Agreed on Ortiz, but
But yeah, it's clear that Elias is stuck in the stone age, and I'm sure they didn't consider this when they put Ortiz on top.

These rankings suck
In the NL, Brian Giles is ranked 18 and Prince Fielder is #22??
This ranking should tell you just how bad this is:
Ryan Braun #47. Jack Wilson #28.
