There are any number of formats we could evaluate, but my personal favorite has always been total points. It has a number of advantages. First, it is a growing format in that daily fantasy sites use it exclusively (although they may have different formulas). Secondly, it apportions an appropriate weight

First base and catcher could not be any more different, but one of the commonalities in fantasy sports is the concept of replacement value. In other words, how much better is one player than the next available player at that position. Both catchers and first basemen have minimal replacement value,

As the World Series nears its conclusion, it is a good time to start tieying the bow on the 2019 season. We are ranking the top 15 players at each position according to six categories, total points, and total points per game. We will use all of them to come

We usually reboot the rankings every year when the Baseball Prospectus Annual comes out. It’s a good time for any number of reasons. For one, player movement usually has begun to slow down (this year being a notable exception). Secondly, it allows us to shift our thinking from what has

The major awards have been handed out and there was a fair amount of controversy there (as there always is), but now we are ready to move onto the second phase of the offseason. This is where we prepare for the hot stove season and player movement. Player movement certainly

As we did for the American League, we will handicap the National League MVP race in an organized fashion. Some people look at the best player regardless of how the team does while others look at the best player on a winning team. We will try to split the difference
