R$ vs 5x5?

[natsfan99]

For example Carlos Lee projected R$ = $36 and 5x5 = $33.

What exactly do these two numbers signify?

Thank you!

R$ is "Rotisserie" value for a standard 4x4 league, and 5x5 is the roto value when you play in a 5x5 league. It represents the projected value Carlos should produce in 2009, assuming you play in a standard rules league. If not, use the Custom Draft Guide link to produce results for your specific league, and then the R$ will reflect your league.

Got it. Thank you.

12$ vs 15$

Pujols' R$ = $46 and his 5x5 = $41 (which you already explained).

BUT, I also see 12$ and 15$ as categories in the player projections?

For e.g. Pujols' 12$ = $40 and his 15$ = $38. What do these mean? (If there is a place on the site to find this please direct me as well). thank you!

[NICK@HQ]

I didn't know what 12$ and 15$ meant either, so I used the Search function to look for "12$" and "$15" and came up with this article that explains 12$ means values for a 12-team mixed league and 15$ means values for a 15-team mixed league.

Some links that might be helpful:

Yes, $12 and $15 in the mixed-league projection files are the 5x5 values for 12- and 15-team mixed leagues, respectively.

AL-only projections are based on 12-team AL only leagues, and 13-team NL only leagues. These are the values found in the single-league projection files, and on the Playerlink pages.

Thank you both!
