Scout’s note

At 56th percentile on the EV95 scale, José Ramírez sits right at the median of 105.8 — but the luck gap runs negative at -0.0384: his results are slightly below what the contact quality supports, owed a little, not enough to flag. He ranks No. 79 on the breakout composite, closer to the board's 20 than most. From Baní, Dominican Republic, 34, in the big leagues since 2013 — 297 career home runs, 1,002 RBI, 324 steals. The engine says there is more in the barrel than the .235 average shows.

Cash and the tax hit are two different rulebooks and are never subtracted from one another — see the payroll board for his club, Cleveland Guardians.

The tax AAV above is his number under the CBA’s own rulebook, not the average we work out from Cot’s total. On a contract with deferred money the two come apart on purpose — and neither is subtracted from the other.

The Wire

▲ On the field: Guardians strike out 21 for a playoff record; Williams incredible and Ramírez two-run HR clinch ALCS berth.
