The aggregate ranking is a compilation of rankings provided by Matthew Berry, Tristan H. Cockcroft, Jason Grey, Christopher Harris, Eric Karabell and AJ Mass. These rankings represent expected production only and do not account for past production. Each anaylst was asked to submit their top 250 for the ESPN standard game; 10-team leagues with 5x5 scoring, 22-man active roster (C, 1B, 3B, CI, 2B, SS, MI, UT, 5 OF, 9 P) and a 3-man bench. Players that weren't ranked were assigned a value of 260. The highest and lowest ranking for each player were thrown out with the final ranking determined by the average score of the other four rankings provided.
