I use the Custom Draft Guide - Dollar Value tool to update player projections in Excel continuously throughout the year. Adding the current stats to each teams projected totals gives me a great indication of how final standings will turn out.
However, for the last 2 weeks, the $ value numbers have started to look a bit goofy. I run the data for a 10 team NL only with the standard 5X5 stats.
When I do that, the top 140 batters (10 teams X 14 hitters/team) get values between $26 and $7 - shouldn't that go down to just above $0? Also, all other hitters get a value of -$.01 rather than increasing negative values.
As for the pitchers, 266 pitchers (instead of 90 players = 10 teams X 9 pitchers/team) get positive values between $26 and $0, while only 3 pitchers get negative values.
I know I don't need the $ values for the stats projections, but I do use them to help in trade planning.
Any thoughts?
