It wouldn't (confused) this is just what the author thinks are the funnest teams to use this year.

Miami being that low is a bit of a joke. Where are the holes in that lineup? When Jose Fernandez gets back, that rotation can compete with anyone. And how is the reason for the low ranking that "they do they not have depth?" Bullpen is solid, rotation is again, solid and the lineup is extremely balanced with ridiculous speed, ridiculous power and youth. Just don't see them being that low. And yes, in agreement with everyone else, the Cubs at 2 is the funniest thing I've read all offseason.

Just read your "non-traditional rankings" comment and now it makes sense. I agree completely now and commend you on a good list. I personally think Miami is still going to be a bit more fun to play with than the credit given but I can see them sitting at the current spot. Either way, good read.

Is the rankings list from the actual video game, or where did they come up with this?

It is from the writers point of view not from the game.

Lol @ the power rankings. I'm sorry man, but Cubs #2? They'll be lucky to be above .500 IMO

Here's why:

They have two good proven offensive players in Castro & Rizzo.
One average OF'er in Fowler. Average C in Montero
Unproven talent in RF(Soler), 2B(Baez), 3B(Bryant/?)
Couldn't even name their LF.

One above average starter in Lester.
A potential above average starter in Arrieta, but has only proven it in 150 innings last year, far from a sure & proven thing.
& then a bunch of average to below average pitchers to round out the rotation.

The 2015 Cubs may be the most overrated, overhyped team in the history of sports, period

Please read the whole thread. Because the writer came in and said that this list is pretty much a list of the most "fun" teams to play with.
