I had planned on using a mixture of projection systems like Steamer, ZiPS, the Fan projections from Fangraphs and maybe a few other systems this year to do my projections and rankings. But I’ve recently been going through the positions and comparing Steamer’s projections to ADP, and I’ve found that

There gets to be a point where total run index becomes more or less ineffective. That point hits squarely when we are talking about relief pitchers. Relief pitchers offer one or two categories (depending on your league) in spades and these categories have little to do directly with TRI. So,

Profile Taijuan Walker was drafted in the first round (supplemental) with the 43rd pick overall out of high school in Washington state and secured an $800,000 signing bonus. The 21 year-old right-hander stands 6’ 4”, weighs 210 pounds and looks like he might fit in more as a basketball or

Profile One of the more highly anticipated Major League prospects set for his first full season is Xander Bogaerts, Boston’s top prospect.

In anticipation of the upcoming 2014 Major League Baseball season, I will be looking at players who you should be targeting on draft day. Hyun-jin Ryu, the second-year starter for the Los Angeles Dodgers, will be the subject in this instance. Much like his fellow countryman Psy, who produced the

Projections for the 2014 season are out from steamerprojections.com. After the 2012 season, Razzball did a study on the most accurate projection systems, and Steamer seemed to be one of the better systems at projecting both hitting and pitching. So I wanted to find a way to turn the Steamer projections into

We reach the end of the line in terms of the starting pitchers we will officially rank, but you will see far more than 60 used in your league. Even ten team leagues will probably see closer to 100 starting pitchers used than 60. Judging by the ADP, in a
