Season 16 Preseason Power Rankings

Season 16 is on the horizon as spring training winds down, so it's time for the preseason power rankings before the regular season kicks off.  The teams at the top are familiar names, as back-to-back champion Oklahoma City takes the top spot.  They seem to get a key Free Agent each season, and this season it was Sherman Perez.  #2 Buffalo and #3 Honolulu, both coming off 100 win seasons, will again try to dethrone OKC as kings of the NL, and have the talent to potentially do it.  Detroit comes in at #4 as the top AL team, and will certainly face challenges from #5 Pawtucket and #6 New Britain.  Will these teams rule their leagues or will other teams surprise and crack the top echelon of the Kenny Powers World?  It will be interesting to see!   Good luck to all in the regular season and here are the complete rankings!

		Season 15
	Team	W	L	Comments
1	Oklahoma City	102	60	Poised for another great year and added Sherman Perez
2	Buffalo	108	54	Gunning for Oklahoma City as always and looking strong
3	Honolulu	106	56	Had league's top pitching last season, will make a run too
4	Detroit	98	64	Well balanced team that could take next step this season
5	Pawtucket	91	71	Wagner will help the pitching staff, have great offense too
6	New Britain	98	64	They should be in the thick of it in the AL, nice all around
7	Rochester	80	82	Numbers were much better than 80-82 record last season
8	Seattle	101	61	Lost a couple of guys, but still have a solid core group
9	Tampa Bay	83	79	Tough being in OKC's division, but they have the talent
10	St. Louis	90	72	If they get a little more from the bats, they will move up
11	Nashville	82	80	Mediocre record last season, but numbers looked good
12	Indianapolis	85	77	Could build on their division title from last season for sure
13	Toronto	88	74	Losing Wagner hurts, we'll have to see if they can adjust
14	Tucson	82	80	Pitching needs to improve this year for them to move up
15	Cleveland	69	93	Made some nice free agent adds, so should be better
16	Scranton	79	83	Great offense, but pitching hurt them a bit last season
17	Little Rock	80	82	Numbers are about in the middle of the pack, so we'll see
18	Richmond	80	82	We'll see if the new owner can reign in the pitching staff
19	Oakland	73	89	Pitching was an issue here too, but offense is very solid
20	Pittsburgh	74	88	Had a couple of nice signings, which should help them out
21	San Francisco	63	99	Very active in FA, signing 3 of top 10, so it's looking up
22	Florida	77	85	They've been improving last few season, and could step up
23	Salt Lake City	68	94	Added a huge bat in Franco, we'll see if they step it up
24	San Juan	84	78	May be an adjustment period with transition to new owner
25	Chicago	72	90	Pretty off season for the offense, but could rebound there
26	Burlington	72	90	Tough park for hitters, but they've improved last few seasons
27	Helena	76	86	Rebuilding, as 4-time Cy Young winner Hurst was traded
28	Kansas City	71	91	Offense is not bad, can new owner get pitching in shape?
29	Memphis	65	97	Rough going last season, their ranking is always volatile
30	Syracuse	68	94	Offense was bad last season, new owner may rebuild here
31	Louisville	65	97	They've been rebuilding, the offense was up last year though
32	Vancouver	62	100	They were bad all-around last season and rebuilding as well

Season 16 Free Agency Preview

Who will land these 2-time former Cy Young winners this offseason? 

Season 16 is kicking off in Kenny Powers and we're on to Offseason Free Agency!   This Free Agent Class is highlighted by a couple of two-time former Cy Young winners and a handful of excellent bats.  Let's see who made this season's top ten Free Agent list!

1. Ted Wagner, 30, SP
Type A Free Agent
Key Stat: 3.64 career ERA, 2 Cy Young awards
Salary Over/Under: 5 years, $95 million

Possible Destinations: Chicago (AL), Pawtucket, Cleveland, Oakland

Signed with Pawtucket - 5 years, $95 million

Wagner is the prize of this free agent class, it appears.  Although his career ERA isn't microscopic, his last three years have been front-line starter quality, and he has taken home 2 Cy Young awards in his career.  On top of that, he's only 30, meaning he should be solid throughout the entire contract if signed to a five year deal.  If he has a weakneess, it's pitch quality, but he makes up for that with tremendous effectiveness vs. RH hitters and very good control. 
 
2. Antonio Liang, 28, 2B
Type  Free Agent
Key Stat: 39 HR 117 RBI average last 4 seasons
Salary Over/Under: 5 years, $75 million

Possible Destinations:  Tampa Bay, Cleveland, Memphis, Burlington

Signed with San Francisco - 5 years, $36.5 million

Liang has plus power that has seen him hit many long balls since his rookie campaign.  He also has good, but not great, splits, batting eye and contact.  He can probably be a serviceable, but below average 2B or CF fielding wise, but his bat should make up for any fielding woes.  The major plus for Liang is that he is only 28, which means he shouldn't deteriorate too much, if at all the next five seasons.

3. Sherman Perez, 33, 3B
Type A Free Agent
Key Stat: 32 HR 105 RBI average last 4 seasons
Salary Over/Under: 3 years, $42 million

Possible Destinations:  Oklahoma City, Memphis, Rochester, Pawtucket

Signed with Oklahoma City - 5 years, $44.2 million

Perez was our #1 Free Agent of Season 11, the very first season of blog coverage, and five seasons later he's still got gas left in the tank at age 33, making him a quality add.  His hitting skills are still plus across the board and he can still handle the hot corner in the field.  But age is a factor with him, as a decline upcoming is inevitable, but he still has at least a few very good seasons left in him. 

4. Richard Ma, 32, SP
Type B Free Agent
Key Stat: 2.64 career ERA, 2 Cy Young awards
Salary Over/Under: 4 years, $44 million

Possible Destinations: Oklahoma City, Chicago (AL), Scranton, San Juan

Signed with San Francisco - 5 years, $55 million

The two-time Cy Young winner with a microscopic career ERA hits the market this offseason.  Unfortunately, a major elbow injury in Season 14 zapped some of his skills, stamina and durability.  If not for that, he'd be by far and away the #1 player on this list, practically guaranteed a max contract.  Still, he has a solid arsenal that would help just about any rotation, granted only for about 175 innings compared to what he could do in the past.

5. Robb Ross, 33, LF
Type A Free Agent
Key Stat: .892 OPS average over last 4 seasons
Salary Over/Under: 3 years, $33 million

Possible Destinations: Tucson, San Juan, Chicago (AL), Vancouver

Signed with Cleveland - 4 years, $29.2 million

Ross, a former MVP from Season 11, is getting up there in age as well, but is still a quality hitter, and is capable of playing a solid Left Field with his defensive skills.  At this point, he isn't a star you build your team around, but he can still be a great piece for a contender to help lift the offense a notch., given his outstanding splits and contact and plus power and batting eye. 

6. Evan Richardson, 32, RF
Type B Free Agent
Key Stat: .863 career OPS
Salary Over/Under: 3 years, $30 million

Possible Destinations: Tampa Bay, San Francisco, Rochester, Tucson

Signed with Toronto - 3 years, $17.6 million

Richardson is another solid hitter who could contribute good production.  His fielding skills a bit iffy for Right Field, but he's probably passable there.  His main asset is his bat, with very good contact, batting eye, power, and effectiveness vs. LHP.   His .863 career OPS shows he can produce, despite some shaky seasons recently. 
  
7. Trenidad Franco, 31, DH
Type B Free Agent
Key Stat: .931 career OPS
Salary Over/Under: 4 years, $36 million

Possible Destinations:  Toronto, Oakland, Detroit, Pittsburgh

Signed with Salt Lake City - 4 years, $26.8 million

Franco is the most powerful bat on this list, and he also has outstanding splits and contact.  His career .931 OPS is the best of any of the players on the top 10 list.  He's probably more suited to be a DH in the AL at this point, but could probably play catcher in a pinch (pretty badly though).  His low durability may limit him to about 450 AB's, but those will be quality AB's with a bunch of homers mixed in.

8. Randy Gonzales, 32, 3B
No Designation
Key Stat: .832 career OPS
Salary Over/Under: 3 years, $26 million

Possible Destinations: San Francisco, Burlington, Memphis, Pawtucket

Signed with Indianapolis - 4 years, $23.8 million

Gonzales is an excellent bat with very good splits, plus power, but only a decent batting eye and contact.  His biggest asset is the fact that he is a capable 3rd baseman.  Having a strong bat like his at the hot corner would be a boost to most lineups.  Age and durability may be a slight concern, but he should be an above average performer for at least the next couple of seasons.  

9. Lawrence Crabtree, 34, SP
Type A Free Agent
Key Stat: 3.98 career ERA
Salary Over/Under: 3 years, $24 million

Possible Destinations: Oklahoma City, Tampa Bay, Seattle, San Francisco

Signed with San Francisco - 5 years, $40 million

Crabtree's career 3.98 ERA is a bit surprising, given he's played in Seattle, a park highly geared for pitchers, but he is still a quality arm.  He's got nice control and a good arsenal of pitches, and knows how to keep the ball down.  His effectiveness vs. LH hitters is mediocre, however, which may be a reason for the higher career ERA.  Still, he's a solid #3 type, at least, for a contending team.

10. Harry Shiell, 32, RP
Type A Free Agent
Key Stat: 3.70 career ERA
Salary Over/Under: 4 years, $36 million

Possible Destinations:  Pawtucket, Oklahoma City, Scranton, Seattle

Signed with Pittsburgh - 3 years, $17.6 million

Shiell gets the nod as the top reliever in this year's class.  His excellent durability-stamina combo makes him a practical lock for 120+ IP per season.  On top of that, he throws with excellent velocity, has outstanding control, and is solid against RH hitters.  His LH split is a bit down, but that is about his only weakness.  He'll make someone's bullpen a lot better.

That's it for the Free Agency Preview, good luck getting the players you're after!

Season 15 Wrap Up

Oklahoma City Bombers (NL) tisi29 View Hardball Dynasty Profile

Oklahoma City goes back-to-back and takes the Season 15 crown!

The Season 15 playoffs have concluded, and Oklahoma City has broken the mold of only winning titles in even-numbered seasons to win back-to-back titles for the first the team.  In an unusual spot for them as the #3 seed, they beat Cincinnati in the Play In Series, and then outlasted Honolulu in tough a 5 game series in the DCS.  Facing St. Louis, an upset winner over Buffalo, in the NLCS, just about every game was very tight and Oklahoma City won in 6 games.  In the World Series, they faced a tough New Britain team that took them to six games, but Oklahoma City came out on top.  It was the toughest road of any of Oklahoma City's titles, but they still won it all.  It will be interesting to see what this means for their streak of even-numbered season championships next season.  There are certainly some strong contenders in both leagues that could challenge them.

Meanwhile, regular season awards were also handed out.  Here's a recap of the winners.

Most Valuable Player
American League - Vasco Correa, Oakland - .271 AVG 57 HR 144 RBI
The young 23 year-old slugger took home the AL MVP award in his first full season of Major League play.  Correa led the AL in Home Runs, RBI and runs, made the All-Star team, and won a Silver Slugger this season.  Correa looks to have many good seasons to come, as he is one of the most powerful bats in the league.

National League - Richard Brohawn, Honolulu - .288 AVG 62 HR 154 RBI
Brohawn, the offensive force leading the way for one of the best teams in the NL, Honolulu, took home his first MVP award at age 25.  Brohawn led the NL in Slugging, tied for the lead in Home Runs and RBI, made the All-Star team, and won a Silver Slugger award.  Like his AL counterpart, Brohawn has several more stellar seasons ahead of him. 

Cy Young Award
American League - Valerio Baez, New Britain - 19-10 3.14 ERA 191 K
In a season where there really wasn't a single dominant pitcher in the AL, the 23 year-old hurler from the AL Champion New Britain squad took home the Cy Young.  Baez led the league in Innings Pitched and Quality Starts, while tying for the league lead in wins.  He also made the All-Star team.  It wouldn't surprise us at all if he was back in this spot one day, as he is one of the best young hurlers in the AL. 

National League - Che-Bang Kata, Oklahoma City - 22-5 2.61 ERA 161 K
Breaking the trend of winners in their early 20's is an all-time great, perhaps the greatest pitcher in Kenny Powers history.   Kata took home his 4th Cy Young award leading the way for another Oklahoma City title.  He may not have the velocity anymore that led to him accumulating the top 5 seasons in strikeouts in Kenny Powers history, but is still an extremely efficient pitcher at Age 38.

Rookie of the Year
American League - Duane Roundtree, New Britain - .290 AVG 34 HR 87 RBI
Roundtree was a runaway winner of the AL Rookie of the Year award putting up strong numbers at the hot corner for the AL Champions.  Roundtree has very good power and tremendous splits that should make him a valuable asset for seasons to come, especially since he can play 3rd base at a decent, albeit not spectacular, level. 

National League
Miguel Casilla, St. Louis - .245 AVG 18 HR 76 RBI 23 SB
Livan Cordero, Tucson - .300 AVG 21 HR 56 RBI 20 SB
The Rookie of the Year race in the NL was a lot closer, in fact it ended up being a tie!  Probably because the co-winners are very similar players, both have nice power and good speed, as shown by their season 15 output.  As far as upside goes, Casilla's ceiling is probably a little bit higher, but Cordero will be a nice player as well, and is also a lot better in the field. 

Fireman of the Year
American League - Zachrey Coleman, Toronto - 1.82 ERA, 39 SV - 2nd win
National League - Jolbert Camacho, Honolulu - 1.05 ERA, 36 SV, 1st win

That concludes the Season 15 Wrap Up, thanks to everyone for making it a great one, hope to see everyone back for Season 16!

Season 15 Final Power Rankings

Season 15's Regular Season is in the books and it's time for the final rankings before the playoffs begin.  At the top of the rankings, we decided to make Honolulu the #1 squad by a very close margin over Buffalo.  They had a better finish and better offensive and pitching numbers.  But really, you could make a solid argument for either team.  3-8 remained the same from the previous rankings, so there wasn't much movement, but the playoffs will be interesting with 3 strong teams in each league, and some other teams capable of making a run as well.  Here are the complete final rankings, good luck to all in the playoffs!

	Team	W	L	PREV	Comments
1	Honolulu	106	56	2	A little bit better than Buffalo numbers wise, very solid team

Season 15 Power Rankings # 3

We're three-quarters of the way through Season 15, so it's time to check in with the power rankings before we hit the stretch run.  After being ranking #1 at the mid-way point last season, Buffalo fell off a bit, unable to maintain their momentum.  This season is a different story, as Buffalo has kept it rolling and is a pretty clear #1 once again at this point.  They have 2 tough challengers in the NL, in #2 Honolulu, whose numbers don't look that different from Buffalo, and #3 Oklahoma City who saw improved numbers all around since the last ranking.  Seattle comes in at #4, with their good offensive numbers continuing, and a red hot New Britain comes in at #5.  Honorable mention goes to St. Louis, who cracks the top 10 at #8 after posting the 2nd best record since the last rankings, overcoming a mediocre start.  Here are the complete rankings, good luck to all down the stretch!

	Team	W	L	PREV	Comments
1	Buffalo	85	37	1	No letdown after the halfway mark this year, rolling along
2	Honolulu	79	43	3	Putting up similar numbers to Buffalo, so looking strong
3	Oklahoma City	76	46	4	They've improved across the board, so look out
4	Seattle	74	48	5	Getting better offense this season, and pitching is solid
5	New Britain	71	51	11	Excellent since last rankings, numbers up overall
6	Detroit	75	47	2	Mediocre as of late, but still a very strong team
7	Pawtucket	69	53	6	Offensive powerhouse is certainly a contender in the AL
8	St. Louis	69	53	14	On fire since last rankings, thanks to great pitching
9	Toronto	70	52	7	Hanging in there, pitching improved a lot, but offense down
10	Tucson	63	59	15	Been playing better, thanks to a major boost in offense
11	Rochester	60	62	18	Numbers look better than their record indicates
12	Indianapolis	65	57	19	Nice season, I think this is the highest they've ever been
13	Nashville	63	59	8	Have faltered a bit, the offense has been down lately
14	Little Rock	60	62	27	Made major strides since last rankings, with pitching impoved
15	Cincinnati	65	57	10	Still doing good with pitching, but not getting much offense
16	Scranton	58	64	20	Took a step forward with their pitching, and offense is great
17	Tampa Bay	59	63	9	Struggling a bit as of late, but pitching still very good
18	Pittsburgh	62	60	16	Pitching has stepped it up, but offense is down some
19	Durham	61	61	12	It's all offense for them, which is consistent with their park
20	Jacksonville	55	67	29	Major improvement across the board, which is a good sign
21	New York	56	66	21	Pitching roughed up a bit, but the offense is improving
22	Helena	57	65	17	Playing ok as of late, with the offense picking up steam
23	Oakland	52	70	24	Pitching took a step back, but they have great offense
24	Salt Lake City	50	72	32	They're improving, with a winning record since last rankings
25	Cleveland	50	72	13	Offense cooled off a bit, which resulted in taking a step back
26	Burlington	55	67	22	The offense is down a bit here, but still getting good pitching
27	Chicago (AL)	52	70	26	Offense improved, but pitching has been a problem for them
28	Louisville	51	71	25	Decent hitting, and the pitching made some strides forward
29	Chicago (NL)	51	71	30	Pitching improving, but the offense hasn't been there
30	Memphis	44	78	28	Offense took a major step back since the last rankings
31	San Francisco	48	74	23	Pitching roughed up lately, which has resulted in some L's
32	Vancouver	47	75	31	Look to be rebuilding, as the pitching seems just awful

Season 15 All-Star Coverage

Season 15's All-Stars have been announced, so it's time to see who will be playing in this year's classic!

In the American League, the representation was pretty spread out with Detroit, Pawtucket and Seattle leading the way with 4 All-Stars each.  13 teams had players make the team.  Jay Borbon of Nashville has the most number of appearances in the AL, with this being his 9th All-Star game.  Others deserving mention include Sherman Perez (8th appearance), Matty Posada (8th appearance), and Clyde Hurst (7th appearance).

In the National League, two teams' players dominate the roster, with Buffalo having 8 All-Stars and Honolulu having 7 make the team.  Despite the domination of these two teams, 12 teams still had players make the team.  The big news on the NL side is that Che-Bang Kata of Oklahoma City has now hit double digits in All-Star appearances, with this being his 10th.  Fellow hurler Stewart Mouton also deserves a mention for making his 7th All-Star team.

Congrats to all who had players make the team!  Here are the complete All-Star rosters!
