SHAVERMETRICS 2017

[Pat]

The return of an old classic... For those that don't remember or were not yet in the league, Clay used to put out a set of Power Rankings each year that everyone really enjoyed. He claimed to have developed a formula (which is even funnier now) to calculate how well a team was set to perform entering the season.

Well during the my five season break from the league, I was able to crack the code!

Behold! The return of SHAVERMETRICS!

DISCUSS!

Notes:

-The DL has five of the top eight teams. The DL also has nine of the top 14. Clearly the power league currently.

-Only three teams received a score of sub 300, Pawtucket, Pittsburgh and Death Valley, last years Pre-Season favorites. The difference between #7 to #14 is less than 50 points.

-Based on last years standings the highest riser is Wilmington, 78-84, 4th in Stout, to #8 in the rankings. Based on last years standings the largest drop is Philadelphia, 95-67, 1st in Stout, to #15 in the rankings. OF Ethan Bafford left Philadelphia this off-season for Wilmington.

-These scores do not reflect my opinion... It's just math.

Great stuff Pat.

Washington is going to be tough. Baltimore is going to be tough. Philly is going to be tough.

Stout Power!
