great post, grey. i wish you would do more like this, though it definitely works better in the pre-season. it would seem to me that this is inherent in rankings; it’s why i rank my players separately every year, though i never consider them perfect. while they may need tweaking and look crazy at times, it’s impossible to say that they’ll ever *be* perfect.

last year i reached heavily for sandoval, hanson (to an extent), and votto and was rewarded heavily. if he’s typically going in the 7th round and my mind says he’s 5th round talent, i’ll draft him in the 5th round. it’s more about players i want than what his ADP is.

@brett: Thanks, Brett! I should explore the Fangraphs site some more, for other stuff as well.

@Simply Fred: Sure will. My first plan is to put this in terms of SB allowed per inning pitch. After that, all i want to use it for is to stream SAGNOF players all year based on who they're up against. This will only work in leagues with unlimited transaction, so i might only be able to try it in a league or two but i'll be sure to let you know how it goes.

That reminds me:

Does anyone know if there’s a database out there with “stolen bases allowed” or something like that for pitchers? I know Chris Young is the king of this but who else can i take advantage of?

i guess i should add to that:

Click on “Leaders” at the top to get previous years’ stats, then click on “pitchers” then click “Advanced”. That’ll take you here:

or click on “Projections” instead of Leaders to get projections for 2010.
