Season 27 Preseason Power Rankings

Spring training is almost over, so it's a good time to jump in with the Preseason Power Rankings!  There's always a lot of volatility from the Preseason rankings to the first regular season rankings, as a good team on paper doesn't always translate to a good team on the field.  Additionally, if you're doing something funky with your roster, it can be tough to pinpoint a true rating for certain elements that are taken into account.  Still, these are fun to do, so we'll give it our best shot.  Enjoy and good luck in the regular season!
