@LittlePanda: I’ve started a spreadsheet, but I got bogged down trying to make it work for any league configuration. I might try to start it back up if I have time.

And a donation button: I feel like the guys who are making the projections are doing the hard work. I’m just a middle-man. :-)

Speaking of which, I am sure you have addressed this, but have you considered offering your visitors the opportunity to pay for and download the price guide as a spreadsheet? I know you have pretty explicitly laid out the math behind it in other posts, but I am not Excel- or math-savvy enough to build a spreadsheet from the info you’ve posted.

It would be greatly appreciated.

[And, in any case, you should really add a donation button to the site.]

@LittlePanda: I usually wait until a spreadsheet version is released to ask, so I just haven’t asked about them yet.

I try not to make any assumptions about whether or not I’ll be allowed to use any projections. With PECOTA being pay-based, it’s a little surprising that all the rest (of comparable systems) are still freely available for use.

Sorry to make the first comment slightly off-topic, but about what you wrote:

“ZiPS isn’t on this site for 2010…”

Do you mean that the ZiPS projections aren’t on your site yet? Or that you already know that you won’t be using them on your site this year for whatever reason?

Thanks.
