1 - 10, 10 being best ever among legacies

Starting Pitching
Relief Pitching
Infield Defense
Outfield Defense
Offense (1 - 9)
Depth

My napkin ratings

Starting Pitching - 5 (I wanted to go 6 but uncertain of Matz, Mikolas....)
Relief Pitching - 8 (Another special year assuming health and no one is traded)
Infield Defense - 6 (Nolan and Winn pumped this up, but 2nd I am unsure of as 1st base)
Outfield Defense - 7 (Assuming Siani plays CF quite a bit)
Offense - 4 (I think there will be spots that surge, but overall average to maybe a tick below)
Depth - 6 (I like some of the depth players who can come up if required, both outfield, infield and pitching).

What do you mean by “legacies”?

Of will feature a healthy dose of walker, Burleson, and Donovan. It can’t be a 7.

Offense will be a 2.

Infield defense 4 depending on Contreras and Gorman. If Contreras struggles and Gorman plays a lot it’s bad. Catcher d isn’t a strength either.

Sp 3. Who are you confident in?

4 may be a little high for Offense. For some reason Oli teams don’t hit and score runs……do they get points for swinging hard??
