I can't say that I didn't see this coming, but here it is again.

I believe that these ratings ratings are based on the ratings of the players, not on where the team finished up in whatever offensive, defensive, or pitching categories last season. Plus, you have to consider this in comparison to the ratings of players on other teams.

For offense and defense, I think it's based on who is on the team's starting lineup at the moment. Pitching is both the rotation and bullpen.
In addition to my previous post, there are players who skew the ratings. Example: Switch Adrian Gonzalez out of the Padres lineup and move someone else there that is a middle-of-the-pack, average offensive first basemen, and they fall to 30th. Likewise, swap below average hitting Luis Rodriguez out of shortstop and put a Jhonny Peralta in his place, the Padres most likely would move up two or three spots on offense.

I wouldn't get too worked up over the rankings. Offensive and defensive ratings are dependent on who's starting and the individual player ratings matter more than team ratings.

You're right, I can't take it out on you. You guys have basement dwellers for years. I'm happy for you. But please have some sympathy for me. I was hardly able to use the Marlins last year b/c they were horrendous, I was hoping for middle of the road this year. And we lost our stadium vote today.

It is, but I can't put myself in anyone's shoe here. If for one thing, i'd overreact to the Padres not being 30th in everything. Heck, put them 90th in a list including the minor league teams.

Well, I don't have sympathy for you because preseason rankings are just that...preseason. Things could, and probably will, change with roster updates and from the hard work that Knight does. And you also have ability to go in and edit a few of your players yourself if you disagree with the ratings. I usually have to. There'll be one or two players whose speed or power or contract is way off from what I think it should be (especially for younger players). So a few clicks and BAM, problem solved. It's not that I disagree with your points about the Marlins roster, but I do think you got a little too worked up over an overall ranking...particularly one that can be easily adjusted.

All hail the ICEMAN, RAG. He has ice running through his veins, completely unaffected by rankings

Cry me a river, dude. The O's scored the 11th most runs in all of baseball last year and they've got our offense DEAD LAST!!!!!!!

The pitching? Yeah, that should be dead last, probably.

The defense is probably about right @ #14, but I think it'll be much better than that w/ Pie, Jones & Markakis in the outfield & Izturis @ SS...

But the offense and overall ranking? Please.
