Powers' Rankings: Week 1

And we're back! Another season in the books that literarily no one cares about now since the next season has officially started. Banners fly forever, but everyone lives in the present. How much did the MaDraft effect our rankings? How much of it is just adapting observations over the course of 3 months since the Winter Meeting? How much of it is basically just throwing darts? You're guess is as good as Fred's. [Fred is the office parrot.]

Let's take a look at where we stand headed into Week 1.

Even after a questionable draft, the Poo sit pretty as the favorites entering the season.

Seems appropriate the defending champs meet up gainst the top seed in these early rankings in Week. Hopefully they don't tie.

Santo Domingo
All-Star Factory
With one of the most well rounded offenses in the league, the Factory felt they could afford to use 5 of their 7 draft picks on bullpen help. Also, don;t look now, but Matt Harvey looks to be serviceable again.

Doggs
Boredom does silly things to a team during a draft. With 19 bats, the Doggs could single handedly roster the line up of that expansion team they've been pushing but will never get.

Having to settle for Ryan Braun, the Rockets may be poised to make some noise this year

Weasels
With one of the better drafts this year, the Weasels were much more competative than their 2017 season rankings had them. They should give teams pause when they match up each week.
