To Tier or not to Tier?

#1 Post by Black Sox »

Todd,

I thought I remembered reading in one of your articles that you stated you were going away from a tiered method of drafting? If I'm remembering correctly why is that, and what method are you using in it's place?

I'd also love to here from anyone else on what method they use. Always like to see and hear other ways of doing things.

Maybe what I wrote was confusing, but I am a complete tier drafter.

Maybe you read I am getting away from target drafting? This is going to be a mini-crusade of mine this season.

My piece for today deals with a means of tier drafting for pitchers.

If you don't Tier, you will Tear

Todd,

Do you or anyone post their tiers on your platnium side at any point during the preseason?

Thanks Bud

Yes, we will be posting tiers starting with the March projection updates.
