"Something something charts, I'll die if I don't make a comment about it" - Branda.
Now with that out of the way. I thought that some of us might appreciate visually seeing how the teams are balanced in the BSA based on pitcher/batter WAR.
Some teams have found success being heavy in either direction (SEA/NAS)
Others have found success from the balanced approach (VIS/IRV/BAF/NO/KAL) while others have not (STL/HOU/POC.. but barely POC they lean further form balance than this group).. though you wouldn't be able to tell by the chart because they are all producing similar WAR totals.
What I've concluded is that to win in the BSA.. you need to be extremely good at something while being above average at the rest.
Out of the highest WARing balanced teams (IRV/NO/KAL/BAF/STL/VIS/HOU) only Irvine looks like it has a shot at the division. New Orleans, Baffin and Vista have playoff hopes with Baffin's being the most sure thing while St. Louis, Houston and Kalamazoo will likely be missing out.
