[外電] Phat Albert: Pujols gets rare perfect score in rankings
http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=2645182
NEW YORK -- Four days after earning a World Series ring, Albert Pujols became
only the sixth player to get a perfect 100 score in the annual player
rankings.
The St. Louis Cardinals first baseman finished first at his position in plate
appearances, batting average, on-base percentage, home runs and RBI over the
2005 and 2006 seasons, according to rankings released Tuesday by the Elias
Sports Bureau.
Since the rankings were created in the settlement of the 1981 strike, the
only previous players to get perfect scores were New York Yankees first
baseman Don Mattingly (1987), Baltimore Orioles shortstop Cal Ripken Jr.
(1991), Chicago White Sox first baseman Frank Thomas (1995), Houston first
baseman Jeff Bagwell (1995) and Boston designated hitter Manny Ramirez (2002).
Pujols was the top NL first baseman for the third straight year after
finishing among the top three outfielders in 2003. Catcher Michael Barrett
and reliever Billy Wagner also repeated.
Chase Utley replaced Mark Loretta at second, and Miguel Cabrera took over
from Aramis Ramirez at third. Cabrera was among the top three outfielders in
2003.
Rafael Furcal replaced Jimmy Rollins at shortstop, Chris Carpenter was the
starting pitcher in place of Roy Oswalt and Jason Bay, Matt Holliday and
Moises Alou were the top three outfielders, replacing Cabrera, Lance Berkman
and Bobby Abreu.
In the AL, starting pitcher Johan Santana, reliever Mariano Rivera, catcher
Victor Martinez and designated hitter Travis Hafner repeated. Alex Rodriguez
was the top third baseman for the second straight year after leading
shortstops for six straight seasons.
Paul Konerko replaced Mark Teixeira at first base, Brian Roberts took over
from Placido Polanco at second, and Michael Young followed Derek Jeter at
shortstop.
Ramirez was among the top three outfielders for the 10th time in 11 years,
and Vladimir Guerrero repeated. Abreu, acquired by the Yankees in July,
replaced teammate Hideki Matsui.
Rankings are used to decide whether players are Type A or B free agents, and
what draft picks their former teams get as compensation if they sign
elsewhere. The top 30 percent in each group get an A ranking, and the next 20
percent a B ranking.
Compensation from Type C players -- the group between 50 and 60 percent --
was eliminated in baseball's new labor contract. Clubs that sign Type B
players won't give up any draft picks, but their former clubs will receive
"sandwich" picks between rounds.
