I am not sure how often I can update them this year. Too many player changes to point out names, but a lot of the same teams in the mix with some surprises and expected gains...
Grades: [Score, Batting, Pitching]
Week 1 Power Rankings
1) :PHI: - (0-0) [93.34%/B+/A] - Only true Philly on offense is Howard but pitching matches the Phils' fearsome four for the best pitching in MLB (1)
2) :MIL: - (0-0) [91.66%/A/B] - Pujols, Utley, Braun - why do we question Milwaukee? (-1)
3) :LAD: - (0-0) [87.27%/B+/B] - Reigning champs didn't need to do much, how will Kuroda hold up? (3)
4) :CLE: - (0-0) [87.00%/B/B+] - Cleveland has really put it together to make a run at the division title with solid veteran talent (and young studs like Gallardo and Votto) across the board, I like this team (6)
5) :COL: - (0-0) [86.93%/A/C+] - Rockies soap opera - star power AB, little to no depth, but story of the year is their pitching… perhaps the most improved team in the offseason since they had nearly no pitching last year (16)
6) :OAK: - (0-0) [86.30%/B/B+] - A's have young core back for another AL West run, but are susceptible to depth issues (-1)
7) :NYY: - (0-0) [85.66%/B+/C+] - Reigning AL Champs have little pitching depth (-3)
8) :ATL: - (0-0) [84.80%/B+/C+] - Offense is loaded w/Morneau, Dunn, Heyward, Uggla, Prado, and Ellsbury / little pitching depth (6)
9) :STL: - (0-0) [84.43%/B/B] - Many cheap veterans and young specs may go unnoticed at first glance… strong Cardinals team again
10) :PIT: - (0-0) [83.43%/B-/B] - Pirates will start off with better pitching and will hope to avoid injuries (10)
11) :HOU: - (0-0) [83.30%/B-/B] - Surprise playoff team from 2010 comes back with vets that do well in this league (Helton) and plenty of bench support and depth (1)
12) :CIN: - (0-0) [83.27%/B/B-] - Little offensive depth, stud players there, some decent pitching but not the greatest (-5)
13) :TOR: - (0-0) [83.04%/C+/B] - Jays lost a lot as focus shifts to pitching (-10)
14) :TB: - (0-0) [82.40%/B/C+] - Better bats than real-life Rays, rotation okay outside of Price, deepest bullpen ever (5)
15) :TEX: - (0-0) [81.40%/B/C+] - Sizemore, Betemit questionable - pitching okay, tough to beat A's (1)
16) :CHW: - (0-0) [80.17%/C+/B-] - I am not a fan of many of the White Sox position players here, but young rotation looks great (-3)
17) :BOS: - (0-0) [78.40%/B-/C] - Zero depth at the positions but some stars there - pitching is average, Red Sox need help (-2)
18) :DET: - (0-0) [77.36%/B/C] - Detroit has offensive potential, but rotation is weak link (-10)
19) :ARZ: - (0-0) [76.00%/C/C] - Bats have improved but will Bautista reproduce '10 campaign? D'Backs look to build on strong 2nd half (-2)
20) :SF: - (0-0) [75.84%/D/B+] - When will Trout be called up? Weak bats, little depth, excellent top of rotation (-2)
21) :LAA: - (0-0) [74.24%/D/B] - Yuk…. No offense, can't even fill C/CI positions, pitching is only bright spot (-10)
22) :MIN: - (0-0) [73.30%/C/C] - Twins signed too many aging vets (3)
23) :CHC: - (0-0) [70.00%/C/D] - Cubs have a bright future, weak bats, and a nice ace in Verlander (-1)
24) :BAL: - (0-0) [67.96%/C/D] - Signed Michael Young, but many guys still in the farm as team is shorthanded (2)
25) :KC: - (0-0) [67.83%/D/D] - Royals can't mature quick enough, Fielder is huge for offense (5)
26) :WAS: - (0-0) [64.80%/C/F] - Nats have offensive potential, but zero pitching (-2)
27) :SEA: - (0-0) [64.34%/F/D] - Many holes, relying on Ackley and Chris Davis
28) :FL: - (0-0) [60.30%/F/D] - Not much has changed here.. Still relying on AAAA talent at most positions
29) :SD: - (0-0) [59.37%/F/D] - Pitching may keep them from being worst team
30) :NYM: - (0-0) [58.87%/F/F] - The Mutts look like the worst team in the league… GM is in question still (-7)

As it stands right now, the power rankings like the following playoff teams...
:PHI:, :MIL:, :LAD:, :COL:
:NYY:, :CLE:, :OAK:, :TOR:
-
10) :PIT: - (0-0) [83.43%/B-/B] - Pirates will start off with better pitching and will hope to avoid injuries (10)
Oh no Johnny Cueto

Oh no Johnny Cueto
I am not too worried about Cueto just yet...
Funniest part of the rankings is the NL Central (sans Brewers, Cubbies)
9) :STL: - (0-0) [84.43%/B/B] - Many cheap veterans and young specs may go unnoticed at first glance… strong Cardinals team again
10) :PIT: - (0-0) [83.43%/B-/B] - Pirates will start off with better pitching and will hope to avoid injuries (10)
11) :HOU: - (0-0) [83.30%/B-/B] - Surprise playoff team from 2010 comes back with vets that do well in this league (Helton) and plenty of bench support and depth (1)
12) :CIN: - (0-0) [83.27%/B/B-] - Little offensive depth, stud players there, some decent pitching but not the greatest (-5)

Good read Colby. Here is how I would rank the NL Central:
STL
MIL
<big gap>
PIT
CIN
<bigger gap>
HOU
-
I really don't think I am that far away from the Phillies. I will be interested to see what the rankings are come Opening Day, if I can make 1 or 2 more trades in the meantime. With that being said, very good job Colby.

Great post, as always Colby. Glad the Brewers are finally getting some love, hopefully the old-timers can stay healthy :toth:
-
You really think the Mets have less talent than San Diego? If they do it wont last that way for long, they have that nice salary cap!

Good read Colby. Here is how I would rank the NL Central:

Dan just rocked bottomed Jake on the accouncer table, so ruthless.

Dan just rocked bottomed Jake on the accouncer table, so ruthless.
As you can see, it took him about 17 hours to come up with it, which is roughly how long Dan's mom needs to work the streets to provide her son a meal at Popeye's.
-
Hey, I love Popeyes
-
17 seconds being the amount of time it takes for Jake's mom to engulf a Watermelon with her hoo haa. She also calls it the deep end of the pool, so the children wouldn't go near it when she was "entertaining".
-
haaa :rofl:
-
Let's get back to the rankings...
-
Good read as always Colb... IMHO Yanks, Rox, White Sox, Twins, and Sawx need to be higher... Injuns, Stros, Brewers need to come down a bit. And again, the two Central divisions will be kicking the snot out of each other.
-
Quick question, I think I used to know this, but I have since forgotten. What do the percentages beside the team stand for?
~MTK
-
Dan - I have Colorado ranked very high already... Houston may be ranked high based on last year. Teams won't have the luck this year thanks to the new schedule.
Aubrey - The % are for grades

It pleases me to see my Phils on top of the rankings. There are a lot of really good teams out there so this season is going to be a lot of fun! There are a lot of great managers here and the competition will be tough. I'd rather be first on the final rankings of the season though! :win:
-
Good work, I enjoy these and the discussions that come up as a result.

Game play starts this week, but we had a lot of moves recently...

Ouch...
The day after he hits his first opening day homer.
-
Well the Royals are certainly jumping out of the gate. Hope we can keep it up this year. Its all really going to depend on my young guys and if my pitching comes together. Really excited to get this year going.
-
Padres are 9th in scoring right now (means nothing) with -9 points on pitching!
-
Phillies take a big hit losing Holliday for 3-6 weeks.
I think its safe to say the worst scenario has happened to me already.
-
My Buccos are losing 2-6 right now, but they have a fighter's chance in most of the games.
-
The central is knocking the hell out of each other... I may have more of a points lead if it wasn't for the presence of automatic out Chone Figgins... why did I trade for him? Twice... I hate you Chone

I have a couple close ones, but my Pirates could be starting 6-2 with a loss each to both the Cards and Phils. Close games are on the line with the Reds (2) and Brewers (1), so this is a big week out the gates!
-
KC is 8-0 baby!
-
your lucky you didnt play the Indians. I would of killed the Royals!!!! See your first lost soon!

League leader in GIDP, adding one more to his total so far tonight bringing him to a whopping 7 on the season (2nd highest with 4), the 27 million dollar man himself Mr. Albert Pujols :rool:
-
Seven undefeated teams... let's see how long this lasts. :koolaid:
-
I dont deserve the No.1 spot - Zimmerman is out for 3 weeks, Bucholz/Hughes both have major issues. Having played LA in this week, I got a first chance look at just how strong LA is. The pitching staff is so deep and talented, and the offense also packs a major punch. If the LA GM ever decides to trade some prospects to make a run for it, look out.
My personal top 5:
1. LA
2. NYY
3. PHI
4. OAK
5. COL
-
Agreed on LA. Losing Furcal doesn't even phase him. They are strong and you are correct about how good he might be with the prospects being traded. He won it all with them.
-
Hamilton out 6-8 weeks :taco:
-
Reds crash and burn in week 2...Dusty Baker has been fired and replaced by Bobby Valentine

The fish won 6 out of the 8 games!

Hey Colby, the Rays picked up Livan and Buster this week...Longo due back and Hanley about to heat up...only +1....no love in the Bay area :rofl:
*Note to league*
My fantasy team is now motivated....
-
Things are beginning to look somewhat up for the Bravos. Prado and Uggla are showing signs of life at the plate now and Morneau is finally over the flu. If we can get these guys up to their normal level along with Adam Dunn, We'll hang with anyone.

Definitely think the Friars should be higher than me, Chris has a full lineup (both hitting and pitching), and a better record even. I think I'm down to two SP's and no starting CI's. :bacon:
-
It looks like the Pirates may finish with a banner 8-0 week. The opponents are a bit weaker, but those are the games my team has to win.

Big movers this week: Jays and Astros fall, Royals and Twins rise... I think we are going to have a lot of competition this year. I include the Reds because they can make a turn-around. The Diamondbacks deserve credit with a winning record, but the NL Wildcard is going to go to a team with a lot of wins. The NL East and AL West feature only two teams each that can win those divisions. The Mets, Marlins, Nats, Mariners, and Angels don't even deserve consideration.

Aubrey you better overnight that too. I dont want the mountains on the coors being grey!
-
Appreciate the love but I dont see how anyone is going to overcome LAD or MIL (now that they've acquired both Youk and Shields). Both teams are already extremely tough to beat, and both have enough pieces in their farm system to make several more acquisitions. My team on the other hand is facing major injury issues (Zimmerman out until All star break, Hughes for I dont even know how long). My minor league system is also depleted (thanks Dan) so it will difficult to acquire talent. I dont even think I can make the playoffs at this point...
-
I still like the talent on your team Howe. It is a long season, so there will plenty of changes along the way. I would love to predict my Pirates making the playoffs, but I can't see them getting past the Brewers or one of the WC teams.
-
Hoping to sneak in there somewhere and ruin someone's season. This team has come a long ways. Still looking to make another move or two. To gain me a little more respect this year.
Dark Horse: Tsuyoshi Nishioka is set to return soon, if he can get it going, I will have to do something about the log jam at MI (Prado, Uggla, Aybar, and Nishioka).
~MTK
-
I don't wont to be accused of beating a dead horse, but my top 4 hitters have yet to really get going. Dunn is stuck in a funk and the 3 amigos (Prado, Uggla, and Heyward) are just sitting idle waiting on an invitation, I guess. It's embarrassing especially with the money invested in my offense, that my Pitching is outperforming them. Hopefully, these guys will come around soon enough so that I can barely squeeze into the playoffs and then surprise some people.

Good bounceback week for my Jays. Look out Yanks, we are right behind you. Hopefully reinforcements will come in soon to help Zobrist and my pitching staff carry the team.

My Pirates survived an ugly week. I have an easy schedule this week that I need to take care of....

Yanks are just starting to get healthy. Only a matter of time till they just go wild
:NYY: will continue the dominance in the AL East.

The NL East looks like a two team show. Braves are looking real good! Should make for a great race the rest of the season! :taco:

Agreed, I think the :PHI: and :ATL: race will be the best of the league. We are finally starting to hit although, Adam Dunn or Dan Uggla still haven't got the memo.

The NL Wildcard may be the best race.

Good bounceback week for my Jays. Look out Yanks, we are right behind you. Hopefully reinforcements will come in soon to help Zobrist and my pitching staff carry the team.
You can thank the asleep-at-the-wheel former GM of the Rays for Zobrist being on your team lololol....guy didn't even TRY to re-sign anyone lol.

lol I also have to thank all the guys who refused to take on Zobrist's salary this offseason. I was very close to trading him a couple of times.

Still is a very expensive contract. :judge:

It provides a visual representation of the highs and lows of fantasy sports and how we live and die with our teams. Keep up the good work brother! :toast:

Well the Padres were that bad when I took them over. Going into the season I didn't even know if I'd have a full lineup. To have 10 wins is mighty exciting. An increase in salary over time would be nice. 60m is only so much fun.

I knew what I was getting into when I took over the orioles. I achieved my goals of reducing future contracts and improving the farm team. With the first pick in the entry draft I should add a high level prospect and add some depth to the farm with the rest of my picks.

5) - (31-9) [89.30%/B+/A-] - Another solid week for Paul's Cards (2)
The Cards are unbeaten in the odd numbered weeks but struggle in the even numbered weeks. Unfortunately this is an even numbered week plus we play 4 games with the Brewers. The Brewers are still the team to beat in the NL Central even though we are 6-2 against them so far. When does the easy part of the schedule begin?
-
Wow... this Brewers-Cards series will set you guys apart for a little bit. My Pirates are due for a good week, so I am hoping to capitalize on one of you getting at least four losses. Scoring has an ebb and flow with hot/cold hitters and pitchers' starts.
-
How about San Diego making that shift upwards!
-
I'm haven't gone back and checked every week but I'm pretty sure I haven't moved more than one spot in either direction at all this entire season. And I don't get any snazzy comments either... I don't know if that's a good thing or a bad thing. At least I'm consistent I guess haha.

V-Mart is carrying my Jays to a huge week. Very timely considering the tough schedule this week, with games against most of the best records and highest scoring teams in the AL.

Lind was out all week (or should I say weak) with a bad back and Beckham has got a mean case of stank... I'm just waiting for an anvil to drop on Rasmus in center field, or Headley to get electrocuted by a hotel coffee machine.

Well then, you might want to sell-high on Rasmus. I heard an anvil to the head is a career-ending injury...

WOW, if I am correct, I was down 30 points to the Dodgers (1520-1490) and I had one player left.....newly acquired Curtis Granderson. Who happened to score 44.8 points thanks a 1/3 night with 1R, 1HR, and 2RBIs. That might be the tightest game I have been apart of.
Side note, I'm sorry for anyone who had to play :TOR: looks like they lead the league is scoring (1800+) this week. 2nd place might be me (1540) which is about 300 points back. Plus, the Jays did it without Ricky Romero or Jose Bautista (real life Jays) who had good weeks.
~MTK
-
My team did good the first half of the week and then laid an egg the rest of the week. I watched the Dodgers blow right by me. :soapbox:
-
When does divisional play end? These NL Central matchups are killing me... Brewers have the most points in the league by a healthy margin (without Utley, or Pujols being Pujols), but also have the most points against thanks in large part to the Cards so we're in danger of being 5 games out of the division lead (pending this 4 game set with STL, still too close to call).
-
What games do you have going on right now?
~MTK

Looks like the Yanks are going to be chasing my Jays after this week. Hope these guys can keep those bats hot.

Always pulling for the underdog. Looks like the 2 of them will be atop their respective East divisions after this week. :taco:

Based on these Week 6 records, the Cubs should have at least 11 wins and they currently show 0 in Fantrax. That leads me to believe that the problems are not fixed for all teams.

I hope to have these updated soon, but Fantrax is still off with several teams.

It looks bad that they have been so good, and hold the best record, but are 7th in the rankings. It is based on an evaluation of their current staff and production... hence why the 29-loss Yankees are ranked so high.

Injuries are humbling. JJ, Liriano, Ross, Litsch, Niemann from my SP and Ike from my lineup. A benched Ike being upgraded to Rasmus and Headley should help. Starting to get the arms trickling back in as well. Looking forward to strong finish to the month.

i was having a bad week and a couple players got hurt. i felt i just didnt have enough money or prospects to trade to get past the royals

Hey Rob get in line if you are going to complain about injuries, my season was over in week two.
Doubt I've had the volume of injuries/ under-performance, but I've had some terrible luck myself. Longo out for a month in game #2, Hanley underperforms. I then trade for Posey, who goes out for the year, Hanley goes on DL and Longo can't hit water falling out of a boat...same boat as HanRam now that I think of it. Add injuries to Neimann, Ohlendorf and Talbot and you have a recipe for non-contention. On the bright side, I have Posey and Longoria locked up for a LOOONG time.
-
Yeah I can't complain too much I have Hamilton, Lind, Ike, Becks, and Mauer to build around going forward.
-
Huge week for my Pirates as the newly acquired Verlander pitches tomorrow. I decided to start J.A. Happ. Carroll and Cuddyer are plugged into the lineup. I am down a 100 or so points to both the Cards (3-game series) and Phils (2-game series) with a huge lead in my Giants 3-game series.

Two teams in the Championship Tier from your division and two other divisions with the same makes competing for a division or wildcard birth seem slim, no?

Don't remind me of the situation...
My Pirates and a few other teams appear to be caught in that middle. Give it a few more weeks until we see what actually happens. I need Holliday to come back from the DL.
-
It looks like I will be 8-0 this week including sweeps of the Cards and Phils!
-
I think I'm 6-2 this week, Mauer comes back on Thursday. Perfect time to sell off pieces. Good job me.
-
Looks like the East is the Phils to lose. Bravos are dealing with some big time injuries at a bad time, plus it seems Adam Dunn left his power in Washington. I expect Aubrey to make some moves before the deadline.
-
Huge Sunday for my Jays who look like they will salvage a tough 8-0 week against big weeks from TB and KC. Staying neck and neck with the Yanks for the division race.
-
Pirates need to pick up a lot of games in the wildcard race, but I like the production that I have right now. All of that and my best position player (Holliday) is on the DL!
-
Colby's Pirates went off last week!! Figures when its against me lol. I think my Phils are solid from top to bottom though and I'm hoping to compete with the big boys this year for the championship! Lots of good teams! Brewers, Dodgers, Rockies, and A's have incredible teams!

im not one to brag but 12-0 the last two weeks, i think i may have figured this thing out lol :beer:

I think the Crawford deal would actually hurt my team this year. I am losing the #2 MI in the game for an OF that is hurt. My OF already consists of LoMo, Stanton, Kemp, Hart so Crawford might not even start even if he is 100% healthy.

It kind of baffled me... I figured you would resign Weeks with no issue there.

I have been so scattered lately that I didn't even realize he was hurt. The rankings would be better if I would look at every team on Fantrax each week, but that is way too much involvement.

Yep. Medlen was a mistake; Pettite was by design (and then abandoned).

Medlen was signed as a FA by the Orioles (or Cubs and was traded?). You'll have to search the transaction history. The Pirates signed him after he was dropped (immediately when he was being put on the shelf for TJ surgery) last August. I recall the Cardinals dropped him just before that.

Just went back and found it. Huskerfan signed him as an FA in February of this year. Man did he make a bunch of crappy signings for the Orioles in his short tenure. I dont know what was worse this signing or the Mora deal... also don't get why he said 3yrs at 6M for Medlen and 4Yrs at 13M for Mora.... must not have known how the bidding process worked. Would really be nice to not have these two contracts.

You could cut them. Imo, we have a team-friendly policy in terms of the cap effects of releasing players, especially if you cut them after the trade deadline.

Agreed. Unlike MLB where contracts are 100% guaranteed, you are given a bit of a break here because: A) It's fantasy baseball, B) Your predecessors.

I know I can cut them for a discount. Just gotta wait til the deadline to do it. I have a few prospects I would like to sign but don't have the roster spots right now so its just kind of frustrating.

You can cut them now, but you would have to absorb 90% of their salary for this year as opposed to 75% after the deadline.

Thanks to Corey who sent me the updated standings with my iPhone acting up. We still need to settle the issue with several teams having 7, 9, or 10 GP this past week.

Well I hope 2012 isn't real so that maybe someday I can have a winning club. But in all honesty, I watch my scores daily and if the schedule was more like Jon's are, with 3-4 day periods, I would be a lot closer to .500. I have good breaks the first 3-4 days. Oh well. Go Nats!! :thumbsup:

Only 3 against us, but yeah losing to Stl and LAD means it should be a tie atop the NL West going into next week, with Stl holding the division games lead (not sure on head-to-head, probably close).
-
8-0 for my Jays. Good timing to give me some breathing room in the WC lead again. Boston, Cleveland and Texas all recording some losses at least.
-
Really hoping that my trades pay off down the stretch, got a tie with CLE who is HOT while we are not

yawn the yanks 8-0 again come on playoffs and rickie weeks lol

Man what a year, cannot believe that ending. I really thought I had it. Congrats to the Indians for pulling in out in those last few weeks. Excited for next year with Hanley and Fielder on my team. 2012 is huge because I am possibly losing some guys after that and my farm is slowly getting re-built with young guys. I love this league though, best one I have ever been in. Wish that I had traded Joyce when his value was higher, my only big regret this year. My three year plan that I set when I joined this league is going better than expect though! I'm guess I am rooting for the Yankees in the playoffs since I am not in.

well thanks bud ill do u and the rest of the yanks fans proud!

SD feels good about sorting out the garbage from pretenders. Hopefully the youth grows, we're able to retain and trade the talent, and we might be able to expand our financial outlook. SD is America's team because times are tight for us as well :thumbsup:
