interestingly enough, the ratings like the Sombreros to win the East. I predict that your predictions will *all* be wrong. ;)

Although, I have to say that the Biters will be right there and it would go either way. I do expect the Biters pitching/Def to drop. They are overperforming currently.

The West is definitely the weakest division. I did these ratings before that last bit of moves and those moves have undoubtedly reduced the ratings of all the other three teams in my division. when I get a chance I'll update those ratings.

East is probably the toughest division.

Godzillas have majorly underperformed their rating up to now. Mostly because their Pitching/D should have been much better even in that park.

With their moves, I don't think you're going to see such a big gap.

The Express is the biggest surprise with both their O and D overperforming, they've jumped from a middle of the pack team to the top.

My Stick and Bang are also doing better than expected. Bang, because they are winning the close games, not as sure about Stick. Probably it's just that they've been lucky on the Defensive X-Chart.

Most everyone else is close although Sombrero shuld probably be a bit better and 4 inches should be lower. They are far and away the weakest team in the league (at least before the recent moves by Nickname and Machine).

Big differnce is 4 inches just haven't produced on O as would be expected.
Our squad is a bit over producing.

Godzilla's pitching is the biggest reason for his under performing, but I don't think picking up Santana for Hudson in that park is going to make the difference.

Do your overall ratings take into account the injury factor? Cause the Sombreros have a lot of feminine players who enjoy taking days off for swollen mammaries. Much like the owner of the Bang.

I'm scared to check my team on a daily basis. Not sure I'm excited about my "injury" team.

Jack Cust will pepper your kidneys will rabbit punches next time he sees you.

The ratings do take into account injuries, but if you have more or less than the statisical probability that will, obviously, affect your real performance. I hadn't looked at the injuries to see if it has had a negative impact.

Good point.

Any other comments? Come on guys, there has to be more than this! :(

Hey Guys,

Well, the forum kind of died out. Too bad. Just thought I'd review the ratings vis-a-vis what happened. I didn't keep them up-to-date with the moves, but let's look anyway.

My stick is the only team to sneak into the playoffs, nudging out the ratings favorite Sobrero. The difference was in close games it would appear. Also his pitching/D was better than expected.

Godzilla rebuilt his team and his rating dropped quite a bit after that. I just never posted it. The Fighters under performed, but Bang, Fury, Nickname and Machines were not too unexpected in their results.

In sum, I usually have one team that over peforms (in this case Biters) and one that under performs (Fighters)

If anyone is out there still, we can talk the more detailed numbers.

As a side note, we had a tough break last night losing Bonds for the first two PO games even though I had removed him from the lineups. Hal chose to PH him and he got hurt. Bad break for us there. :(
