ESPN Projected Standings

Minor edits to the standings: I noticed that I was not dealing with ties properly, so when there was a tie neither team received the half point they should have. As a result, Bill (+0.5), Taylor (+0.5), and Luke (+1) gain points from ties in home runs and saves. The overall standings remain unchanged,  however.

Thanks to Milly waking me nice and early this morning, we now have ESPN projected standings based on starters, instead of the entire roster, as they did during the draft.  Just a reminder, things can change an awful lot from these projections. While Caleb was projected to win and did so, I ended up in second and Luke ended up in third, despite being projected to finish last and fifth, respectively. I've also included playing time estimates (AB and IP), to give you an idea of which teams are being hurt by players projected to be part timers. Spencer, with Davis, Bautista, Lind and Ortiz with less than full time projections, and Andrew, with Smoak, Drew, and Ellsbury with limited PT, suffer the most for AB. Andrew and I lag behind in innings, although both of us are middle of the pack in K/9.

Without further ado, here are the raw numbers:
