I've updated the PWF for the end of the season. First, I got rid of the "average," instead going with a maximum value. Second, I updated some of the categories. I added a "post-strike out" (Defense) and "bunting ability" (Offense) for pitchers and took out "Chatty" under "Offense" and folded it into "Batting Stance/Face." Third, I removed "Line Drive v. Fly Ball," it was too weird. Here's a refresher:

ONFIELD

1. Defense
   i. Hustle - Dives for grounders up the middle? Prevents extra bases?
   ii. Agility - Scoops balls out of the dirt? Throws on the run?
   iii. Catcher - Self-explanatory
   iv. Awareness - Spatially as well as situationally
   v. Defensive Stance - Always ready or picking flowers?
   vi. Pitching Face/Post-strike out - Nobody looks good while pitching, but some don't look terrible. Also, does he gesticulate wildly after a strike out or go about his business?
2. Offense
   i. Hustle - Always goes for the extra base? Runs out infield grounders? Goes hard into 2nd? Reckless or judicious?
   ii. Batting Stance/Face - Repetitive nervous ticks? Sticks ass out? Off-balance? Grimace? Knowing smile? Sneer? Chatty?
   iii. Power & Average - Chicks dig the long ball. But we also dig seeing boys wiggle leading off of first. This one's tough.
   iv. Pitcher's bunting ability - Can they?
   v. Selflessness - Advances the runner? Pads own stats?
   
3. Dugout/Clubhouse
   i. Press Conferences/Interviews - Coherent?
   ii. Quotes - Witty or stupid?
   iii. Chatty - Silly? Headcase? Loner?
   iv. Fights - With teammates or for teammates?

OFF FIELD

1. Personal Hygiene
2. Commercials (local)
3. Commercials (national)
4. Commercials (MLB)
5. Dress
6. Rumors
7. Awards

We'll start with position players and go from there. First up, Molina:

ONFIELD

1. Defense
   i. Hustle (10) He caught 64% of runners trying to steal. 9 points.
   ii. Agility (14) That spin tag in Game 5? 12 points.
   iii. Catcher (5/0) Indeed. 5 points.
   iv. Awareness (8) He made some silly mistakes, but he's getting better. 6 points.
   v. Defensive Stance (8) Hello? 14 points.
   vi. Pitching Face/Post-strike out (5/0) N/A. 0 points.
2. Offense
   i. Hustle (10) He tries, he's just so damn slow. 7 points.
   ii. Batting Stance/Face (12) Yadi's adorable, but that crouch he had was odd. He also often looks worried when looking down at Oquendo. 8 points.
   iii. Power & Average (12) After starting the year 0-fer-April, he started to hit a bit. If his hand hadn't been broken, Yadi might have been a bit better post All-Star (.246/.303/.346). But he's not there for his hitting. 6 points.
   iv. Pitcher's bunting ability (5) N/A. 0 points.
   v. Selflessness (14) Yadi has stats to pad? I kid, I kid. It's a little hard to do much with him because of his speed, but I will forever remember the day he was involved in two double steals. 11 points.
   
3. Dugout/Clubhouse
   i. Press Conferences/Interviews (8) Yadi can be a little hard to understand sometimes. 5 points.
   ii. Quotes (8) Somewhat bland. Always talks about the pitcher, though. 5 points.
   iii. Chatty (8) He seems like a combination of goofball and ridiculously serious. 4 points.
   iv. Fights (6) Sometimes I think he's a little paranoid about sign stealing, but I'd rather that than not worried at all. And by all accounts, the pitchers love him. 5 points.

OFF FIELD

1. Personal Hygiene (16) Here's the thing. He's missing a tooth. So unless he's planning on getting bowled over by Ty Wiggington several more times, he should get that fixed. 11 points.
   
2. Commercials (local) (8) No. 0 points.
   
3. Commercials (national) (10) No. 0 points.
   
4. Commercials (MLB) (10) No. 0 points.
   
5. Dress (10) I don't recall ever seeing him in street clothes. Let's say 5 points.
   
6. Rumors (6) There was that one from the gals at On The DL (that place is creepy, yet oddly fascinating). You go, Yadi. 5 points.
   
7. Awards (6) Soon. Very soon. 0 points.

Yadi ends up with 118 points. Next up, position number three.
