I just completed my first revision of this year's projections and rankings found here. Some important things of note that were updates:
As always, please leave a comment if you have any questions.
- I updated the formula for $$ allocation between hitters vs.pitchers. This is a topic that is very much debated between experts in the industry. A general consensus is between 65 - 70% of the total $$ should be allocated towards hitters while 30 - 35% should go towards pitching. For the longest time I used a 67/33 formula but felt that I was putting too much emphasis on pitching. I have adjusted my formula and it is now 69/31 which in effect slightly raised hitters auction values while lowering pitchers. The change isn't all that significant when you look at all players as a whole, however I felt the change was necessary.
- Recent player moves are now reflected in the rankings I.E. Jake McGee, Corey Dickerson, Howie Kendrick etc...
- Some players stats updates, mostly minor however I did go through the top tier pitchers with a bit more focus and made some adjustments. More adjustments will come, but most will continue to be minor unless there is breaking news that is very impactful.
