A post-Free Agency update. Fantrax updated their player projections again 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 160 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.
