Fantrax Best Ball Tracker

[Sowa]

Does the best ball Excel tracker show projected standings/total points for the different teams as the picks are input? I don't see them anywhere but want to make sure I'm not missing it. Also, what is the difference between the Raw and Adjusted point projections?

No, I don't track points on any of the Best Ball trackers. I just don't see the need since the strategy is maximizing weekly lineup spots and it can't capture two start pitchers, or weeks when your Rockies hitter is at home, etc. That is, doing so and drafting players to "win the standings" could be detrimental to constructing a team to win the league.

RAW is the actual number of points each player tallies.

ADJUSTED accounts for the replacement level at each position. I have pieces discussing this archived, if you want to check them out, let me know and I'll dig up the links.

That explanation makes perfect sense. Thanks. If not too much trouble to dig up the pieces on the replacement level, that would be great. I'd love to give them a read.

Below is the most recent. There are more (most repeat the same ideas) in Z Files Archives. Click the Z Files Archive link, search for "points" and check out anything with an interesting title
