A couple of miscellaneous notes for this Tuesday:

  • The scripts to add dollar values to ESPN and CBS leagues have been updated to show values on pages after ajax updates.

    If you have been using these scripts in the past, you may have noticed that the dollar values didn’t show up when you clicked on certain links. I think that has been corrected, now.

    If you haven’t tried adding dollar values to your league homepage (and it works for Yahoo leagues as well), the scripts to do that are available on the Price Guide.

  • To date, I’ve been updating the previous day’s stats the following morning, whenever I happen to wake up. (Sorry, I can’t stay up for west coast games…) The stats update process has now been automated and scheduled for 3:00 AM EDT each morning.

  • It will be interesting to watch Brett Cecil’s first major league start today. He projected as surprisingly decent (low 4.00’s ERA; WHIP in the 1.30’s; pretty good K/9), comparable to guys like Gil Meche, John Maine, and Jeremy Bonderman. With his good projection and a very strong spring performance, he’s someone I would have targeted in drafts if he had opened the season in the Jays’ rotation.

    Cecil’s AAA stats so far this year have not been impressive, but some of that is the product of the environment. I wouldn’t be surprised to see Cecil do well if he gets a long enough look in the majors.

  • With about a month of the 2009 season now in the books, I’m going to start looking at some of the players who have the biggest gaps between projected dollar values and value to-date. Should we be trusting one price over the other?
