That’s the eventual plan. :-)

Any chance you can change (or add in) xAVG to display what you assume is the league AVG?

Same with xERA and xWHIP.

Any chance you include the projections that mulkowsky mentioned,if their already aligned it shouldn’t be too much trouble would it? JW love your site I just stumbled upon it from a link at the baseball cafe.

@mulkowsky: I saw that one, and it was a primary inspiration for adding mine.

I ended up getting all of the player names straightened out eventually. (I may have missed a few guys in the low minors, but no one with a fantasy impact.)

Someone on Fantasy Baseball Cafe posted a set of composite projections of 6 or 7 different sources. He didn’t say which ones, but he’s solved the alignment question so you wouldn’t want it. Let me know if you’d like it and can’t find it, Mays.

@Confused: It’s nothing important… I threw out CHONE’s NPB pitchers, and worked in Marcel’s save projections since CHONE doesn’t have them.

Also, I discoved that it’s a serious pain to align projections when one set insists on including Alexis Rios and the other on Alex Rios, one has Dave Bush and the other has David Bush… (And that’s before you get to the thousands of minor league players that are projected…)

any chance of you telling us what the extra is……or is that some sort of secret lol.

BTW I’ve actually done it by hand on excel your method except using the projections I mentioned before, full props to you though for guiding me through it.
