When you’ve been at this as long as I have, the entire year just becomes a cycle of expectations. Each year we do previews, reviews, Study Hall, Roster Math, and at some point during the summer we ask a very basic question:
What players will be in the top 8 of the rotation?
If I’m being honest here, I thought I published a post for this exercise each year, but I guess not every year. If something was published, the title was weird enough it was hard to locate despite a pretty robust search feature, and a full archive.
