I believe it opened at a similar time last year but previously it had usually opened after the Super Bowl.

Wow, baseball already. Have a lot of catching up to do.

I’m not looking forward to seeing my players O-Ranks on my keeper team. It’s filled with a bunch of guys who had great yrs in 2015, but half way through 2016 were bad so I traded for them. Keuchel, Greinke, Harvey, Garrett Richards, Puig, Gomez, and Ces. UGH

Should still be today as when you go to the page the links to last year's teams are now gone (they were there yesterday). That's a sign that they're getting ready.

Not that O-ranks matter, but I'm intrigued to see where they put the young (upcoming) stars e.g. Turner, Seager, Story, Odor etc. and guys who had massive breakouts /career seasons e.g. Villar, Murphy, Dozier etc.

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh ya. Can't wait to hunt for some good sleepers!

Nice to see it's almost there. I did get a little disappointed this morning when it wasn't fully up and running though. Hopefully it's soon today.

From my recollection it's usually in the afternoon, though not sure if EST/PST etc.

Open now.
Initial look thoughts:
-Mookie Betts at 2 is interesting.
-1B designation for Bryant wasn't expected.
-HOLY CRAP TREA TURNER!!
-Bunch of other young guys very high.
-After that post-season showing Miller is behind the one he bested (Osuna), interesting...
-Schwarber still very high even though he missed the whole season.
-Carpenter already starting with designation for all three infield bases.
-Breakout guys like Villar all shot up the rankings.
-Still a lot of good sleeper guys like Daniel Norris, etc.
-3B really drops off after the top 2.

Anything else from anyone else.

I swore I was giving up fantasy baseball this year. Instead...maybe I'm looking for better leagues.

Any reason you want to give up fantasy baseball?

David Dahl at 81 is nice. Jose Bautista at 106 is going to be a steal if he stays in the 100s, same with Lorenzo Cain. And oh have the greats fallen (Feliz Hernandez at 120, Adam Wainwright at 190, Puig at 207). I think Jake Lamb is low (prolly a solid 3B steal at 129). Melancon at 142 is a solid closer, he’ll rack them up. Troy Tulo went from 50s to 150s. Aledmys Diaz (SS at 154) was great when he was in the lineup then had an injury and lost a bunch of games in the back half of the yr.

Moreland at 272 could be great. Wilson Ramos finished the yr. at like top 30s? and he’s O-Ranked 309….catchers are so volatile

I plan to go over these today. Needless to say I hope EB and 2014 are ready for a year long question fest from me.
