Yep, it's all me... I look at the team stats... batting average, scoring, HR power, ERAs of starters and bullpen and fielding average.
I think the power rankings are just for that week... I don't see the benefit of the power rankings.... they vary week-to-week to much... LaClaire #3 this week... last week 20th... nope, that doesn't help me make my predictions.
I look for balance on a team... good BA, good scoring, good starters, good relievers... home-run power is important, too... because you can score a lot of runs this way... good pitching and good home-run power are a key for me... I take fielding average into consideration when it is excellent or poor.
Not sure how good my predictions are... I need to look back in recent years and see.
