They're ranked 17th because they didn't make any changes to improve

Just because they won it all doesn't mean they should be the best team overall

With Garza, Shark being awesome last year and the signing of Edwin Jackson and couple other guys for starting and bullpen? I would take the Cubs pitching over 9 teams ahead of them (Col, Mil, Bal, Pit, Cle, Sea, SD, CWS, NYY). Ok....ahem.... I done. #27 overall I cant disagree with that too much so Im guessing the ranked the Cubs down low to make their overall rating. If their pitching was where it should be around 16th-17th then their overall should be around 19th-20th cuz their defense is strong. Oh...ahem...now Im done.

I'd agree that they are a bit underrated pitching wise, they were 24th in ERA last year and added quite a bit this year, but its understandable since I bet a lot of guys are rated pretty low on the 25 man roster in the game. But the "real" ratings will come out when the custom rosters are finished.

Looks like this is taking the farm into account since the cardinals have the best farm in baseball.

Hmm. With the starting rotation that the Tigers have, why are they 13th in Team Pitching? I know there's questions on the back end of the bullpen, but when you have studs like Verlander, Fister, Scherzer, and Sanchez, I think it balances that out. More than that, I think.

I have no idea where they came up with these rankings? The Red Sox, overall rating is 3? Where is the logic to this? Not to mention the Cardinals are 2nd. This is unreal, would love to know how they came up with these rankings.

OK, the only thing that surprises me, and honestly, I really dont care because I adjust them anyway, but Im surprised the Tigers are ranked #1 yet are so low in PIT & DEF. I guess BAT is the kicker here.
