I have revamped the rankings this year using a very simple idea.
 In the past, the rankings simply compared players "straight up," without consideration of whether or not a player was a JUGGERNAUT in a specific category which would increase that player's value.
What does this mean in plain English?
Rather than using a "straight up" comparison method, PLAYERtrack now ranks players in a category according to how far above or below a player ranks from the average baseball player and gets additional value, accordingly.
So, a player like 2009's Jacoby Ellsbury gets extra "fantasy cred."
The average baseball player in 2009, with a minimum of 20 games played at a position and 250 ABs had EIGHT stolen bases. So, Jacoby gets more value in the rankings (and rightly so) because he was 62 SBs above the average player.
That is huge.
And, I think PLAYERtrack is now even better than before because of it.
What do you think?
