My first auction league....

Postby ThatDude » Wed Mar 11, 2009 8:45 pm

Two questions....


A) Where can I find some good info about projected dollar values (starting with $260)?

B) Any general tips or advice for the auction/drafting process.
Sometimes it takes a crazy person to see the truth. If so, I'm a freaking lunatic.

I threw a few bucks at Baseball Prospectus last year and I pretty much don't go anywhere else anymore. This year, I'm using their Player Forecast Manager to plan my draft -- customize to your exact league rules/parameters and draft rules, then also customize your "financial disposition" in several ways. I'm using it to plan, but also during the draft: it adjusts dollar values and inflation (which I believe has to do with scarcity value of categories - both in the market, and within your team's needs) in real-time as players get picked up... I'm a little giddy to see that in action.

Disclosure: I am in no way affiliated with BP.

I threw a couple bucks at baseballhq.com.....and I really am regretting it. I don't like their info at all, and for some reason I can't stay on the website for more than 5 minutes at a time. If anyone has any other suggestions, I would love to hear them also.
