I beat the "experts".......
At MLB/ESPN/MLB on Fox/The-Ringer at their own game........
And while they think they are matching me....... pretty much just copying and pasting my methodology based on the WAR-Ratio that I developed...... they may be using the same deck/hand as me but they don't know how to really use it or how to play the cards that I invented and developed to their full potential.........
________________________________________________________
7 out of 12 of my picks are postseason ready vs 6 out 12 of the "experts"....... And actually made Postseason and October Baseball.
58.333% of my preseason picks mase Postseason and October Baseball overall out of 12 vs 50% of the "experts" at MLB/ESPN/MLB on Fox/The-Ringer top 12 preseason picks and Power Rankings...... Also demolished PECOTA and their preseason projections for the season which only got 5 out of top 12 picks right at 41.666% vs my 7 out of top 12 picks at 58.333%......
I beat the "experts" in 162 games of the season......
At MLB/ESPN/MLB on Fox/The-Ringer to PECOTA this season on every level *_*

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.......

This is my opinion on the Angels and what they should do as a fan...... And well an opinion as the best Analytical/Statistical/Baseball mind of the 21st century today, here and now......
Have GM Perry Minasian be in charge of everything...... Fire President of the Angels John Carpino and anyone who has been with the organization for 10+ years or longer outright...... Short of very few exceptions but pretty much anyone who has been there at the Angels/Anaheim Front Office for 10+ years now should just be fired outright pretty much...... Next look at anyone that has been there for 5+ years and fire their ass too.....
You get what you put in and and what you put in is shit such as the Front Office and the result is dogshit from the team for 10+ years now....... It's nothing short of pure dogshit or actually lower than dogshit for 10+ years now with losing season after losing season and failure after failure.....
Fans and people in Anaheim and Orange County deserve better than this lower than dogshit garbage and it's simply unacceptable on any level.
What job allows people to produce a lower than dogshit product year after year and failure season after season....... And still let them keep their jobs ....... It's simply insanity and pure madness and it's time that this lower than dogshit filth is put out of its misery in regards to the Angels Front Office and it's time to get rid of and fire all the lower than dogshit garbage at the Front Office not conducive to winning games in Anaheim.

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 Baseball in general in 2023/2024/2025 in regards to my projections 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.....

I mean with todays technology..... And how advanced it is..... How much better can AI be than your average human counterpart as a coach, Manager, GM or President of Operations...... Maybe it's not there all the way yet but sooner than later that is very possible.....
Or at least used to augment decision making of the team and staff and even operations in a Front Office and organization as a whole.
