Albert Almora could probably have his fielding ratings lowered a bit. From when he was drafted and throughout his time in the minors he had a reputation as a gold glove caliber CF, but all his numbers would suggest that while he's still very good, he's likely a tier below that.

Similarly, Addison Russell could get a bump up at SS. Over the last two years he's second in DRS at SS, and while defensive numbers are obviously not inerrant, it strongly suggests he's better than at least a couple guys w/higher ratings at SS than what he currently has in the game. If nothing else, he's better at SS than Almora is at CF, if that makes sense.

Just a couple of Cubs-centric thoughts for next year's roster set. Thanks for all the work you guys put in!
