Player Values
Projecting the 2027 season
Three numbers per player. The Grade is a 20 to 80 projection of true talent for a full season at his position, built from skill measurements (swing decisions, contact quality, bat speed, pitch characteristics, range, speed) and a shrunk outcome record, with weights fitted to predict a player's own next season. Trade value prices that projection over his remaining control years at the market rate for a win and subtracts what he is owed. Impact is what he actually produced this season. Every number opens to show what went into it.
Top 40 of 91 C, 56 graded. Best sorts by Grade, what the Dodgers want. Bargain sorts by Trade value, the gap between what a player will produce over his control years and what he is owed. Click a row for the card.
