🎯 Category Pressure

Each row is a 12-slot rank ladder (left = worst, right = best). Your slot — and any team tied with you at the same value — lights up in your tier color. Cells above/below show the next strictly-different neighbor; the rightmost slot always shows the league leader (gold). The right column shows your delta to first (positive = need to gain, negative = need to drop for ratio cats).

🔒 2027 Keeper Slate (top 8)

Expert-weighted: combines cost surplus (cheap keep vs. market round) with Statcast quality (xwOBA / xERA z-score), small position-scarcity nudge for C/SS, and Mookie-lock penalty. A great keeper is cheap AND elite. RPs excluded — too volatile to lock up a keeper slot. UFDA cap caps first-year UFDA keeps at 3.
