoemaker’s beard.

The top 3 players for the Angels this week were all youngsters with Navarro, Calhoun, and Cron sporting the top 3 averages for a team that had a mediocre offensive week.  The Angels only scored 19 runs in 7 games with 3 home runs.  Lackluster for such an offensive powerhouse of a team.  Fortunately, the pitchers were mostly on and the Angels ended the week 4-3.

Rank Player Last Week Change High Low Comments
1 navarroEfren Navarro 9 downarrow +8 1 11 Holy on fire.  Navarro has been tearing it up since coming back.  Best average on the team last week.  Game winning hits.  First big league home run.  Rockets to the top of the current power rankings.
2 calhounKole Calhoun  4 downarrow+2 2 4 Calhoun had a great week moves up just 2 spots because Navarro was awesome.
3 puljosAlbert Pujols 2 downarrow-1 2 2 Pujols has been playing great.  Just average last week though.
4 aybarErick Aybar 5 downarrow+1 3 5 Despite a mediocre average, Aybar displayed his usual defensive awesomeness this past week, had the #4 average on the team, and managed the teams ONLY stolen base that turned into a very important run.
5 kendrickHowie Kendrick  3 downarrow-2 3 5 Eh.  Kendrick did decent.  That’s about all.
6 troutMike Trout  1 downarrow-5 1 6 He is human after all.  Go back 5 spaces for putting up an average last week that makes Ibanez look good.  .154 with a home run. Ouch.
