I started typing out a ranking but couldn't get past #1. I'm baseball'd out

I think Goodfellas has the best team

As for my worst picks, kendrys & headley both pop 20

Earl is definitely the favorite again. His keeper set is too good.

Fair enough on Kendrys and Headley.

Upside was why I drafted Flores

He will hit if given ABs, but the glove may not afford him that opportunity.

Fun writeups

Definitely a better bat than Herrera, but I am not confident the glove will stick.

I could definitely be wrong if Flores hits 15 homers, but I also had trouble ripping on players drafted at like pick 400.

Earl had hands down the best team... probably for the past 3 years, and he probably still does. When he decided to keep Gallo and Russell, he opened the door for some of us.

Instead of using luck, we all have a legitimate chance even with his stacked steam. He went from stupid stacked, to just stacked.

Idk

Earl has a good team obviously but I don't think hands down. He hands down had the best keepers and like you said, could've been out of this world if he didn't waste two spots on guys who probably won't play in the bigs this year

Chisenhall and Lowrie are meh at 3B and SS. Snider and Khris Davis could end up on the wrong side of platoons. JD Martinez regresses. No hitting depth on the bench. Obviously most of his drafted hitters only have to supplement his keepers, but there are valid questions there.

For pitching, Darvish is an ace but his injury has become alarming. And it looks like he will be employing the reliever strategy to eat innings, which could work or turn sour quick. Also, A lot of his starters are teetering on that line of breakout or you are who we thought you were.

It will be an interesting year as there are a lot of good teams. As mills lane would say "let's get it on"

He traded away carlos Santanna and garrett Richards somewhere along the way bc I think he was short on picks. Didn't really have many options after that if I remember correctly

I thought Earl was in pretty decent shape with picks even before the trades. He dealt Bum and Santana to Port for a first and second and Garrett Richards to Lou for a sixth.

I really surprised he did not keep two of those guys. I remember Geaux saying he would not keep Gallo and then Earl proved him wrong.

Your team will compete. You may be on the wrong side of some 6-4 weeks more times than not though. Could end a few games +.500 or - .500 and I wouldn't be surprised.

Every team needs that guy who can carry them. You don't have a guarantee there, but it could be Puig or crash davis.

Werth, Byrd, Utley, mauer, cruz, weaver.. Those are guys you will need to rely on heavily, but I'm a skeptic on all of them
