One more update before Free Agency begins. Fantrax updated their player projections this week. 
Statistics from Fantrax Player Projections, adjusted for BKDB regular season stats only.
Players included: Top 50 projected at each position, Top 180 SP, and Top 150 RP.
Criteria: Only best starting lineup included in hitting points. Top 8 SP per team. Top 6 RP per team.
Notes: My opinion is that these rankings will slightly undervalue overall depth on teams. That's the downside of doing these calculations manually. As seen from last year's projection comparisons, they aren't so far off from Will's FanGraphs projections though. Being bullpens are so volatile, these rankings also tend to marginally overvalue teams with elite bullpen arms.
