1. Signed Compensation players get priority.
2. Offered Compensation that returned on Fallback are next.
3. Finally, any other remaining spots can be filled by other players who signed in Free Agency.

C Ray Castillo 92 LAS
Age 30 | Signed $13.0M for 4 Years

While I don’t love his defense, I think he can throw out more runners than in STL with more aggressive strategies. There are no issues with his bat. He has quality contact and power. For just $13M and only going 4 years, it’s a great signing for the A’s.

Proj.: .285 AVG, 20 HR, .820 OPS

1B Sean Stillman 89 ATL
Age 31 | Signed $8.0M for 2 Years

I’m a little surprised that he only went for the minimum Type B offer. While he was very forgettable last year, his 90+ power and eye suggests he can do better. I don’t expect him to return to 2119 numbers (however, the potential is there), I do see him getting back to more in line with his career averages.

Proj.: .260 AVG, 23 HR, .830 OPS

2B Jacob Dantford 83 PHI
Age 34 | Returned $8.0M for 2 Years

This was one of those “More power to you” Fallback offers. If this was after 2117, I could have seen him signing. However, he’s shown some regression and he’s no longer an elite steal threat (in fact, he gets caught stealing quite frequently now). He’s still useful, just not Compensation worthy any longer.

Proj.: .265 AVG, 35 SB, .645 OPS

3B Jake Poole 84 WSH
Age 28 | Signed $8.0M for 2 Years

His age can be deceiving. He looks solid, but he appears to have been declining for a few years now (though he recently staved off some decline with a random jump). Maybe people have turned to defensive studs at the hot corner and Poole fits the profile. I don’t expect him to be good offensively, but serviceable for what 3B has become in FCM.

Proj.: .255 AVG, 20 HR, .715 OPS

SS Kevin Stokes 89 LAS
Age 30 | Signed $8.0M for 2 Years

He appears to be on the downward slope of his career, but still possesses some power and range – making him still a starting option. Las Vegas is easier to hit in than Milwaukee, so even with some regression this season, I could see him putting up better numbers than in 2120.

Proj.: .190 AVG, 21 HR, .685 OPS

LF Allan Greening 90 ARI
Age 30 | Signed $8.0M for 2 Years

He’s had an interesting career. Many competing teams have wanted his services, but hardly any one has kept him for two full seasons. He has defense that can be tolerable, but without speed or range, he’s far from optimal. He’s shown a big time contact bat, but has lacked the power that most will strive for from a corner outfield bat. He just may thrive in the hitter friendly Arizona air.

Proj.: .320 AVG, 18 HR, .860 OPS

CF Ramon Minas 79 CHW
Age 31 | Signed $8.0M for 2 Years

I feel he’s borderline starter material and probably overpaid at $8M. However, as long as you’re aware that he’s in decline and far removed his peak performance, he’s not a terrible option. He’s still a nice contact bat with efficient base stealing ability and solid defense.

Proj.: .285 AVG, 20 SB, .685 OPS

RF Eric Howland 90 CHC
Age 29 | Signed $19.0M for 4 Years

I was surprised to see him sign for as much as he did. He could certainly be worth it – as shown last season, but he could also forget how to produce – as he did in 2118 and 2119.  Is he worth Type A? Sure. But, he’s been too inconsistent to justify nearly $80M.

Proj.: .280 AVG, 24 HR, 800 OPS

DH Bernie Henderson 91 SDP
Age 32 | Signed $19.0M for 3 Years

Continuing with the Howland signing, I was surprised to see Henderson go for less than Howland. Not because he was my guy and I wanted the top Type A pick, but because Henderson has been the more consistent bat. Certainly, Howland wins the defense debate. Henderson is a guy that you’d only put in the field vs LHP in order to rotate the DH spot for rest purposes. Still, an upper .800s OPS is far better to me as a DH than a low .800s OPS with decent defense.

Proj.: .290 AVG, 30 HR, .875 OPS
 
Bench OF Ivan Espinoza 84 MIN

Age 29 | Signed $600K for 1 Year

I feel it’s worthwhile selecting one bench player for the Free Agent team. Since the corner outfielders lack optimal defense, I’m choosing an extra outfielder. Espinoza brings decent enough speed along with a great arm and great range. His bat would suffice, as he’s shown solid contact ability.

Proj.: .275 AVG, 8 HR, .755 OPS (in 400 PA)

SP1 Gil McGruder 94 ATL
Age 36 | Signed $14.0M for 2 Years

It was probably his age that kept him from Type A and I think it would have been interesting to see if someone would have made a bid on him as a Type A. He’s still got some great strikeout ability and has top notch movement. The questions will be; how long until he starts seeing adrop off in skills and how quickly will he degrade? At just two years, he seems like a bargain and a good bet to be a reliable piece of Atlanta’s rotation.

Proj.: 3.50 ERA, 1.05 HR/9, .230 OBA

SP2 Ric Eldred 84 BAL
Age 34 | Returned $16.0M for 2 Years

Him returning probably suggests that no, teams would not have paid Type A money for McGruder. Maybe it’s the age and decline with Eldred, because I think talent-wise he was worth bidding on. With a good GB% and track record, people can do (and have done) worse in FA. I look for another strong season from Eldred.

Proj.: 3.50 ERA, 1.00 HR/9, .250 OBA

SP3 Rob Brown 86 LAD
Age 32 | Returned $8.0M for 2 Years

This seems like a guy who would have signed in years past. He’s not great, but he’s a reliable innings eater with solid vitals and a good GB%. Maybe it’s the financial strain that many are feeling in the league or maybe it’s no one was looking for a bottom of the rotation starter to round out their top five.

Proj.: 4.20 ERA, 1.20 HR/9, .250 OBA

SP4 Brian Jones 81 DET
Age 29 | Signed $8.0M for 2 Years

He has a chance to be a value signing. I was surprised that he wasn’t better in Cleveland. While he does appear to be declining already, he still has some solid vitals to go along with a nice GB%. He normally keeps the ball in the yard, if he can do that, I think he can regain some of the form he showed with the Angels.

Proj.: 4.30 ERA, 0.90 HR/9, .260 OBA

CL Austin Morris 79 WSH
Age 30 | Returned $8.0M for 2 Years

I’m never surprised with relievers return on Fallback. Unless they’re dominant, it’s a tough sell to spend $8M on a position that’ll normally throw less than 100 innings. Morris is a quality reliever in FCM, make no doubt about that, but with his home run problem, he can just as easily sport a low 3’s ERA as he could a low 4’s ERA.

Proj,: 3.70 ERA, 1.35 HR/9, .250 OBA

SU Ryan Toops 80 LAS
Age 36 | Signed $4.0M for 2 Years

This is more of a reflection of how poor the reliever market was than Toops being a top option in Free Agency. I don’t think he’s as bad as last year, but I definitely don’t see him returning to his pre-2119 form either. He’s a guy who’ll be effective enough with a good GB% and solid strikeout ability.

Proj,: 4.00 ERA, 1.15 HR/9, .250 OBA

MR Travis Heavener 79 FLA
Age 31 | Signed $3.0M for 2 Years

It’s a crapshoot on how he’ll perform. He was very reliable in Cleveland and then a sizeable drop happened. He still has a nice GB% and 70+ power for a sub-30 Endurance reliever helps what appear to be unimpressive vitals. Much like Toops, I think he’ll be serviceable, but nothing much more.

Proj.: 4.20 ERA, 1.15 HR/9, .240 OBA

Top 5 Commentary: Arod may have walked into a very good situation. Detroit has a killer rotation and a quality lineup. Some moves will need to be made to shore up some of the weaknesses. I have a good feeling about Philly and their deep lineup + rotation combo. Of course you can't count out Texas, Toronto, or New York.

Most Overrated: Seattle Mariners - It was tough to find a team I really thought was overrated. It was a toss up between Seattle and Washington, but Seattle's bullpen takes the cake. It'll be the reason they don't make the playoffs if HB doesn't add one or three.

Most Underrated: St. Louis Cardinals - They could use some more depth in the bullpen and on the bench, but the rotation and lineup great. They'll make the playoffs and I don't think they'll have much of a problem either.]]> Poll Info: http://www.firstclassmogul.com/showthread.php?tid=9594

AL East
The Yankees are balanced from top to bottom and have solid depth. But you surely can't count of the Jays, though I do think Toronto is starting to lose a step pitching wise. Good thing for Toronto fans is that Andy is rejuvenating the lineup. Expect the other three teams to be out of contention by May 1st.

AL Central
These formulas just love the Twins. Every year Minnesota seems to be a letdown. The addition of Bill Doucet should be huge. Look for this team to finally be legitimate contenders. JHC always seem to worry (like a 13 year old girl) if he'll be a contender or not. As long as you have Aitkenhead and Trembath/Conyers, So-Chi will be competitors. The big question will be how long can the Stang-less Tigers hold up? Well, look no further than recent history where the vacant Dodgers made the playoffs a year ago and a tied up DJ saw his Astros win a World Series in '23 without much attention. Will Detroit be the next team to inexplicably have success without a GM?

AL West
All of the ALW teams rank in the bottom half. It looks to be WIDE open this year. Texas still has some solid pieces to contend in the division. Sean's Angels are another year progressed towards winning and have a solid 1-2-3 punch in the rotation. Surprisingly HB's Mariners could have a shot. The team actually has some competent pitching this year. I have to agree with the poll that the A's have the worst shot at the division. They still have a few good players, but the pitching depth is pretty weak.

NL East
The Marlins are still the incumbent team to beat in the East, but look out for the Braves. Piazza went ape shit crazy this off-season and could have the lowly Braves quickly turned around. The Nationals are also to be taken very seriously. They have a great core and just need to put it all together. Even the Mets still have a shot with all of their balance. All of this talk of competition in the East makes you wonder, "Where the Phuck is Filly?"

NL Central
Houston is still the favorite, but the good news is their minor leagues don't have a plethora of talent...right now. The Reds clearly have the best lineup in the entire league, but depth is a huge concern. If injuries hit, you can stick a fork in Cincinnati. There just seems to be something lacking with the Brewers. A couple more pieces and they could be contenders. Usually, I agree with Peter's underrated players. However, as quickly as the Pirates found success, they are already falling off. They're breaking in a lot of new players this season while Alderson and Vaio can't stay healthy and Beavan is far into regression.

NL West
Let's get one thing straight. The Dodgers run a year ago was a complete fluke. I know Mav went out and made some solid moves, but there's no reason to believe this isn't a two team race. Colorado is making a bold move by signing Ryan Christner to a large contract and converting him to SP. You either love the move or hate it. Colorado also still has a great threat offensively with Brand, Rabena, and Gamora. Not to be outdone, Arizona signed Vernon Duarez and Jamie Valdez. Arizona's Achilles Heel is probably the bullpen. There's talent there, but a few of them whose prime has long since passed.]]> Poll Info: http://www.firstclassmogul.com/showthread.php?tid=9594

Top 5 Commentary: Led by off-season signing Adrian Curry, the Yankees are the hottest team in baseball. Some other familiar faces in Florida and Toronto, but atop the list are also the Nationals and Reds. Cincy is easily no joke and Washington has a good young core. It'll be interesting to see if they can keep this up.

Most Overrated: Los Angeles Dodgers - There's a few good players on the team, but it's still mostly a bunch of bench and Triple-A players holding the team over during the rebuild. Eventually they'll fall out of grace.

Most Underrated: Colorado Rockies - It may be too much of a hole to make the playoffs, but no way this team is that bad. The young players are a year older and a year better while veterans were added to improve the team.]]> Poll Info: http://www.firstclassmogul.com/showthread.php?tid=9594

Top 5 Commentary: Replaced Detroit with Baltimore and we might have the best five true contenders. It's interesting that Florida has both the lowest runs scored and runs allowed. When it comes playoff time, which will give first?

Most Overrated: Baltimore Orioles - I'm not as down on them as most seem to be in the CBox, but their Sim #6 schedule ended with three sub-.500 teams. They have bats that will work in their home run park, but pitching is a question. I think they could make the playoffs, but without better pitching it'll be an early exit.

Most Underrated: Colorado Rockies - Other than five games against the Padres and Giants (both in the first week of the month), all of my Rockies' other opponents this month were .500 or better. With a stretch like that treading around .500 and staying in the playoff race are important. The additions of Elless and Aitkin, should mean more wins are to be expected in the upcoming sims.

Additional Notes: So far my overrated/underrated teams from the pre-season are panning out. As we've seen St. Louis does have a good pitching staff, but also has one of the worst run producing offenses in the NL. As for my other pick, Pittsburgh, they've played as expected. They have been helped by some re-tooling of the Cubs and subpar play by the Astros. However, they have five players on pace for 20+ home runs and the pitching staff looks fine.]]> Poll Info: http://www.firstclassmogul.com/showthread.php?tid=9594

Top 5 Commentary: It's take your pick at #1 with either Toronto or Florida. I'll take the Jays with the slightly better offensive attack. But don't count out central powers; Houston, Detroit, or the Cubbies. You have to think two of these usual powerhouses will meet in the World Series, but will someone else make an '22 Oakland-like run in the playoffs?

Most Overrated: St. Louis Cardinals - I feel Minnesota is a bit overrated in these as well, but they are more believable with a strong rotation and bullpen. St. Louis just doesn't have the offense needed to compete in the NL Central.

Most Underrated: Pittsburgh Pirates - Peter does a good job of finding players that produce and Mogul simply views overall ratings. This team will produce better than the average team this poll has them labeled.]]> Poll Info: http://www.firstclassmogul.com/showthread.php?tid=9594

The plan is to do a Pre-Season, June, July, August (July 31 sim), and September power poll. The Pre-Season poll will have a different formula than the regular season polls. I know doing one for each sim would be great, but it seems whenever people try to do these each sim, they get burnt out. So I'll let a few sims go by before creating our first real power poll and then issue them out once a month.

Pre-Season Formula: (Lineup x .30) + (Bench x .10) + (Defense x .15) + (Rotation x .30) + (Bullpen x .15)

Regular Season Formula: ([Wins + Last 20 Wins + Runs Scored Per Game / 2] - [Losses + Last 20 Losses + Runs Allowed Per Game / 2] + or - [Streak / 10]+ [(SoD - .5) x 50]) / [Games Played] + [Pythagorean - .5]
