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.

All Star Game MVP. Another home run. *snooze*. Wake me when he hits 5 home runs in one game. Slacker. |

1-for-14 his last three games. But no one impressed enough to take over the 2 spot. |

6-for-15 this past weekend. Howie was reliable to say the least! |

Calhoun had a decent weekend. Nothing too bad & nothing too good. |

This first time all star has been having a great season. Let’s hope he gets back to playing health soon! |

Freese has been doing amazing things with his bat lately. |

Hamilton started great then screwed up his thumb. Then he came back and started great again. Now he’s clinging to the #7 spot. |

Vacancy. Inquire within. |

Navarro has done pretty well in the bigs and is doing well in SLC this year. He could move higher if he stands out more. |

 Grant Green |

My comments for Green I could almost cut and paste from Navarro. Green can play just about anywhere but his playing time on the active roster will likely be limited. |

 Chris Iannetta |

The best catcher on the roster (though there are only 3 of them on the 40 man). Iannetta is having a good season. |

Poor Cron. He got bumped from the active roster. Kind of a surprise to many. I’m sure he’ll be back eventually. |

King Conger is great. He’s fun. He has a sense of humor and might like long walks on the beach. He’s an excellent pitch framer but his hitting has been pretty lack luster. |

This kid is doing great in AAA. His 13 at bats for the Angels leave something to be desire though. |

Just came from Arizona and is doing okay in AAA. |

I really wanted to put Shuck higher. In fact, he’s not lower because there are some pretty crappy players below him. That’s about all I can say. |

 Luis Jimenez, SLC |

They say he has potential and he has 15 home runs in AAA this year. Let’s see what he can do. |

Batted .429 in 14 at bats with the Angels and currently playing well in SLC but had a rough past week. |

I’d put McDonald lower if there was room to move down further. He continues to un-impress. |
Updates to List:
Ian Stewart was removed from the 40 man roster
Collin Cowgill was placed on the DL to learn how to bunt
Notes:
There are only 18 position players in the rankings this week. I’ve left the total to 20 so some people don’t arbitrarily move up. Some spots will be vacant.
