Good explanation, Eugene. One thing I would add is, when all is said, the object is to put the best players on your team, and the ones who will be the best in a given year are fairly easy to predict. Selecting among the vast array of players who are "generally considered very good" is more of a crapshoot |

Alex, the problem is that 20 years ago you taught everyone how to calculate prices. Of course those were based upon single league, deep drafts. When softer mixed leagues started popping up, those who became the touts in those leagues began from your theories. The prices are linear. With better players available, the top players are worth less relative to the others. So, the prices have to go down. What this doesn't account for, and what you've been pointing out is that replacement level is so much higher. It means that players must be priced, rather than based upon the stats they create, but the stats they create relative to a team of the best player not drafted. In a 12 team AL league the best player not drafted puts up close to no stats. In a 10 team, 12 team, and even in a 15 team mixed league the best player not drafted is a full-time player, who is generally considered very good. He's a valuable major leaguer, not a fringe bench player. You probably shouldn't clue in your competition, if you want to keep winning the supertouts, XBL or whatever it's called. |

Without inflation, in an NL-only league, I would say the Sportsliners took Wright about as far as they could take him. Whereas people in mixed leagues should go to Rotoman's bid or even further. I keep pointing this out (see A-Rod and Pujols threads) because it just doesn't seem to be generally understood that mixed leagues are different. I mean, just for instance, let's flip open the Rotowire Fantasy Baseball Guide 2008 to page 41 (we can admit it, we've started buying magazines; it's that time of year). And what have we got? Mixed league 5x5 price for David Wright: $32. NL 4x4 price for David Wright: $37. Someone really should tell Jeff Erickson that he's got it all wrong. |

Wright went for $43 in the CBS Sportsline NL draft. I almost wish I said $44, because I think I could have driven him up to $7 or $48. Given the lack of third basemen in the NL, his value is considerable, if the steals stay. Since he is only 25, I still see room for improvement in all categories, with perhaps the steals leveling off. Don't think for a minute, however, that Wright hasn't thought about a 40/40 season. |

You know what? He hit .294 in May, .323 in June, .333 in July, .394 in August and .352 in September. So, uh... hem... haw... I think you're right. He could easily set another career high in batting average this year. I've added a dollar to my bid, but can't follow Mike into the $40 stratosphere because he's a stealth SB guy that pitchers are going to get wise to. |
