Got Josh Donaldson for $1 as the last player on my roster in 2013...at this point in his career Donaldson's OPS was about .650 in approx. 330 PA's...he just exploded for me the next few seasons...I really lucked into him; I needed a reserve CI and he fit the bill....very happy no one said $2.

Hi Todd, I'm in a league that uses Holds so I need valid HOLDS projections to cut & paste into the CVRC league set-up in order to give me values I can work with. In the March 8 iteration of both the Pitching Projections and the CVRC the values in the HOLDS columns are duplicates of the values in...

Hi Todd, I just ran the hitting CVRC using the Feb 8 projections for my 12 team AL only 5x5 league and I have a question about the results. We have an auction budget of $315 to purchase 10 hitters/10 pitchers and I use a 67% hitting/33% pitching budget split. Based on these league parameters I set t...

Todd,

Thanks for posting the 2011 values...I've been trying to access the platinum download page to access the CVRC tool to customize the values for my league but have been unsuccessful...I enter my user name and password but not given access...any help would be appreciated.

First, thanks for a great season - I have three fantasy teams in three very competitive leagues and finished 1st, 2nd, and 3rd respectively. Mastersball was well worth the time and money invested! Was wondering if there was a chance that the 2011 player stats could be loaded onto the CVRC tool so th...

Perry, Thanks for your response. My current OF's are Victorino, Braun, Prado, and Holliday (have Hinske filling in for Holliday while he is on the DL). In my league Prado will have 3B eligibility after he plays 2 more games there. I Short term, I'd be looking to move Prado to 3B to replace Casey Bla...

I don't know much about Charlie Blackmon other than that he has some very solid minor league stats at Colorado Springs this year. How highly regarded of a prospect is he? Does he a figure to make a fantasy contribution this year or is he more likely up until Dexter Fowler returns from the DL? Any in...

Having blown 3 of 4 save opportunities this year what are the chances that La Russa makes a move to replace Franklin as the team's closer? If he does, who is the most likely candidate to replace Franklin as the closer?

cvrc Todd, The CVRC, using my league parameters, shows Pineda witha value of $9 and Niemann with a value of $4. To answer your question the pitcher that would replace Pineda should he be pulled from the rotation or sent to the minors would most likely be a MR. Because this league uses Net W instead ...

I'm in a position where I have to choose between an $11 Jeff Niemann or a $7 Michael Pineda.

Does the draft software include a tool for tracking league inflation during an auction?

gmatles

Thanks for the advice. I decided to make the trade. When I considerd the following: 1) 3B seems a little thin this year 2) SP always goes for more than I value in our auction 3) I have Brandon Lyon and Clay Hensley as potential closers on my roster and can usually pick up Saves either at the auction...

1) With Hoffman being torched yet again today in Milwaukee who do you see as getting the save opportunities when/if the Brewer's move in a different direction? 2) Same question for the D'Backs. They seemed to have lost patience with both Gutierrez and Qualls, who might they turn to for save opportun...

Todd, Thanks for taking the time to comment. One of the issues I've had in previous keeper league auctions has been deciding how much is too much for the remaining players. I think this method will give me a better handle on when and when not to jump in. I plan on going into the auction with a list ...

So who gets the saves in Minnesota now that Nathan is out for 2010 and probably into early 2011?

Will the next projection set be out today?

GM

gmatles

Todd,

Thanks again for your input! I'll watch for overdrafting OPS. And instead of weighing OPS at 1.0 I might lower it to .9 or .85 to adjust for your comment that OBP and SLG are only a "little more" stable than AVG.

Todd, As this is a new league and I've never played with/against any of the other owners before I'm not sure how the other owners will spend/select. I've decided on a valuation strategy of 72% hitting/28% pitching which is about where my other leagues have been in the past few years. I get your poin...

Todd - Would love your input (or anyone else's) on hitting category weights for a new league I'm playing in - 12-team mixed, snake draft league using 13 hitters (1-C, 1-1b, 1-2B, 1-3B, 1-SS, 1-CI, 1-MI, 5-OF, 1-UT) and 9 pitchers (any combo of SP & RP). All the categories are standard except tha...

daweasle, Thanx for your reply. I misstated the roster requirements. For hitters the UT position has to be filled by an IF. This will make the OF's a little a little less scarce at the auction. By the way, you were right on the money with your assessment of Ellsbury value in this league's format. Us...

Hi all! Hoping for some good advice from the more experienced players. I'm joining a 12-team AL-only league that has active rosters of 10 hitters (1 each of C, 1B, 2B, 3B, SS, UT + 4 OF of which 1 can be a DH) and 10 Pitchers (any combo of Starters and Relievers) + 7 man bench (any position).

I've played with several of the owners before and expect that approx. 70% of auction budgets will be spent on hitting. ...

gmatles

Todd, I totally understand your rationale for changing the category weights (i.e., HR's are less plentiful, SB are more plentiful, and BA is comparatively unstable). In terms of pitching it seems to me that, in general, because of factors such as lack of run support, faltering bullpens, etc., that W...

Todd & Viper,

Thanks for showing me how and where to input the values for RP, D+T, NSB, NW, & NS...makes my life much easier to have this done automatically.

Todd, I'm in a 5x5, NL-only league that uses the following scoring categories- Hitting: HR, RP (R+RBI-HR), OBP, 2B+3B, and Net SB Pitching: K, NW, NSV, ERA and WHIP While the CVRC can't compute these values for me automatically I've become pretty proficient at using MB's projections and calculating ...
