Ok, comments.

First off, the overall ratings are very close in total. The only ones that I would say are significantly lower than the rest are Jeep and Hawk.

The overall ratings at a little over the halfway point are close overall with the glaring exception of Hawk. Keyzick is a bit high and Stoney is a bit low. Big A is prolly a little low too.

On offense, Big M and Keyzick are higher than expected with Jeep too low and NP a bit too high.

Pitching, the glaring exception is Hawk. No way a team spending the third lowest amount on Pitching with average D should be anywhere near the top. Clearly an anomoly. Keyzick paid a good amount for his pitching (third most) but his D and usage indicate that they should be lower than they are performing. Big M and Stoney's pitching are a bit low.

So, the ratings are actually pretty close with the notable exception of Hawk's pitching. His one run record has also helped him so far. Smokey is the only notable one run loss "loser".

Ratings would say that Big M should win the West, Burgundy the East and that the Central (the toughest division) will be a 3 team dogfight. (Big A has a tough row to hoe in that div)

The West is the softest division (by the ratings) and I would expect that Hawk's pitching will come back to earth. That being said, his division is pretty weak offensively which probably plays into his overperformance.

The WC should probably come out of the Central, but you can't count out Beach, NP, Stoney and Keyzick. Ratings would say that Big A probably won't contend there.

Ok, comparing that to the actuals.

Keyzick is a surprise in the East due to their pitching. We'll see if that continues. Burdundy is about where expected. NP and Beach are about right too, in position to threaten.

Central is dead on.

West - already beat a dead Horse with a Hawk. Big M is making his run. Stoney should come up some and Jeep is about right.

Ok, tell me what the ratings about your team (Hawk, Keyzick mostly) Big M, tell me if you think your offense isn't over peforming. You did spend a lot of money on your lineup.

Interesting....2 of the 3 first place teams are in the bottom 3 of the ratings (me and Nythawk)... :?

[joethejet]

Keyzick, see above. I think there's a pretty good case for why Hawk is so high (and should fall). Less clear in your case.

sorry jeep...

[superflymacdaddyjuice]

surely one of the best renditions of NLD in a while.. ultra competitive. it is not surprising the ratings are so close to the actual.

[joethejet]

Wow, no other comments on the ratings? You guys are letting me down.

Hi Joe,

As always, thanks for your time in doing the ratings! I for one love reading them and then disagreeing with them! :P

Honestly though, I've been speechless to be rated top overall. I don't think I've ever achieved that before, and am concerned that it spells doom for my squad (which I liked a lot even before I read your ratings 8-) )!

Can't wait to see how this one plays out.

Stoney, I think you're better than you've played. Your pitching just isn't this bad, but I don't think you're going to score runs. With those top three SPs and a deep pen, you should be better than middle of the pack in runs given up.

Big A, I think your biggest problem is that you're in a deep division. You're close to .500 out of the division. Both your O and D are a little bit under so I would expect things to get a little better, but maybe not enough to get over the hump.

Big M, Well, a big part of your high rating is your very good D. Which, as we've discussed before, is the most volatile portion of the rating. But, your pitchingis the best even without the fielding and your hitting just a little below average so you're pretty solid. Sorry that your rating is so high. ;) I just put the numbers in, it's not really a judgement thing. Guess you'll have to prove me wrong. ;)
