Doyle’s final preseason rankings from his newsletter:

Real ones know Doyle reads the forums and he was won over by the steadfast ardor and positivity of ZYanksRule.

It's strange because Doyle is consistently down on Magno and Raul but any ranking that high would seemingly require both to have exceptional seasons. Although Doyle has been steadfastly bullish on Ojeda so maybe he's banking on a big break out season from him.

Doyle reads these forums???
Hey ya mooch, when are you going to pay back the $100 I loaned you last summer?!?!?

I think Doyle did occasionally skim the forums back when John Muller was still active here.

Is this a real thing? Who is John Muller?

Not to full certainty but there were times that Doyle referenced things that seemed to come straight from things written here. It might even have been explicit though my memory is not clear on that.
John Muller used the handle dummyrun here. He co-founded The Outfield and later wrote for the Athletic.
