For a long time we have been wildly inconsistent with when we release power rankings. That's all about to change for the better! The reason it always took longer than it should and was so hard to do was that writing in depth looks at 30 teams that constantly change is damn hard and we all have things to do. Now we are presenting a NEW methodology:
- 3 times per year (pre-winter meetings, opening day, just after our trade deadline) the four commissioners will all rank the 30 teams and write up 7-8 teams.
- The Power Rankings are an average of all 4 rankings, so hopefully nothing insane rank wise high or low.
- We are open to taking a rotating 5th power ranker to get in on the fun every time on a volunteer basis.
- We are not going to post each person's individual lists to avoid personal issues lol, (We now have some extra data to go with them though
)
- We are now releasing them in a series of posts instead of one mega long post to encourage discussion and making it more manageable to read.
Day 1: Opening (this post), AL East
Day 2: AL Central, AL West
Day 3: NL East, NL Central
Day 4: NL West, Full List + Interesting stats
Part one will be up later this morning covering.... enjoy!
