#20 Knat
Player Most Likely to Blow up: Anthony Rendon
Player Most Likely to Disappoint: Taijuan Walker
If I owned this team, I would:
1. Move Matt Harvey as soon as he shows signs of life.
2. Get whatever you can for all players that are in or past their prime.
3. Acquire as many prospects and draft picks as possible.
Synopsis: This team has no star power whatsoever. I like Baez and Rendon as core pieces, but they need to take the next step in their development. I do believe that Rendon does that this year. Knat has always been higher than most on Odubel Herrera and Steven Souza. Decent players, but not the type of hitters than can carry you in any given week. The pitching staff lacks a true ace. Most doubt that Harvey will ever be close to the same pitcher he was, and Taijuan Walker moving from Safeco Field to Chase Field isn’t good news at all. It’s gonna be a long year for this squad. Best chance for the franchise is to push for the future.
Odds of Making Playoffs: 500-1

Must say, I like where you are going with this.

#19 Barry
Player Most Likely to Blow up: Alex Bregman
Player Most Likely to Disappoint: Aaron Judge
If I owned this team, I would:
1. Move Adam Jones to a contender looking for a veteran (MWG?).
2. Entertain offers for Kris Bryant or Bregman, but focus on getting two really good pieces for each in return, not 3-4 meh players and some shitty draft pick.
3. Move a young OF (Judge, Renfroe, Frazier, Zimmer, O’Brien) for a young middle infielder.
Synopsis: As much as I like the 1-2 punch of Bregman and Bryant, I would look long and hard about breaking them up for the greater good. Adam Jones isn’t going to bring back enough SP help to fix that staff, and the arms in the farm aren’t going to be ready to contribute any time soon. I also have doubts that some of those arms will ever be a factor. Brandon Phillips shouldn’t be rostered in this league, much less starting.

Player Most Likely to Blow up: Jorge Soler
Player Most Likely to Disappoint: Adam Eaton
If I owned this team, I would:
1. Get a subscription to milb.com
2. Acquire a future 1B
3. Fap and nap through 2017.
Synopsis: It’s no secret what I’m trying to do here. While there are still a couple of holes I’d like to fill looking forward to next season and beyond, I like what I was able to acquire during my massive rebuild. The most important thing for me to remember is that I can’t count on every prospect I have to pan out. Dusty Baker can't decide what to do with his lineup (SHOCKING), and Adam Eaton will be the one to hurt the most because of it, particularly if he is hitting sixth or some shite. The good news is that the SPs aren't half bad with Cole, Duffy, and Porcello up front. The key will be Alex Reyes getting healthy and for the young bats to develop. It would be a pleasant surprise to contend in 2018, but 2019 is more in line for my plans.

Player Most Likely to Blow up: Carlos Rodon
Player Most Likely to Disappoint: Brad Miller
If I owned this team, I would:
1. Trade Evan Gattis to a contending team looking for a catcher (Boo or Papz?)
2. Trade Brad Miller for OF help.
3. Put the RP on the block and see what kinda offers you get.
Synopsis: This team just isn’t quite good enough to contend, imo. It lacks in HR, RBI, SB, K/9 for starters. No real strength in any category either. It’s just gonna be hard to win most weeks with that kind of formula. The good news is that there are some young guys that will be up soon. Might as well move Gattis now with Hedges AND Alfaro waiting in the wings. I’m still not totally sold on Brad Miller repeating last year, and he’s losing SS eligibility next year. Move him now before his stock goes to total shite. Decent SP pieces in Rodon, Gausman, Roark, Velasquez. This team could contend next year, but 2019 is more likely.

#16 CWill
Player Most Likely to Blow up: Christian Yelich
Player Most Likely to Disappoint: Michael Pineda
If I owned this team, I would:
1. Cross fingers that Puig finally gets his shite together.
2. Take a wait and see approach before making any moves (he’s already doing this).
3. Be a free agency/waiver wire hawk to build stronger bench.
Synopsis: This would be a fun team to own. Tons of options, really. Probably not quite ready to be a contender, but if everything falls the right way (Puig becomes the player Will thought he drafted, Bellinger fills the current void at 1B, Wong bounces back from terrible 2016, Benintendi/Bogaerts/Mazara continue to develop), we could be looking at a VERY dangerous lineup. As much as I used to hate on Yelich, I’m a firm believer in him now, and I think he is in for a monster year. On the pitching side, Archer leads the bunch and Will is gonna need him to be more consistent than he was last year. I don’t trust Pineda at all. Pretty decent bullpen. At the end of the day, I think there are just TOO many things that have to go right this year for Will to be a true contender, but this will be a team to watch in 2018.

#15 CQQ
Player Most Likely to Blow up: Matt Moore
Player Most Likely to Disappoint: Jung Ho Kang
If I owned this team, I would:
1. Beat swamie to death with a 6-iron.
2. Make a decision either way on going for it or rebuilding (I’d lean towards rebuilding after the swamie trade/Reyes injury).
3. Move some of those prospect 1B for other pieces. Jesus, dude.
Synopsis: This team was fringe playoff caliber before trading away Scherzer. While I didn’t have a problem with the trade per se (Scherzer , Vogt, Oh for Reyes, Posey, Rondon), it probably wasn’t really necessary. When you factor in that he lost Reyes to TJ just days later, it’s a catastrophic trade. This team still has a potentially decent lineup, although Kang comes with too many on and off field question marks for my liking. Curious to see how JBJ does after his breakout last year, and which Carlos Gomez are we gonna get? The new ace of the staff with the departures of Scherzer and Reyes is now Drew Pomeranz, and here lies the problem. Bullpen will be ok, but the starters just aren’t talented enough to lift this team enough.

#14 TTT
Player Most Likely to Blow up: Starling Marte
Player Most Likely to Disappoint: Tyler Skaggs
If I owned this team, I would:
1. Like CQQ, decide if I am going for it or rebuilding (I’d also lean rebuild here due to the pitching)
2. If rebuilding, move pieces like Abreu, Bautista, Gordon for pitching and young OF help.
3. Consider moving Semien for a piece or two, since you have Adames almost up.
Synopsis: The good news is that the offense is decent enough to pick up 4-5 categories most weeks. The bad news is that the pitching lacks the punch necessary to consider this team a contender. It just has too many question marks, and not enough recent history of success. Lynn, Cobb, Tillman, and Ryu are all injury risks, and while Skaggs has potential, he hasn’t shown me he can do it in the show. TTT will need some luck on the staff if he’s gonna make any noise.

Based on early returns, Hansen could be the steal of the 2016 Draft. A candidate to go No. 1 overall heading into his junior season at Oklahoma, he was banished to the bullpen when his control fell apart. The White Sox still liked his pure stuff enough to take him in the second round and sign him for $1.2 million -- after which he recorded a 1.32 ERA, a .133 opponents' average and 81 strikeouts in 54 2/3 innings while reaching low Class A.
When Hansen has his best stuff and can locate it in the strike zone, he looks like a frontline starter. His fastball sits at 94-97 mph and reaches 99 with running life, and he backs it up with a mid-80s slider with late tilt. His hard curveball is a solid third option, and he'll even flash at least an average changeup.
