I would love to be able to plug in my draft picks as our draft is happening and be able to see (based on projections) what my averages end up to be at year's end. To help me see if I'm deficient in a category, heavy in a category, etc... I am sure it's got to be out there, but I thought I'd start with the #1 source for FBB info: The Cafe. Does anybody know of a program like this that you'd recommend?
Thanks, WHIR

Find or make an excel spreadsheet with 2008 projections and then create a pivot table of all the players. After you draft a player you can select him to show up in the results. It will allow you to summarize your stats in a number of different ways.
You assume that I am smart enough to be able to do that . . . .

I hadn't thought of doing that - nice idea. I'm sure there must be an article somewhere about what you should be aiming for in 5v5 roto (e.g how many HR, SB, etc.)?

I know some Excel, but not that much. I played around with the "Create Pivot Table" function but couldn't make much sense of it.
Roger Angell: I was talking with Bob Gibson and I said: 'Are you always this competitive?' He said: 'Oh, I think so. I got a three-year old daughter, and I've played about 500 games of tic-tac-toe with her and she hasn't beat me yet.'
As you draft, you can also just keep your projection spreadsheet open with a blank worksheet. As you draft a player, copy his row to the blank worksheet and have a formula row at the bottom to get totals.

So far I got NUT-ZING I can use. I did also e-mail ESPN ( to the "Answers Guys")and got the following response.
Thanks for contacting The Answer Guys.
I do not know of any free programs but Rotowire offers software with their draft kit, you can buy Rotolab through baseball HQ, and I have been using a program from insiderbaseball that I like -- though I am not all that happy with their projections (though if I had time I could put in my own). All let you see your projected stats during the draft, but you are looking at around $40.

MAN, if BR Prospectus had this I'd pay twice the amount....
Anyway, fi anyone has any other ideas that don't involve intense training lemme know~!

This is probably the easiest way to accomplish it for no charge. It's really not difficult at all, it would probably only take about 30 seconds to find the player and copy his numbers to another blank worksheet. It would just require a few clicks of the mouse. Learning the basics of excel would barely require any time at all especially if someone can sit with you for about 5 or 10 minutes - if not, most computer literate people can pick it up just messing around with it.
