The purpose of this list is to provide a snapshot of the player in context. The “Ranking” is an organizing principle that’s drawn from Baseball Reference’s WAR (rWAR). It’s not something the staff debated. We’ll begin with the player with the least amount of rWAR and end up with the player with the most. 38, Jake McGee (-0.8 rWAR)The Colorado Rockies have twice paid a significant price for Jake McGee — once in a trade and once with a free agent deal. He has pitched three seasons for them. He has now been good for one of those seasons and kind of a disaster for the other two.Unfortunately McGee had the worst season of his career in 2018 after signing a three-year, $27 million deal to return to the Rockies last winter. The 31-year-old appeared in 61 games and posted a 6.49 ERA. He had a 73 ERA+ and saw his strikeout numbers dip down slightly to 8.2 K/9.The biggest difference between 2017 and 2018 for McGee was the long ball. In roughly the same number of appearances and innings, he went from surrendering just four home runs in 2017 to giving up a career-worst 10 this past season. The Rockies simply could not trust McGee as the end of the season approached. Like fellow big-ticket signing Bryan Shaw Anthony Rendon Jersey , McGee did not make the postseason roster.McGee has always been a unique case in that he is a lefty that does not specialize in getting left-handed hitters out. They actually hit him harder than right-handed batters in 2018, posting a .307/.395/.547 (155 OPS+) against him. When McGee is good, you can call it versatility that he is equally effective against right-handed and left-handed hitters. It makes him a guy you can put in any spot and even use as a fill-in closer. But when he is equally bad against both sides, or even worse against lefties as is McGee’s case, it makes the problem awfully glaring.McGee was a steady presence out of the bullpen back in 2017. I don’t imagine many people were upset that the Rockies re-signed him as one of their big moves last off-season. One year later, and we now have two seasons of bad McGee and just one season of good McGee. Maybe it’s an odd year thing. Maybe it’s just the volatility of relievers. Whatever the case, there will be pressure on McGee to bounce back again in 2019 in the second year of his contract. Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Yasiel Puig received a two-game suspension Daniel Murphy Jersey ,and San Francisco Giants catcher Nick Hundley was fined an undisclosed amountfor their respective roles in a benches-clearing brawl during Tuesday's game at Dodger Stadium, MLB.com'sDo-Hyoung Park reported Thursday.Puig got in Hundley's face in response to a comment he made after Puig expressed frustration about fouling off a pitch from Giants relief pitcher Tony Watson. After they exchanged more verbal jabs, the outfielder pushed the veteran backstop a few times."So I was a little upset, and [Hundley] told me to stop complaining, get back into the box. And when I got in his face, he told me to also get out of his face. So that's when I got upset," Puig said via a translator. "I didn't like that he was telling me what to do http://www.nationalsfanproshop.com/authentic-matt-adams-jersey , and then he said some words to me in English that I really can't repeat."MLB MLBBenches clear in Giants-Dodgers game with Nick Hundley and Yasiel Puig at the center of it. r3ZHHdzL3AHundley didn't add much context to explain the scuffle beyond saying it was part of the NL West rivals' battle for positioning in the playoff race."We're competing on the field against a team we're chasing. They've been scuffling a little bit and we're trying to catch them," he told reporters. "Obviously a nice rivalry. We had some words and pushed a couple times. There's really not more to it than that."Both players were ejected from the game. The Giants won the heated contest 2-1.Losing Puig is a big short-term loss for the Dodgers. Unless he appeals the suspension, he'll miss the first two games in a three-game series with the Seattle Mariners.Chris Taylor figures to receive the extra playing time in right field for Los Angeles with Matt Kemp starting in left.
