I'd really like to know what Yahoo was smoking. Reyes, who doesn't hit any HRs, RBIs, and has a low average, was ranked second ahead of A-rod? and Crawford (who also hits no HRs, RBI) was ranked 5th?
A-rod contributes in all 5 categories. 3 of them he does very well (HRs, Runs, RBI) and in SB and Average he's still well above average. You don't get that kind of production from anyone with the exception of David Wright and Hanley Ramirez; Ramirez plays for a bad team limiting his numbers, and Wright is great but still doesn't reach A-rod's averages.
I mean, you certainly could convince yourself that Ramirez and Wright are in the neighborhood, and depending on deviations and luck they might be better; but A-rod is still consistently the best option.
