Preseason Power Rankings

[Rockies GM (Dan)]

This is the first iteration of this list. The one I'll measure efficacy of the simulation against will be posted right before the season starts.

Roto-Ranking - This is based on how Fantrax does their own Power Rankings. Rank the teams by each individual stat. Best in the league scores 30 for that stat, worst scores 1. Add up all 12 stats and you get the roto-ranking

Z-Score Ranking - Found by taking the Z-Scores of each of the stats compared to the rest of the league. Add them up and that's the Z-Score Ranking. This is useful for determining just how much better than average the teams are in each category. A score of 0 would be average.

[Rangers GM (Victor)]

0.14% playoff chance... So you're telling me there's a CHANCE?!?

[Former Angels GM (Mike C.)]

hmm, last season

Arizona Diamondbacks 0.01% - made playoffs

Cincinnati Reds 3.92% - made playoffs, made World Series

There may only be 3 teams out of it.

[Rays GM (Donavan)]

Is it coincidence, or has trading picked up since the rankings were published.

Did it take Dan’s numbers and words for people to realise where there teams are at?, or were they all waiting for after the free agency period?

Dodger's were stuck and forget he wasn't finished trading, Dan just placed a board under his back tires.  He is good to go again.

[Tigers GM (Jason)]

Dan picking Kieboom as my breakout player gave him that extra value he needed to get a deal done.

PS: Dan I’d like to request a new breakout player

[Rockies GM (Dan)]

Kingmaker

[Diamondbacks GM (Ethan)]

9th in Power Rankings, but a <7% chance of making the playoffs. Screw you, NL West
