It's pretty laughable that Freeman isn't ahead of at least 30 of those players.

That list as a whole is really awful.
 
Maybe this will light a fire under Freddie Freeman and they'll have to eat crow next year. Julio as well.
 
So Seager who is still listed as a prospect is on there and Arod but no Freeman??? This list lost all credability.

Unbelievable that a guy with ~100 PA in the majors is the 99th best ball player in the game.. What a crock of **** that list is. And I am fine with FF not making it.. he showed some chinks in his armor last year.. let him prove himself to get back on it.. but a guy with 100 plate appearances is not deserving.
 
How in the world is Andrelton Simmons better than Freeman? He's a terrible hitter, and the worst base runner ever.
 
In certain years he has been.

Yeah, when Simmons didn't hit like a minor leaguer.
And Freeman has been better the last three years - even missing time last year.
I think plenty of teams would pay Freeman big money, and no one would pay Simmons big money.
