2018 Power Rankings (Pre-FA)

[Yankees GM (Justin)]

I used Steamer Projections to calculate the levels at which every team would produce R, RBI, HR, QS etc. I then calculated the expected winning report similar to how I did the mid-season weekly reports.

[Orioles GM (Jeff)]

I'm obviously happy with these results...but I don't trust them because somehow your offense is supposed to outproduce mine...which I don't think anyone could argue is feasible.

[Yankees GM (Justin)]

These are Steamer projections on everyone in your system. Since there's no feasible way to limit the results to your 25 or xx best players, all of my prospects are accounted for while you only have about 20 players on offense total.
