Apologies in advance for the dumb question but I was reading this thread and the draft kit thread and something is confusing me.

This aggregate that can be viewed on Google docs includes CBS, ESPN, Chone, Marcel, Oliver AND Pecota? My main thing is does this aggregate include Pecota in the average? I ask because in the draft kit thread there's mention of needing to be a Pecota sub to get the Pecota version but that might just apply to actually seeing the Pecota projections broken out.

Add my name to the list that would LOVE to see one more updated version including Zips, and any other update made to the original 6. Perhaps something before March 14th ;-)

Im a little slow but am i right in assuming players are listed in order of postion and then their ranking for that postion?

Yes, this average does include Pecota predictions, but it's not calling out the Pecota projections specifically, so there is no issue in sharing the information.

Second, yes, the player is listed by position, and then LOOSELY by value. However, this value is is purely quantitatively driven (not sanity checked at all) and the weighting is using OPS instead of batting average. I wouldn't rely on the rankings much at all.

Thanks Curtis Pride

I'm in school this year and have not had time to do a lot (any) of research. This will help me a great deal.

I will definitly use this.
