The Kids' Real MLB 2025 Power Rankings ....... Final top 12......... Will update as the season approaches or move the list around but in general once it gets going that doesn't happen unless something big changes......
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
The Kids Real MLB 2025 Top 12 Power Rankings Update March 14th 2025.....
Based off Total Team WAR, Starting Pitching rotations projections and the WAR-Ratio as a baseline along with other factors and considerations for teams with most likelihood and highest likelihood of making postseason for 2025.......
My Rankings are more accurate and to a lower margin of error when it came to my Regular Season and Post Season Power Rankings in the 2023 season vs the "experts"......they actually reflected performance by teams better than MLB/ESPN/Verlander/The-Ringer.... as good as the "experts" in 2024 and I don't have a full department of people and "professionals" or "experts" like Ken Rosenthal running around a floor of 500 people and a nationwide network of hundreds if not thousands of reporters and journalist..........
It's just me, my WAR-Ratio method and other factors and considerations, basic stats available to everyone and a little bit of calculus along with my Ti-84+ calculator.......thats it......you heard it here first.......
Gaze into the crystal ball........
SEE THE FUTURE.......

The-Kids’ Real MLB/Baseball Thread……Flashbacks……
Probably the most influential and most relevant expert in Baseball of this century.......had nothing to do with Baseball or ever even watched a game in his life......
Although I did develop the WAR-Ratio I never would have figured it out if it wasn't for Jim Slater.......and adapting his PEG-Ratio to Baseball.........a British accountant, financial invester/analyst from the 70's.........
The WAR-Ratio and the perspective it brings is at the core of my Top FA's for 2024 and its been shown to be a far superior method vs whatever other method or conventional wisdom the "experts" at the MLB/ESPN/MLB on Fox/Verlander etc etc have used for the last 100+ years or however long ^_^
---------------------------------------------------‐------------------------------------------------------------------------
At the heart of the WAR-Ratio is the mindset of foregoing the Juan Sotos, Aaron Judges and well even the Ohtanis or Trouts of the world.......
While these players are fantastic and anyone would have them they are already valued at market price or just arent a viable choice given the money they cost for some teams......
At the core of the WAR-Ratio method is the need to indetify undervalued players in order to simply get the most back on WAR to increase Total Team WAR like one would buy a stock to get the highest return on their investment.
One can also recreate a Trout, Judge or whoever "in the aggregate" using this approach and method and its been my approach to how teams should be built. You can also probably get more WAR for less money this way too and not have all the eggs in one basket.
Jim explains it best in how he approaches Monopoly.
Due to the way the game works and the arithmetical return for what you pay you actually land on the orange houses a lot more that bring a lower return and cost less due to the "Go to Jail Card" and other cards that help you get there faster or land on the orange houses more for more and even higher returns after landing in jail or cards that make you walk back and land on orange houses again and win faster.........
The same logic is applied when using WAR with Jim Slaters PEG Ratio in this sense with Baseball and picking FAs using the WAR Ratio in that you pick players that stand a higher chance of bringing a higher return in terms of production and wins with WAR with their cumulative WAR and the cost for that WAR and the highest returns given the opportunity cost.
In Monopoly due to the rules you land on orange houses more and stand to win more buying oranges houses..... undervalued players are the orange houses in today's game and in the MLB.....forget about the more expensive blue houses and the others....
Many people don't know that about Monopoly.......or Baseball and the MLB nowadays ImO.....

Jackie Robinson was drafted to the US Army in 1942. In 1943 he became a second lieutenant and eventually would join the 761st Tank Batallion also known as the "Black Panthers" during WWll.
Later Robinson was court martialed for refusing to sit in the back of the bus but would be honorably discharged upon further review by 9 Army Officers who aquited him of all charges.
Here's to a real legend on and off the field and a real example for others and for generations to come........

Great news for Yankees fans......
I mean let's be real here aside from the Dodgers just signing a blind check to improve their WS odds.....
This is pretty poor and more needs to be done to develop players younger..... younger players can be better than older ones and should be..... more money and effort should be placed on younger players in general vs just trying to develop an MLB ready arm and keep it ready while it's in the MLB.....
With faster velo and the pitch clock....... we just need more and more money invested in younger players iMO to keep the game alive yes but also really invest in our youth.
ImO there is no better investment than in the youth.

And he won't really be a deciding factor for the Astros..... but given his defense and that batt of his in Spring Training.... at the very least Cam just has to show up..... but if he can meet his full potential...... that takes the Astros even higher...... aside from everything else..... that BABIP says so many damn good things nvm his OPS........
