Better late than never... I started out frantically trying to get my computer to sync with ESPN... came in RIGHT when my #6 pick was up -- not good for the guy who started the league.

In The PLAYERtrack Lab #1: Standard Deviations
by: Rob Reed
| April 10, 2010, 12:21am
|       |
I believe that one of the major things lacking in the PLAYERtrack ranking system is considering the distance between the average player in a category and the highest/lowest in the category.
Because PLAYERtrack doesn't take this into account now, players like Prince Fielder get ranked lower than they probably should have. I discussed this a bit last Tuesday on Kevin Orris' Big O Show.
Just to keep you folks informed, I am currently working on incorporating standard deviations into the mix, which should better rank the players, in my view.
More discussion to come later on this issue once I get it off... [read more] |

Most popular players during the week before the 2010 season starts...

These are the Top 10 most searched players in the last week...
1. Asdrubal Cabrera
Folks are obviously looking for cheaper sources at short. Asdrubal is a decent hitter, but not one of my big targets. I don't think I have him on any of my teams this year.
2. Scott Baker
I think he should have good fantasy value this year. Apparently, a lot of folks agree.
3. David Wright
Will he hit 20+ HRs again? I think so. People are still hungry for reasons why he dropped down so much... he had the highest BABIP among all players with 150... [read more] |
My money-league results... opinions?

I ended up keeping Chase Utley ($30), Andre Ethier ($8), Cliff Lee ($18), and Adrian Gonzalez ($15).
Here is my final roster from yesterday, and the prices (10 team multi, 5x5 - except OBP instead of R - $260 salary cap - 3 IF, 3 OF, 1 C, 4 P in serpentine farm draft at the end).
For the first time in the 15 or so years that I have been playing in this league, I saved a ton of dough. $27. I'm not sure whether to rejoice or cry on this one... The reason: I got amazing... [read more] |
