Combined Bats/Arms Rankings?

Hi Todd, do you have combined rankings for the NFBC Main Event? I know you have hitters in one spreadsheet and pitchers in another, but when combined and sorted by dollar value it has Cole 1st overall and the order seems top-heavy with pitchers. How do you suggest ranking all the hitters and pitchers together using your data so it appears something like follows...
1. Trout
2. Acuna
3. Yelich
4. Betts
5. Cole, Pitcher
6. Bellinger
7. Scherzer, Pitcher
etc.

Combined rankings depend on the hitter/pitcher split. The NFBC prices are intended for the auctions. I'd try ranking by the 15-team mixed prices and if that doesn't look like you want, you'll need to play with the CVRCs, altering the hitting/pitching split.

If pitchers are still too high using 15MIX, try 71% hitting, 29% pitching. If they're now too low, use 70/30.

All that said, being married to rankings suggests you're too reliant on rankings and not thinking enough about roster construction. Whether to draft a pitcher or hitter shouldn't be dictated by rankings, but how you want to build your team.
