Looking like an average kind of season

4th in the East. I don’t understand. I thought spending all that money this off season on debt made us better. So FF ignoring pitching depth, 4th outfielder, and signing old dudes with question marks didn’t make us the favorites. This list has to be rigged.

But we got all that value and stuff?

Being below the Mets is still funny to me. We'll be fine. AA definitely has been too conservative, but we'll be more than fine. I'd still add CK, though.

I wouldn't be worried. Signing Markakis will definitely allow us to use a lot of money elsewhere.

Where were we ranked last year?

We weren’t defending NL east champs last year. I don’t give a rats ass about MLB rankings personally. But it is another publication that thinks FF did a poor job building on what we accomplished last year.

from the article

Meanwhile, the NL East seems to be wide open, with the Braves, Phillies, Mets and Nationals all having improved from a year ago. The Phillies may be primed to take the biggest leap in the win column, after adding a crop of proven difference-makers in Bryce Harper, Jean Segura, J.T. Realmuto and Andrew McCutchen.

Our first Power Rankings of 2019 reflect the only concrete criteria available at this point -- how teams fared in '18, how much progress they made constructing their rosters during the offseason, and how healthy they are coming out of Spring Training
