Sodo Mojo Mariners WAR draft pre-season rankings

We took the Fan Graphs ZiPS and Steamer projections to help us create two pre-season rankings for our teams. Based on the ZiPS projections, here are the rankings:

1. Lee
   1. Total projected WAR = 5.4
   2. Haniger, Sheffield, Gilbert
2. Jake
   1. Total projected WAR = 4.8
   2. Seager, Paxton, Fraley
3. Ryota
   1. Total projected WAR = 4.1
   2. Moore, France, Montero
4. Jamey
   1. Total projected WAR = 3.9
   2. Gonzales, Kikuchi, Trammell
5. Willie
   1. Total projected WAR = 3.0
   2. Lewis, Murphy, Kelenic
6. Chris
   1. Total projected WAR = 2.3
   2. Crawford, White, Dunn

The Steamer projections are quite different compared to the ZiPS projections. Based on the 2021 Steamer projections, here are the rankings:

1. Jake
   1. Total projected WAR = 4.3
   2. Seager, Paxton, Fraley
2. Jamey
   1. Total projected WAR = 4.2
   2. Gonzales, Kikuchi, Trammell
3. Chris
   1. Total projected WAR = 3.9
   2. Crawford, White, Dunn
4. Lee
   1. Total projected WAR = 3.7
   2. Haniger, Sheffield, Gilbert
5. Willie
   1. Total projected WAR = 2.9
   2. Lewis, Murphy, Kelenic
6. Ryota
   1. Total projected WAR = 2.1
   2. Moore, France, Montero

It’s pretty interesting to see the vast difference between the two rankings but only time will tell how each team will perform. Stay tuned for in-season updates for our little fun competition.
