yre a very good side. They had a good first win of the season and

Our All-Time #MLBRank Top 100 offers a definitive ordering of the greatest names in the games history. In whittling down 162 players on the ballot to 100, the criteria used by our panel were peak performance and career value. But what about todays young stars Mike Trout, Clayton Kershaw, Bryce Harper and others who have a chance to climb the rankings in future years? Using ZiPS WAR projections, we can get an idea of where they might land when their careers are over.I took the seven active players under age 30 on the #MLBRank ballot, listed below in order of projected career WAR: Trout, Kershaw, Harper, Chris Sale, Andrew McCutchen, Buster Posey and Madison Bumgarner. In looking at their yearly projections, you get a sense of how well (or not well) each one will age -- and who their closest historical comparisons might be.For career comparisons: We listed the two career WAR totals, among retired players from the same position, ranked just above the projection, and the two totals just below it. The closest comp is the one closest to the projection. MIKE TROUT CF, Angels Age: 24 #MLBRank: 40Trouts talents and accomplishments are unquestioned. He has a unique, impressive skill set across every aspect of the game. One question: Will he be putting up these numbers in an Angels uniform, or elsewhere? Despite the teams struggles and barren farm system (not to mention Trouts $144.5 million contract), the future Hall of Famer is under contract through the 2020 season. And he projects to have at least 4-5 All-Star caliber seasons after that -- well worth locking up with an extension if the Angels can swing it. But one things for sure: he should finish his career in elite company.Projected totalsCareer progressionCareer comps (CF)Closest WAR comp: Tris SpeakerCLAYTON KERSHAW LHP, Dodgers Age: 28 #MLBRank: 26Kershaws career has gone into orbit in his mid-to-late twenties, putting him in position to finish his career among the 10 or 15 greatest pitchers of all time (current back pain notwithstanding). Before he missed the past month due to injury, 2016 was on track to be the fourth consecutive season of increased WAR for the star lefty. If he can remain healthy going forward, and in a pitcher-friendly National League home park, the skys the limit -- though some sustained postseason success would also help solidify his case.Career progressionCareer comps (P)Closest WAR comp: Gaylord PerryBRYCE HARPER RF, Nationals Age: 23 #MLBRank: 85Expectations have always been huge for Harper, who appeared on the cover of Sports Illustrated at age 16 and ranked as the No. 1 overall MLB prospect two years in a row by Baseball America going into his rookie season. While he has been inconsistent this season, 2015 showed he can actually live up to the advance billing and then some (.330/.460/.649 slashline with 42 home runs). Even if he doesnt produce like that every season, he is projected to keep his yearly WAR above 3 until age 34 (in 2027).Career progressionCareer comps (RF)Closest WAR comp: Al KalineCHRIS SALE LHP, White Sox Age: 27 #MLBRank: NRSale was a 21-year-old prospect with just 11 minor league appearances when he was called up to the White Sox in 2010. Since becoming a starter two seasons later, he has finished top-five in the American League Cy Young voting three times and started this summers All Star Game. As he aims for his first Cy Young Award, is he peaking right now? Yes, but he has staying power. The next few years should be among his finest, but he should remain productive into his mid-30s based on projections. Just keep him away from any more throwback jerseys.Career progressionCareer comps (P)Closest WAR comp: John Smoltz/Tommy JohnANDREW McCUTCHEN CF, Pirates Age: 29 #MLBRank: NRThe 2013 National League MVP has largely had a season to forget this year, sporting a 24.5 percent strikeout rate (career high) and 8.6 percent walk rate (career low) while struggling to drive in runs and sparking debate about what the Pirates should do. While his 20-steal seasons might be behind him as he enters his 30s, he can still bounce back as a productive hitter and play for a long time.Career progressionCareer comps (CF)Closest WAR comp: Robin YountBUSTER POSEY C, Giants Age: 29 #MLBRank: NRSan Franciscos steadfast catcher is all about durability, able to shake off minor injuries and keep playing. He averaged 148.3 games from 2012 through 2015, while the only catcher within 20 games of that average is Yadier Molina (130). And looking forward, Posey appears to be built to last -- our projections have him registering a 3.1 WAR at age 35, better than Trout, Harper or McCutchen.Career progressionCareer comps (C)Closest WAR comp: Yogi Berra/Mike PiazzaMADISON BUMGARNER LHP, Giants Age: 26 #MLBRank: NRAlthough he sometimes gets obscured by some of the other great arms in the National League, Bumgarner was 10-4 with a 1.94 ERA going into the All Star break. He has already earned a stellar postseason resume (7-3 record), including a 4-1 playoff record in 2014 to go with National League Championship Series and World Series MVP honors. And its not accounted for here, but Bumgarner impacts his starts as a hitter, too (13 career homers, 3.5 offensive WAR per Fangraphs).Career progressionCareer comps (P)Closest WAR comp: Mickey LolichZIPS projections and WAR totals as of July 20thurman munson shirt .

Mariano Rivera Jersey . -- Aaron Murray threw for 408 yards and three touchdowns, ran for another score, and led No.After picking up successive County Championship titles, Yorkshire have a target on their back.Theyre the team that everyone wants to beat but head coach Jason Gillespie insists that the challenge of winning a third title on the bounce is something to be embraced.Indeed, their 2014 triumph ended a 13-year wait for the prize - a minor delay compared to the 33 years that had passed since their last win prior to that - during which time they even suffered relegation to Division Two. Relative to that, the pressure of defending the title is no hardship at all. Were just embracing the challenge, Gillespie told Sky Sports ahead of Sundays Sky Live Championship match at Nottinghamshire.Weve put aside the fact that weve won two Championships - thats great but were just focusing on this summer and this season, and what we need to do to play good cricket. We see it as a massive challenge and something to be embraced.The other eight teams are the challengers. Weve had hard-fought draws against Hampshire and Warwickshire so we know that every team, every match, that we play in this division is going to be really difficult - a really strong challenge but were excited about that and were up for it. Jack Brooks, Adam Lyth, Gary Ballance and Ryan Sidebottom celebrate Yorkshires 2015 County Championship win It is that attitude of relishing every opportunity to overcome any obstacle that is put in front of them that has seen Yorkshire rise so swiftly under the Australians leadership.Promotion in Gillespies first season at the helm in 2012 was followed by a second-place finish in 2013, in which they pushed eventual champions Durham all the way, before going one better in each of the past two seasons.In that time, the county has also brought through a talented group of young batsmen, many of whom either have or are tipped to represent England.Of course, the step up to international level is not without its difficulties and Yorkshire have seen a couple of their number struggle at the highest level.Namely, Gary Ballance and Adam Lyth, both of whom have returned to the county scene keen to regroup before pushing for an England recall. Adam Lyth good enough to thrive at international level, says Gillespie Theyve responded very positively, its been great, Gillespie said of the duo. The lads have worked really hard on their games.They understand, theyre grateful for the opportunity to play for their country and while it didnt quite work out for them, the advice from us has been simply: You are your own best selector, go out and score as many runs as you can, that gives you the best chance of being ppicked.ddddddddddddWere obviously very keen to see as many Yorkshire players representing England as possible. I certainly think Adam is good enough to succeed and thrive at international level.He didnt quite grasp his chance during the Ashes but all he can do is focus on scoring runs for Yorkshire and if an opportunity comes then Im sure hell grab it with both hands. Gary Ballance was dropped by England last summer The former Aussie quick was equally upbeat on Ballances chances, praising his dedication and insisting that he too is ready to take his chance if it comes.Hes been working on all facets of his game, added Gillespie. Theres been a lot of media talk and people offering advice and whatnot, but hes been working very hard with various coaches at Yorkshire on various aspects of his game.Hes been in fine touch so far in pre-season and this season and hes really excited about this summer ahead for Yorkshire.Perhaps the example both men can look to is Joe Root. The England star has recovered from being dropped from the side during the 2013/14 Ashes series to establish himself as one of the worlds leading batsmen. Joe Root is likely to feature for Yorkshire against Notts And the pair will have a chance to pick his brains in the coming weeks with Root set to make a rare appearance for Yorkshire in their Division One clash with Nottinghamshire.We dont really bank on having Joe at all so any time we do have him is an absolute bonus, said Gillespie.Its great that hes back and available for us for a couple of fixtures. We welcome him with open arms. Hes a great lad to have around and, obviously, a wonderful player.As for the match itself, Gillespie is expecting a difficult game at Trent Bridge but aims to ensure Yorkshire have done everything possible to go out and claim their first win of the campaign.Theyre a very good side. They had a good first win of the season and then they lost to Lancashire, he added.We know what a quality side they are and were certainly very respectful of that and we know its going to be a really tough challenge for us.Well do our best preparation, well do our research on their side and well work really hard to give ourselves the best chance of being successful.You can watch Yorkshire take on Nottinghamshire in Specsavers County Championship Division One live on Sky Sports 2 HD.
