7. Team Hiltacular
Hitting Rank - 6
Pitching Rank - 9
Hilt is a little light on the power side, but should be competitive in everything else. There isn't a whole lot of upside when looking at this offense, but hilt knows what he's going to get, besides maybe from Chris Davis.
Scherzer will be the 2nd best pitcher in the league this year, and could even push Kershaw a little bit. Outside of him, there is Iwakuma who is legit, but then you look and see Verlander and Sabathia and you just ask yourself why. The relief is also some of the worst in the league with just Papelbon and Hawkins. Not an ideal team for a keeper league, but will finish middle of the pack and push for a playoff spot.

The offense is pretty old. Okay, it is realllllly old. It'll be good enough to win 1-2 hitting categories each week, but that isn't good enough most of the time.
Pitching is much better, and has a bunch of depth. Getting Grienke in the draft was a steal as he's a legit #1. Behind him with Harvey, Samardzijia, and Teheran is a group that is one of the best in the league. But, he missed the draft and has no saves at all which brings his rank down. Unless he can find some waiver wire gems or makes a trade or two, he will lose that category each week.

Hitting Rank - 10
Pitching Rank - 2
TH03's team was the biggest surprise to me when looking at it. The offense isn't very good but there are some upside plays to go along with a team that is very old. Not a lot of pop and not a lot of SBs, but should actually be okay in the counting stats. Plus he has Prado
The pitching is legit with Lester, Cueto, and Zimmerman could all classify as fantasy #1's. Ryu and Latos provide stability and Eovaldi is a great upside play. Holland and K Rod is a solid duo at the back end. If TH03 actually checks his team and works on his offense a little, the pitching is good enough to carry the team into the playoffs.

Hitting Rank - 4
Pitching Rank - 5
As you see from the rankings, this is a pretty balanced team. SBs and Runs might be a weakness at times, but the pop is there. Springer might be a make or break on the team that could push the team into one of the best offenses if he brings the numbers, but if he doesn't, the offense could also dip down to the lower half of the league.
No surprise when looking at the team why the pitching is so high, he has 2 of the top 5 starting pitchers with King Felix and Stras. You'd like another starter here but that is easy to find. He also went with the Rolldat strategy of stockpiling relievers, so unless he's playing Roll, he'll lock up saves each week.

Hitting Rank - 2
Pitching Rank - 4
The offense plays, really really well. I have him ranked in the top 3 of the league in each category besides SB, and even there he is good enough to win a lot of weeks. There really isn't a weakness here. Have some upside plays with Gattis, Bogaerts, and Martin to go along with reliable options that have results year in and year out.
The pitching is almost equally as good with Kershaw and Sale leading the way. Outside of those two I'm not a huge huge fan of the rest of the starting pitching, but there is stability there with Gio, Cashner, Odorizzi, and Tillman. The relief pitching won't blow you away, but there are save opportunities there.

Hitting Rank - 5
Pitching Rank - 1
As much as I want to be biased, I just couldn't fudge the numbers enough to be ranked #1. I'm a little disappointed with my offense post draft but there is enough pop and speed to win the majority of the offensive categories each week. If everything falls in line, that 5 ranking could change to 2 or 3 but that is counting on a majority of my players to repeat their career years from last year. Tough task to ask.
A lot won't agree with my pitching ranking, but I love my rotation. I have Arrieta, Hamels, and Ross ranked in my top 20 with Fiers, Shoemaker and Hughes in the top 30 this year. Peavy provides some stability incase Fiers or Shoemaker flame out. The relief is there and should be among the top in the league if they can stay healthy.

1. Roll Dat Roll
Hitting Rank - 1
Pitching Rank - 3
Not much to say here that everyone else doesn't already know. Roll is the heavy favorite to take the crown and quite honestly it shouldn't even be close. I mean Trout, McCutchen, Stanton, Rizzo, Cano, Desmond, Soler, Dickerson. This isn't fricking fair.
He'll take saves every week with by far the best group in the league. The starting pitching could use some work, but Roll is a good manager and knows what he's doing. Carrasco and Wood are legit. Shields and Lynn provide stability. Paxton, Hutchinson, and Norris provide upside. He won't sweep the pitching categories like he will hitting, but he'll do well enough to balance out that historic offense.
Good luck to everyone this year. And once again, frick you Roll.

Nice work, Swamps.
I would have R2R higher though. The defending champ should be in the top 6 for sho. Posted on 3/28/15 at 3:18 pm to RollDatRoll
Hey man. I appreciate the love. 6 is def much better than I thought. I did miss the draft so I'm fricked on saves.
And my guys r so old its frustrating.
So. If anyone wants to trade with me for old farts who could help you out let me know.
Oh and Roll I paid. I still owe you for Moneyball right?

I'm in tchamp2's yahoo league and we still need a few more guys. It was the best league I was in last year.The draft is Thursday at 7pm CST. I might have found someone from one of my other fantasy leagues. I'm still waiting to hear back from him. tchamp2, did you consider starting a separate thread here about the league?
Posted on 3/28/15 at 7:20 pm to Dave7
I have no doubt about tchamp running a good league. I'm just in too many leagues right now as it is. I don't think I could pull off another.
Posted on 3/28/15 at 7:24 pm to Dave7
tchamp2. I heard back from the guy I was talking about in my last post. He's in. Check your email for his email so you can send him an invite.
Posted on 3/29/15 at 1:27 pm to Dave7
Cool. I got your email. I'll send him an invite shortly.

Down to 4 that are unpaid. Those 4 are TH03, Whitie, R2R, and LSUfreak.
Posted on 4/1/15 at 3:32 pm to RollDatRoll
I texted LSUfreak to pay.
Posted on 4/1/15 at 4:17 pm to SwampDonks
Thanks. I see his payment. Down to 3 now.
