2025 Preseason staff poll

The 2025 edition of our annual pre-season staff survey covers more than 40 questions about the upcoming season. In some cases, our 30 responding writers have a clear consensus. In others, the group is conflicted. In all cases, the data is illuminating. Topics include:

  • The top of the player pool
  • Position-by-position overview
  • Starting pitchers
  • Closers
  • AL team-by-team
  • NL team-by-team

As always, we have our official projections and a common set of tools for analyzing players, but that doesn't mean our staff shares a single collective brain. See what resonates with you!
