Re: 2008 draft worksheet instructions

Hi Rob. I've been using a slightly modded (mostly cleaned up some logic and color schemes) old version of your draft worksheet for a number of years now. (The old version doesn't have the projections and the comments.) It has worked pretty well for me, meaning yeah, most of the time my team sucked b...

Re: Top AL prospects?

Neither Michael Ynoa nor Michel Inoa is going to be pitching in the major leagues until the 2012 season at the earliest. He is 17 years old and is just now starting to pitch pro...

Re: Free projections?

Here's a list, which is likely only scratching the surface. The biggest challenge with any of these is arriving at a playing time projection. Most don't really attempt it, especially this early. Marcels are essentially a formula of previous systems, weighted. Data manipulation and other subjective f...
