no more updates.

I tried to copy/paste the Zips projections (currently 28 teams) but it was taking a long time. Does anyone have this on Excel yet?

I don't know if they're done with ZIPS. I believe the Twins were just released yesterday. Usually a spreadsheet is available when all teams are done.

I think when they finish posting all 30 teams, then they have a downloadable spreadsheet.

I know the last 3 years, I've done this type of aggregation, ZIPS has been a part of it, and there is no way that I sat there and manually cut and pasted from each of the 30 teams' pages.

Looks like they posted their final version last year on March 31.

They seem to be almost done. I'm sure they will post something shortly.

It looks like PECOTA was updated. Any chance we can get an update for the aggregate projections?

[Curtis Pride]

I am not going to continue to update this throughout the pre-season. Depending on how much/if Chone, Marcel, and Oliver update their projections, in around 3 weeks I may make one update with new Pecota, add ZIPS, and those other updates. Maybe. Like a 7-10 days before the season starts (when a plurality of drafts occur)

But there are already 6 inputs into the spreadsheet. Even if BP increased it's Pecota projection for someone by 20%, it's not going to move the needle much on the aggregate projections because the other 5 inputs are all static. Therefore, even large Pecota variations would only move the aggregate projections by like 3%.

Good point.

Zips would be nice.

Great tool, thanks for putting the time into it and then posting it out there for us.

I have to say, the board is reaching quite the level of synergy this year. Between rookiesandcream mdp rankings, your aggregrate projections, and then yoda and co's drafttracker spreadsheet rolling everything into one. Pretty impressive to see a project like that come together.

Yes, I agree.

Some great work coming out of the Cafe this year. Congratulations and Kudos to all who have taken part. Having done some of these things in the past, I know how much work is involved. This is all very much appreciated.

Between these projection aggregates, the drafttracker spreadsheet, and the ADP data I have some really nice stuff to work from this year. Almost makes me feel like joining another league just to use all this.

Thanks guys! I look forward to doing this again next year. If you have any additions you'd like, please let us know.
