Draft this Sunday 23.00 GMT
I used linear weights as the basis for
the batting, FIP for the pitching, with
a couple of adjusters, and what I could
with the 6 ESPN fielding options.
For last year the top batters would have
scored tops 8000. Using this scoring for
last year Bautista, Pujols, Votto,
Cabrera, Hamilton, Carlos Ganzalez,
Konerko are the top 7. At 1000 points
per WAR matches up quite well with
batting, probably about 7-10% too high.
Starting pitching had Hernandez tops at
7000+ last year, followed by the usual
suspects, Wainwright, Halladay, Josh
Johnson, Jimenez, anout 2-5% low
Top relief pitcher was Marmol at 3000
followed by Wagner, Wilson and Bell,
immediately followed by the top set up
men, Gregerson, Adams, Belisle, Thornton
last year around 2200 ie 2.2 WAR which
is spot on.
Fielding tops out at just over 2200 =
2.2 WAR, which is pretty close to MLB,
and reflects fielding positional
adjustments, and in general the best
ones are toward the top, although it’s
less accurate than the batting and
pitching.
