I'm traveling all day Friday, then speaking at the First Pitch Forums in Cleveland (S at)and Chicago (Sun) so we will have the projections and values updated by Thursday night.

If I can comfortably access my laptop on the flight, I will pound out the tiers Friday. As of now, I am driving the 6 hours back and forth between sites, but hope to be able to find a flight instead, which will free up about 8 hours of content time.

This is just the first wave, will be doing more for the first week in March and all through the month.

Still to come is draft strategy, inflation and a comprehensive player pool analysis, along with an NFBC primer.

Then we will take requests through the rest of the month.

obviously continuing to update projections.

Oh yeah, minors stuff from Shawn Carey as well!!!
