@Josh: I took off the unadjusted numbers when I added ZiPS, because I didn’t want to have to update both versions with the new projections.

If people are still interested in using the non-adjusted numbers, I can add them back. (But it might be a while before I get ZiPS added in with it…)

Hi Mays,

You may just be testing something out now, but the non-adjusted has disappeared for me (actually, the one that is left doesn’t say adjusted, but it’s giving the values that the previously “adj.” one did). It just occurred in the matter of the last hour or so, in fact, I was looking at the non-adjusted version and then went back to the main Price Guide page, when I noticed the change.

If this is intended then feel free to ignore this comment.

I’ve been using a blended forecast of CHONE and CAIRO for rate production (ie: HR/AB, RBI/AB, etc). For the playing time I went with the FANS database on Fangraphs. For any player who didn’t have a FANS projection I just reverted back to an average of CHONE and CAIRO. There was a discussion of this at BBTF that I’ve linked to with my user name.

Mays, what about the fangraphs.com community projections? Would those be a good measure to use? Are those available for you to use?

Also, another question. My auction will be very close to the start of the season. Is there any way to run the price guide and exclude the players who have been cut during spring training?

Mays,

Great! Have you updated the CSV files on the upload site to include the adjusted playing time?
