The dollar value 'band' is also alot tighter (now $27 is the top hitter in my league vs. $43 previously) then it was before. Other than the 'top end' players though the values do seem to be slightly more accurate in my opinion. Again, this is just based off a quick 5 minute glance.

I'm currently playing around with adjusting the projections by playing time. The "2010 Composite (Adj.)" projections are an early attempt at that. @Mike: You haven’t missed anything; the post will be tomorrow.

I’m currently playing around with adjusting the projections by playing time. The “2010 Composite (Adj.)” projections are an early attempt at that.

I find this to be a big help when the draft starts to unfold... I've played out the scenarios to 4 or 5 rounds and don't have to scramble in my 90 second window to decide who next after a guy I was hoping to get in round 2 goes off the board right before me. I try to be realistic when doing this - looking at ADPs and not just hoping a guy will fall 5 spots to me. It really helps me not reach for players when I know that 1 or 2 rounds later I can get similar production and should instead draft a positionally or statistically scarce player.

What I'd really like to know though is what's up with the 2010 Composite (Adj) data on the Price Guide. Did I miss a post somewhere? Makes sense to me too.
