I will be using Yahoo! auction values for this and specifically used how much players go for on average and NOT what Yahoo! says they should. I primarily used ATC and Steamer for the projections. The players are listed based on their cost and I’m only listing all of the players who go for more than a $1 and select
Read moreI propose a new system of finding value. Predictions can be different (though lately I prefer ATC) but while it’s impossible to predict exact player performance, we can predict their “rough numbers”. How do we know whether the player is worth his price however? I primarily deal with auctions and decided on the tier system based on standard Rotisserie leagues.

The difference in price between him and DeGrom is also ridiculously high despite how close they are in ability. 2. Jacob DeGrom, NYM A contender
Read moreHow accurate were auction values for players this season? I decided to take a quick look at whether or not there were any “safe” price ranges this season.
