Dude is tearing it up and look good by all accounts, but his projections are staggeringly low.  No optimism here?

Upped his average a little, but his injury history is the only thing holding down his value.  If he can stay healthy the whole year, he will have good value batting 2nd for Baltimore.

I'm taking over a keeper team with shitty options for a 5th keeper.  These ranks (obp instead of avg) would have me believe Choo is way more valuable, but I'm not so sure.

With OBP, Choo and Machado are close on a per-game basis so the only difference would be health. Machado is coming off two knee surgeries in the past two years which is why his games are set at 138.  For comparison purposes, it would be helpful to set your Comparison Column to Per Game, 2015 Projections to show values assuming a healthy season.
