Neyer: best RF's

can anyone explain his rating system

There are so many talented young right fielders that I fear getting lost in all of them. Remember, though, we're looking for the best right fielders over the entire next five seasons (which I mention with apologies to Magglio Ordonez's many fans). In the table below, the listed ages are seasonal 2008 and the next three columns are all from 2007 (and the last column, I'll get to in a moment):

  2. Brad Hawpe     29     .387     .539     129     3.0
  3. Nick Swisher     27     .381     .455     127     6.0
