GM's OFFICE: Our pre-season staff survey, 2021

The 2021 edition of our annual pre-season staff survey covers more than 40 questions about the upcoming season. In some cases, our 38 responding writers have a clear consensus. In others, the group is conflicted. In all cases, the data is illuminating. Topics include:

  • Position-by-position overview
  • Starting Pitchers
  • Closers
  • AL team-by-team
  • NL team-by-team

Plus, we have some open-ended questions to the end of the survey, allowing our writers to share some personal picks and pans. 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. Pick out your favorite writer's comments, or just see what resonates with...
