Only works for Marcel, though. Also if anyone wants to try out the reliability scores on the Price Guide, just add “&rel=Y” to the end of the address when you build values.

It would be nice for fantasy owners if Gordon had a lower reliability, but the truth is that he has established a very low level of play over an extended period. In a lot of cases, you're better off with the devil you don't know instead of the one that you do. :-) I just multiplied each player’s adjusted total score by the reliability factor.

I'm wondering how exactly you incorporated the reliability scores. Did you multiply the dollar value by the reliability? Or multiply everyone's stat lines? One other thought I had was making reliability a separate category, although would be some problems with that. Reliability is a weird thing though, because as I understand it, having a higher reliability isn't always a good thing. It's good for Johan Santana or David Wright to have a high reliability score, because that means the system is relatively sure that they will be superstar caliber players. Someone like Alex Gordon, though? Is it better for him to have a lower reliability score, since that would account for the possibility that he breaks out and has a monster season? Very interesting.
