It's time for another season of BLB baseball! 2047 promises to be an exciting year, so what better time than now to bring back the BLB's foremost rating system, "Shavermetrics"? Will the numbers be kind to your team, proving the Spring optimism is well founded? Or will they provide a cold dose of reality?
Remember, it's just math. Cold, hard, math.
2047 Preseason Ratings
Editor's Note - The ratings above are simply the result of painstaking calculations based on the current strength of the BLB's 24 organizations. They do not necessarily reflect the opinion of the author of this piece.
There you have it - the Dallas Drillers are the best team in the BLB as we head into 2047. They're coming off a tough loss in the DLCS to the Montreal Exports, but the numbers say that they are the team to beat, and the odds on favorite to bring home the Brew this season. However, they face a tough task to capture that elusive title, as 4 of the top 5 teams in the league are in the Domestic, and the Patriots are hot on their heels in the ratings.
Over in the IL, the three-time defending champs, the Washington Bats, enter the season solidly ahead in the ratings. The Los Angeles Dinos have been one of the darlings of the offseason, and the Metrics reflect their strength after acquiring Preston Capps and Marco Taylor. Meanwhile, last season's top seed in the IL, the California Kodiaks, have fallen significantly in the ratings. They've made the playoffs 12 straight seasons, but face a tough task to make it a lucky 13.
