Top 100 Players Right Now

MLB Network presented their list of the top 100 players in baseball "right now," with consideration being given to recent performance and expected performance. The list is at the bottom of this post.

Here are the number of those 100 players on each NASOMA team. And assigning 100 points for #1, 99 points for #2, etc., the teams' point total is given as well.

Zaps - 10 players - 668 points (by far the best team in the league)
Sidewinders - 10 players - 562 points
Tweeners - 10 players - 386 points
Warpigs - 9 players - 552 points
Drillers - 7 players - 381 points
Wahoos - 7 players - 294 points
Rhinos - 7 players - 275 points
FFTs - 6 players - 291 points
DVs - 6 players - 241 points
Fungoes - 5 players - 346 points (including #1 and #2)
Mavs - 5 players - 337 points
Inmates - 5 players - 277 points
Killer Bees - 4 players - 102 points
Nads - 3 players - 103 points
SuperGoofs - 2 players - 98 points
Buckeyes - 0 players - 0 points (but he'll still be in the playoffs)

Players in the Draft - 4 players - 137 points
