We do it every month. We finally realized we could just name it this.
For each league, a full active roster (expanding to 28-man as rosters expand) of the best players by season-to-date fWAR, using FanGraphs’s position designations.
Some notes:
- Jacob deGrom’s still on here. So is Ronald Acuña Jr.
- Kevin Gausman’s the most productive player left off (4.1 fWAR entering tonight’s start)
- Willy Adames really changed the Brewers’ season.
