Rest-of-season value is what we're after. What’s happened to this point is merely an audition.
Today, we rank all those eligible at*middle infield*(second base, shortstop).
Assume a 5x5 scoring system. Players in the minors or on the DL do not get ranked. I’ll add comments Friday, and reserve the right to make some changes. Win the discussion, win the rank.

If you have disagreement, I’m all ears — so long as you have a reason. Remember not to add or dock value from the players just because you like them, dislike them, roster them, etc.
