The Rick
Pitching:
Having 3 closers bumped rick to 3 balls. Darvish going down is killer, but he still has Greinke, Iwakuma, and Ryu. Solid enough, probably wouldve gotten 4 balls with a healthy darvish. Kimbrel is top tier, and McGee could be sneaky good. Other than that, his pitching is mediocre.
Hitting:
Needs bounce backs from Kipnis, Wright, Choo, Davis and Rosario. This team wouldve looked like the T-skins if this were last offseason. Betts, idk, Ortiz is old AF but still swinging, and Duda could get him 30. Werth already hurt. These hitters are all over the place. Could go well, or could crash and burn,
Season Prediction: Meh
-------------------
Goodfellas
Pitching:
I see Kluber as the only real sure thing here, especially with Cobb and his new found forearm tightness. A lot of upside guys, though. Just can't bump him up until Bauer, Hutchinson, Greene take that step. Stroman going down hurts and if Cobb ends up being worse than we thought, all bets are off. Closer situation will be one to monitor here as Feliz has sucked the past few years. Giles will be a stud if he gets that job, and Cishek is solid as hell.
Hitting:
I'll go 3 balls here for the upside, namely Yelich, Polanco, and Baez. What will they bring this season? Goldy, Rendon, and Dickerson are 3 studs to build around. Altuve, sure, if you like that kind of thing. Crawford and Kendry Morales would be nice to have 5 years ago. Earl's team is built on breakouts, both hitting and pitching. He could have a nice year or be towards the bottom.
Season Prediction: Meh
--------------------
Cajun Sox
Pitching:
Gausman and Martinez could be studs, but at this point, they are question marks. Hughes needs to prove he's here to stay, and Burnett and Anibal need to prove they arent regressing like they showed last season. Just too many question marks for me to get behind this staff.
Hitting:
Hitting is a little bit better here. Tulo can carry an offense when healthy. Carter flashed that 40 HR potential. Marte, Calhoun, and Blackmon all provide numbers across the 5 cats. Some upside with Adams, Gyorko and Boegarts. Not a bad offense at all.
Season Prediction: Pretender

Barry
Pitching:
Not crazy about the starters, but a decent bullpen bumped you up to 3 balls. 3 spots for 2 closers and David/Miller, though. Could be a problem. Starting pitching leaves a lot to be desired outside of Hamels and Lynn. Smyly could be good, but I want to see it first. Some nice MiLB arms but they probably wont contribute this season.
Hitting:
Grats, you will win steals every week going away. Team should have nice balance on O if Bryant and Tomas are what people think. 4 3B is worrisome, espcially with nowhere to put Arenado and Tomas. A few trades and your lineup could sit nicely. Im going back and forth with Meh or Contender, for now I will say...

Pitching:
No real solid ace here until Richards proves healthy. A bunch of potential, though. Some nice arms who could make the leap to nice SPs.
Hitting:
A lot of meh offensively. CarGo will need to stay healthy to carry the offense. Could compete with the middle to bottom teams, though.
Season Prediction: Pretender
--------------------
PCT
Pitching:
Three competitive arms who are reliable and 3 closers garner you 3 balls. SP depth is worrisome. Reed and Rondon arent guaranteed to be closing come the ASB. We will see what happens
Hitting:
A group of solid hitters who will compete every week. We will watch Kemp/Weiters health, Pedroia and Pedro's rebound, and will Pearce and Brantley regress on what was probably career years. Jennings? Some nice bench depth that a lot of team dont have.
Season Prediction: Pretender

Boo
Pitching:
Hey, I like your staff. Scherzer and Cueto on the frontline, Fiers, McHugh and deGrom bringing up the rear. Chapman in the pen. Clippard could take that job in OAK. Not too bad, You should be good in pitching.
Hitting:
Im looking at hitting and I want to know, who will carry my team? This offense could prove to be pesky, but I dont see it competing with the big dawgs of the league. Id say Seager is your best bat, and while he is good, I think you need a little more POP as a top bat. Can Hosmer break out?

Giraffe just totally disrespected the team with the best record in the league last year.
