First time playing in a 'Points League"..

Damn Ray, you're tha man!

Ok, so download and add NL/Al together then compute each cat * by point to produce the total points?
Example:
Player X is projected at 30HR
Take the 30 HR cell * 4 = 120
Do this for all cats..

That's right. Just combine them in one long sum like this: =(B2*1)+(C2*2)+...

Good stuff here but I think some cats I can't match with in Excel.
Is there not a total bases column in the spreadsheet? I could have sworn there was!

Ray is right, you can just take the Excel files themselves. Then create a new column called Points that adds and subtracts all of those stat modifiers for each row. Then you can sort on Points (or sort on Position and then Points within that position) to see who stacks up as your best bets to draft.

You might want the Valuator to see proper R$ values for your league's parameters, but frankly you can create your own R$ values once you have a ranked list of players.

Tips: A BB is as good as a Single, so high OBP guys are good to have even if they don't have much pop.

You lose a point for errors. Upton is not going to be your #1 minor leaguer...

What gives you the most points, by far? Right, Wins. Look for starting pitchers who are on good teams, and also middle relieving vultures. Those points will win your league. Go for double starts each week as much as you can (unless you have Pedro or someone with one start). Those double starts will be key to winning each week.

RKade, don't think you even need the Custom Valuator. Download the Excel projections file, and create a new column at the end of the data that calculates the projected total for each player in this format. There will be a few categories that we don't project, but those won't impact the outcomes much (except for holds guys).
