THEY'RE HERE!!!@!

OMG OMG OMG

Ahahahahahahahahahaha! JD A+/B- in the outfield. **** yeah I’ll take it even though it ain’t deserved

HOORAY!!!! CHRISTMAS COME... EARLY?

Degrom looks like extraordinary value - the relievers that jump out at me are Doolittle (slightly better metrics than '11 Mike Adams for the same price) and Ryan Brasier (better version of the 34ip Rich Hill we all love).

I'm not in love with any position guys yet - Juan Soto looks good and my man Ben Zobrist is good value as usual (but hard to put in the field this year). I'm interested to see how Mookie will play out, especially given the success of high-contact '17 Altuve and J Ramirez in the sim, and the trend towards higher k's once again in '18. Andujar is great value if you figure out where to play him!

Got a few issues with players showing up as first time players when they're not. Sabathia wasn't a rookie this year was he?

Where's Ohtani the pitcher?!

Ohtani the hitter, Acuna and Soto all look good. The new generation!

And even worse -- JBJ is C+/B+ in the outfield... were they high when they made these ratings??

The problem with seble is that he uses weird characters in the players names. Happened last year with Nick Castellanos

Ryan Brasier has an IP/G of 0.99. Rich Hill was a SP that you can use as a SP in the playoffs. I don't think those two are comparable.

His ERC is 2.73 and he otherwise lines up pretty well with 2016 Masa Tanaka so that's about where I'd guess.

Gonna give myself a gold star on this one.

My feeling is you'll never see Ohtani the pitcher. They just pick one (hitter or pitcher) and ignore the other. Like Ruth '18.

Sabathia is listed as a rookie because they used CC as his first name, and not C.C.

Same thing with Castellanos. He was always Nick, but for 2018 he is Nicholas.

Anyone going to start a 2018 draft league? I'd be in for that.

Is Shohei even in the player database?
