Season 63 Owner Power Rankings
El Segundo, CA - Yount stands out as particularly competitive compared to participants from various leagues. Together, this league has won 256 World Series titles. With Pomeroy James's expertise, we created an algorithm to pinpoint consistently successful owners. Our rankings exclude anyone who hasn't completed 25 seasons, as our new addition, cregen7, surely would crack the top 15 if he qualified. Following the owner rankings, you'll find this year's toughest division rankin

Willie's Ballot: The Five You Vote Into the Hall
FLY CREEK, N.Y. — Hall of Fame voting is open, so let me save you the trouble and tell you how the ballot ought to look. Five names. Three of them shouldn't cost you a single second of thought. The other two are where I earn my keep. Ranked, with the receipts — and yes, spell-check is off, as always. The numbers are still right.

Season 62 Organization of the Year
The most esteemed honor in the Yount League goes, outright this time, to the Atlanta Braves, who climbed eight spots to the top with 691 points on a league-best 521 wins and playoff berths at five of six levels.

Yount All-Time Owners Post Season 62
Edinburg, TX — Season 62 has concluded, and for the second time in his managerial career, pimpbotlove claims the top spot. His Anaheim Angels clinched the AL West title but started October as the league's third seed. They then defied expectations, advancing through the play-in round, defeating the 122-win Milwaukee in a six-game ALCS, and overcoming wild-card Colorado 4–1 in the World Series. Consider the Milwaukee Brewers. Their record of 122–40 — a .753 winning percentage a

Season 62 Wins Above Replacement (WAR) Rankings
For years, we borrowed a WAR formula off the WIS forums and plugged our stats in. We've since built our own. Every value here is solved from the Yount League's own history rather than lifted from Major League Baseball: how much a double is worth, how hard each position is to fill, what a defensive play actually saves. Defense finally counts for what it should, and pitchers are rated two ways at once, both for what they controlled and for what actually happened behind them. Ze

Season 62 Minor League Power Rankings
Lebanon, KS - With the minor league playoffs complete, it's great to look back at the minor league regular season to see who the top teams were.

Here are the Yount Season 62 Minor League Power Rankings, along with the top twenty all-time minor l

Season 61 Organization of the Year
In the Yount League, the most esteemed honor is the Organization of the Year award. According to league rules, we seek owners with well-rounded organizations, which is why there is a minimum win rate requirement for the minor leagues. For the first time since we started tracking, we had a tie at the top spot between the Kansas City Royals and the Milwaukee Brewers, both amassing 766 points. The Royals relied on an astonishing 500 total wins, with a title at AA and World Seri

Season 62 All-Stars
Members of the Yount League often debate the legitimacy of all-star recognition, despite the presence of an official all-star game at the major league level. This was one of the more balanced all-star selections at the MLB level, as the Brewers had six selections and more than half the league had two or more. This year, just six teams had no players selected, down from eight, since there are no mandatory selections. At the bottom, we have an all-time list of all-star select

Baton Rouge, LA (GUGUGOOHG) - Evaluating a draft class immediately after the draft can be challenging, as initial impressions may suggest the draft isn't powerful.

Season 62 Vegas Win Totals
Las Vegas, NV - The Greenlight Casino rolls the dice every year, hoping to hit the jackpot, so go ahead and place your bets. This always has league members sweating like they're in a sauna, especially when it affects attendance numbers.
