Jose Ramirez should in there for an honorable mention. No one talks about his decline this season. 

Good call. His season is actually a worse than Vlad's with the bat. Still great D though

When i started the article that was what I was looking for, where Bichette was going to be ranked. Like, i knew Vlad, Raleigh and Tucker would be in there near the top in some order, but I though Bichette would easily crack the top 10. 

I don't even know if Raleigh is the correct choice for #1, he's still popped more than 20 HRs even though his overall production is way down. Plus, he doesn't have the mega-contract against him like Vlad and Tucker do. 

9.1 to 1.9 fWAR 

3.9 to 1.2 fWAR

Yes but he's 33

Hard for me to consider anyone in their 32+ seasons as that disappointing when they fall off big. Happens to everyone at some point. 

The guys in their 20s falling on their faces and the top prospects completely busting are the ones for me

Fair points, but I think it's completely unrealistic to have expected Cal to repeat that season when it was such an outlier to begin with. 

There's probably some homer-istic bias for me too given that Vlad has been essentially disapointing every year since 2021 (exception - 2024 and playoffs 2025) so this year just seems like a continuation of that trend.

Having both him AND Vlad locked up for 10+ years would Be franchise-crippling

Massive bullet dodged there. Just imagine if the nightmare scenario of all of Vlad, Tucker and Bo being locked up long term had come to fruition.

Man, 14/500 for Vlad and (allegedly) 10/350 for Tucker would have been a nightmare. Thank goodness the Dodgers did what they did.

I was pretty certain in April that he wouldn’t return this year. We’ll see

I win the pool. I predicted the injury would occur before a call-up. 

I was also the only member of the pool.

If nothing else you can give yourself a nice Barry Horowtitz'ian pat in the back in celebration of your victory.
