North, get on that bro. I'm looking to trade Dioner Navarro for Kris Medlen.

[Dr. Dinger]

Dinger you better do some power rankings for this league. We don't want to seem bush league compared to the BBDL.

 

Here are the Week 1 PRs, keeping in mind these numbers are basically meaningless at this point. Blurb yourself.

Gryffindor -8.4 -8.4 -16.8

[jays_fever]

Maybe I should rename my team name to bye week 2

[Sammy225]

Welp, I now more players on the DL than there are DL slots:

 

Hisashi Iwakuma

Doug Fister

David Robertson

Wilson Ramos

Marco Scutaro

Brian Wilson

 

FML

 

My Plan is almost complete.... MUAHAHAHA

[Dr. Dinger]

You can't spell Scutaro without CUT!

[Sammy225]

Take the division after my team gets crippled by injuries? Very wise plan IMO.

 

More or less lol. I just need a couple more teams in the division to get crippled too before it can do that lol.

Despite the meaningless nature of these numbers, pretty much the usual suspects at the top there. Expect War Puigs and North to trend upwards also.

 

I imagine nearly everyone expects that top 5 and North and War Puigs to make the playoffs this season.

[NorthOf49]

Are the power rankings based off projected ROS or past performance?

 

I manipulate my roster for each matchup enough to throw off past performance measures and I imagine others do too. For example, I sat Kemp's two homer game to lock in OBP and started a lot of lesser starters late in the week for Ks and Wins.

Blah blah blah no one cares.

[NorthOf49]

Blah blah blah no one cares.

lol. I'm not complaining, just saying you should take past-performance rankings with a grain of salt since they don't quite tell you how good teams have been in the past.

[TRM]

No, but their record does and you're a paltry 8-6.

 

What a peasant.

 

Edit: A serf even, I daresay.

[NorthOf49]

No, but their record does and you're a paltry 8-6.

Yep! I've sucked so far.

 

In a large sample I think record is important on its own. That's all I'm getting at.

Don't worry North, you're gonna be an excellent #1 seed for the consolation playoffs!

[TRM]

North missing the big boy playoffs would be so delicious.

 

Unfortunately...

 

1. There isn't even actually a consolation playoffs when you have such a large league and an 8 team playoff.

 

2. I don't see that happening, especially given he has 2014 NL MVP Matt Kemp and 2014 NL Rookie of the Year Matt Davidson.

[NorthOf49]

North missing the big boy playoffs would be so delicious.

The consolation playoffs are for losers of the first round of the 'big boy playoffs,' they're not for teams 9-20.

 

Anyway, once you get in, anything can happen. It would just be bad luck if I lost and got into the consolations, nothing 'delicious.' Delicious would be my team falling apart and finishing 13th.

[The Cats Ass]

Week 1 was the Josh Hamilton show for the WAR Puigs. Hopefully he can keep it up, and Don Baylor helped him figure some things out. He was starting to look like one of the worst picks in the first 2 rounds of the original draft.

[TRM]

Just a league wide FYI, there's no better way to procrastinate writing 6 more pages for a "Leadership" paper by 5 pm then facilitate a little good natured North bash session.

[Boxcar]

That's too bad. It would be nice if Boxy had something to play for every year.

 

I'm 19th bro. My team is amazing.

[Dr. Dinger]

lol. I'm not complaining, just saying you should take past-performance rankings with a grain of salt since they don't quite tell you how good teams have been in the past.

 

Did the "keeping in mind these numbers are basically meaningless at this point" part confuse you? Projecting ROS performance is even more useless and essentially a masturbatory exercise.

[The Cats Ass]

That's too bad. It would be nice if Boxy had something to play for every year.

 

If only Boxy was in the Monte Cristo Division. He'd probably have a good chance at winning that division.

Not meaningless...means that I came up against the wrong team this week.

Every team comes up against the wrong team when they're facing dinger's juggernaut.

Yep, your pitching was 6 σ above the mean last week, 2nd best in the league.

[NorthOf49]

pick 56 available to anyone with a top-tier setup man available

You like Dale Thayer?

[Laika]

Yep, your pitching was 6 σ above the mean last week, 2nd best in the league.

 

Definitely wasn't 6 standard deviations better than average. I think his overall st.dev would just be his zscore sum / 7 (seven categories).

[Dr. Dinger]

Math.

[Fearthedoc]

Ryan Braun'd.

[Fearthedoc]

Also, after Moore gets TJS next week, I'll be in the market looking to add a SP.

[NorthOf49]

Felix Doubront has gas-canned his last game for me. If any of you rebuilding teams want to take a chance on a 26 year old with a career 4.02 xFIP, he's yours for a pick. Pre-emptive STFU to Dinger.

Looks like Porcello has finally pulled ahead for good
