In theory, should the place I am in the standings for each category affect the remaining players' suggested salaries? i.e. if I have no stolen bases, will speedsters be given more weighting, or is the inflated price not taking that into account?

a report from using it for my draft:

It crashed to desktop on average every 10-15 picks or so.
It's decent when it's working, and it's nice to have access to the projections in an organized maner.
The main thing I don't like is the UI. Specifically:
* If I choose a player to be drafted that's projected to be worth -21 dollars, it is pretty unlikely that his salary in our league is going to be -21, so maybe default the price box in the middle column to 1 if it would be under 1?
* I'm maybe more sensitive to this because of how many times I had to start the program, but it's annoying that basically all of its interaction with me is driven by opening new windows.
* It's confusing that the UI to select keepers is the opposite of the draft software (in keeper mode, you have to click the slot the player is going to go into, then the player; in the draft it's the opposite)
