I'll do another one on opening day when I get a better idea of your lineups

1. Youth Rights Knights.........272-158
2. Teh Peeled Bananas..........245-185
3. BC Stoners.......................229-200
4. Fist's Sox.........................225-205
5. Calamitious Intent.............222-207
6. Next Big Thing..................220-209
6. Siddiqui Slammers............220-209
8. City Hobgoblins................209-220
9. Dallas Dwarf Tossers........193-236
10. Blazin Berz.....................164-266

Wow, that's a significant lead for me. You think my team is that good?

[EPW]

My spreadsheet does at least. I'm going to get some updated projections tomorrow, and it's also over valuing relievers at the moment because I'm not weighting ERA/WHIP by IP. Also, I had to fudge the HLDs category because no one tries to predict them.

[OzzyKP]

Ah, I'm not the only one with spreadsheets.

But that projection makes me happy.

Imran and Berz did comprehensive evaluations of each team last year. I want that too!

[EPW]

Jason Heyward is officially Atlanta's starting right feilder.

[OzzyKP]

Ok, final rankings based on ESPN projections. Smaller/negative numbers are best.



1. Imran 22
2. Ozzy 154
3. EmpFab 226
4. Stuie 267
5. Fist 306
6. Sloww 448
7. EPW 478
8. Guy 675
9. Vlad 788
10. Berz 1568


First number is the ESPN rank for the player, second number is the place they were taken by us. Last number is the difference.

[Berzerker]

my best pick starts the season on the DL

and I'll agree with worse picks Neftali and Chapman (for now but they dont have holds so RPs shouldn't be there and Desmond will produce

but the stats are clear, I'm gonna kick ass

[EPW]

your team sucks berz, sorry.

[Berzerker]

dont be sorry, I'm not

yer talking to the waiver wire king

[SlowwHand]

You're lagging behind at my last check. EPW, Mr. Grade The Other Teams As Poor, has turned over 20% of his roster.

[EPW]

Actually, I just added the only two decent players on the DL to my team. Sadly I had to drop poor Luke to get them because yahoo is too dumb to put them directly on the DL.

[Berzerker]

thats pissing me off, I got 2 guys starting the season on the DL and they aint DL optionable. I ******* wanted Davis

[EPW]

**** **** ****
I thought I had another day to edit my lineup

[OzzyKP]

And so it begins.

[OzzyKP]

Still no one rated everyone's drafts.

[EPW]

I'm too pissed off now to do it.
