Storylines

Bobby Wagner grades out as WAS's best

Bobby Wagner (MLB) sits at 77 out of 100 for 2025 — a percentile against every other player at that position, built from charted performance rather than raw totals.

Where They Stand

Above average, on this scale — 52.4, 26th of 32. The two halves barely resemble each other: the offensive line grades 56 while the secondary sits at 14. The NFC East is the weakest company available, grading 56.1 — 8th of eight — which flatters everyone in it. Over the last 5 they are 2-3, outscored by opponents by 1.0 a game. Across the last three games — L 22-24 at Philadelphia Eagles, W 24-17 at Philadelphia Eagles, L 23-30 vs Dallas Cowboys. Dan Quinn (60-60 for his career) has this club outperforming its graded talent by 2.4 points a game — the coaching is adding something the roster grade alone does not explain.

The bracket is a long way off: 11% across the simulations. The median season is 6.5-10.5, with the division won 4% of the time.

Written from this club's own stored numbers — its Power Rating and the parts that make it up, its last five games, its division, its remaining schedule and its depth chart. Which facts appear depends on where this club is unusual, so no two teams get the same summary. Deterministic, not written by a language model: the site builds where no local model exists and cloud inference is ruled out.
