The Top 500 Dynasty League Players – July 2016 Update

·
0 1.7k 3

Let’s start by stating the obvious. There’s a lot of young talent in the majors. The top of this list is littered with recent top prospects and players who are poised to be fantasy stars for the better part of the next decade. We’ve seen the emergence of Xander Bogaerts, Corey Seager, Gregory Polanco, and many more. We saw the early arrival of Nomar Mazara, one of the few high-impact prospects who was set to show us what he could do in 2016 (and boy has he).

The flip side of this is that not everything can be on the rise. This isn’t one of Barney Stinson’s mix tapes. The landscape of the minor leagues is very bleak right now compared to what we’ve been accustomed to over the last five years, and it’s going to cause some value displacement. In fact, as opposed to previous years where there have been multiple prospects in the top 50 or 60 of this list, the sole minor leaguer to crack the top 70 on this list is future superhuman Yoan Moncada. And the next wave of prospects behind him include a few teenagers who have only played in A ball. So minor league investment is questionable—especially with a relatively poor incoming draft class. Speaking of them, this list came out much later than I anticipated, so I included 2016 draftees as an early birthday present.

By now you know the drill with the background and disclaimers. Blah blah, 14-16 team mixed leagues, blah blah, this is a fantasy list, blah blah, keep forever with farm system, blah blah, one catcher, blah blah, park/team factors included. I don’t need to repeat myself. You also know that donations are very much appreciated and can be made here (or at the top-right corner of the site). But you didn’t come here for the intro, you came here for the camaraderie and the exquisite web design.

Oh, and the list. Your brand new #Dynasty500 awaits:

      Probably around 520 or 530. Not someone I’d be counting on.

        What about Aaron Sanchez?

        • The Dynasty Guru
          July 1, 2016 at 1:51 pm

          Sanchez would be at 253.

            WOW. Not sure how many other people would value Sean Newcomb over Aaron Sanchez…..

          • Kevin
            August 12, 2016 at 7:52 am

            Agreed. He dominated all year in a tough division. Should have a great year ahead next year.

      Not sure what happened to him between the excel file and the list but he was (and should be) at #145 just in front of Taillon.

    July 1, 2016 at 12:30 pm

    Posey 29? Hes gonna lose C in the next year or two, and C tend not to age well anyway. Feels high to me now? Love the ranks in general though.

  7. Jeffrey

    Low on Piscotty. Any reason why?

    • The Dynasty Guru
      July 1, 2016 at 1:54 pm

      Doesn’t really feel low on him. He kept sliding up the list and could find himself in the top 100 by the end of the year if he can either raise his power profile a bit or raise his contact profile a bit. Right now he’s kind of caught in between.

  8. Joespeh Tajuan

    Frankie Montas?

    • The Dynasty Guru
      July 1, 2016 at 1:55 pm

      He’s a reliever. And I’d rank 5-10 relievers that didn’t make this list ahead of him.

    It looks like you overlooked Aaron Sanchez.

    How did Salazar drop while Carlos Martinez made a decent sized jump? Salazar is having a really great season striking out a ton of guys. CMart also pitching well of late but not striking out as many, seemingly trying to be more of a ground ball pitcher.

    Gattis is C eligible in 2017 too for Yahoo. Is this rank taking that into account? Thank you

    I’m going to have to question putting Randal Grichuk (STL) one spot ahead of Travis Shaw (BOS). Shaw has been a nice surprise while Grichuk has been a disappointment. Shaw is playing everyday in Boston while Grichuk is playing everyday in Triple-A Memphis. I would say their career paths are headed in opposite directions and I don’t really see that changing. The Cardinals are just figuring out what the Angles dumped on them. The Red Sox are just figuring out they got a steal in the 9th round. Do you disagree?

    And, for the record, I think your rankings overall are generally excellent. Just had to give you a hard time about Grichuk/Shaw. That seemed to jump out at me for some reason. Peace.

    • Andrew
      July 2, 2016 at 8:15 am

      I think there’s a little more potential I’m Grichuk’s bat. Maybe it’s because I was a big Grichuk believer before the season. Yes he’s been awful this year, and he may never figure it out. But if he does he’s got 35+ hr power in CF.

      • matthewvroberson
        July 13, 2016 at 4:51 pm

        Fair enough. I think you make a very good point on the power potential. Grichuk does have that going for him for sure.

    I have both Grandal and Wilson Ramos, but will probably only keep 1 (we start 2 C, can only keep 15 overall at the end of the season not counting rookies). Should I sell high on Ramos and keep Grandal?

  21. Chris
    July 4, 2016 at 5:50 pm

    Even with Grandal’s slow start and Wilson Ramos’s hot start, you rank Grandal higher? I have both, but will probably only keep 1 of them (We start 2 C, but keep only 15 at the end of the year, minus rookies). I am getting offers from the top contenders for Ramos. Should I sell high on him and keep Grandal?

    I’m shocked at Salazar losing slots with the half year he’s had, what’s the reasoning behind having him behind a guy like Felix who’s clearly on the decline?

    I’m shocked by the Salazar ranking. I don’t understand his losing places in the list after the half year he’s had. What’s the reasoning having him behind a guy like Felix who’s clearly in decline?

    You think guys like Castellanos and Jake Lamb have a good chance to really move up this list the next time out? Both young and seem to be breaking out.

  26. RURAHRAH
    July 5, 2016 at 10:37 am

    Not all in on the Castellanos and Jake Lamb breakouts?

  27. Ben
    July 5, 2016 at 2:05 pm

    I think it should be noted how the values might fluctuate given your league rules. I’m in two 20 team H2H dynasty leagues. In the first, we only start 9 hitters, one at each position and util….in the other we also have MI, CI, and 2x OF….the difference in player evaluation between the two leagues is ENORMOUS. In the former, mid-level hitters see a huge dropoff in value, as they simply amount to extra bench bats. This in turn creates a premium in the pitching market as contending teams try to cash in their mid-level hitters for SP’s. While in the latter league, bats are so scarce that it seems you can’t even give pitching away.

    So, point is, take these rankings with a grain of salt and apply to your league as necessary.

    Thanks. Love the lists! Not many sites give the in-season updates, so it’s always great to have.
    Any reason why you have Michael Fulmer so low? He’s been tearing up Major League hitters pretty consistently this summer.

  29. Davin
    July 5, 2016 at 4:43 pm

    Love the site, the updates, and all the info team Dynasty Guru.

    Would love to see a follow-up post or two discussing some hot debates that happened on how to rank some of the guys.

    Some things that caught my eye:
    -K Wong at 173, when he may or may not be an everyday/platoon player going forward – yet still could be a guy who hits 15/25 in his prime.
    -Factor of hitters/pitchers in Colorado long term, and would say an impending FA there see his value jump in either direction due to that?
    – I always find it interesting about guys at the tail end of their career and their dynasty value. Some players we KNOW are going to retire like Big Papi and ARod, while others like Pujols, Wainwright, etc are in the final phase and will likely decline each coming year. example – Fielder 208 vs Jake Lamb 219.

    Again, love the info, love the site. Keep up the great work guys.

    wow you really don’t like Hendricks huh? i was thinking about acquiring him from another team, but this list has me hesitating.. any reason he’s below the likes of Dilson Herrera? Would love your insight.

    I guess I do not understand why Byron Buxton is basically a tie with A.J. Pollock. Pollock at least has shown his ability in one season. Given the risk factor, why wouldn’t Buxton be lower? Isn’t good-Pollock more or less a ceiling on Buxton at this point?

  33. Matt
    July 8, 2016 at 7:29 pm

    I understand that Luke Weaver has only made 7 starts while pitching 43 innings at AA, but it is kind of hard to ignore a guy with a K/9 over 10 and a FIP under 2.00. I would be interested as to the reasoning as to why he is not on the list. Obviously Weaver does not have the same “pedigree” as some of the other arms on this list but I don’t think it is unreasonable to see him in the first half of 2017. Anyways, I always appreciate the work that you guys do on the site. The content/insight is truly second to none.
