I HOPE you are going to do this again for 2011!!!

Thank you!!!

Chone was rated#1 among all the projection systems last year.

Keep in mind projection systems don’t necessarily do a great job in predicting what the league leading RBI total will be, but they do a superb job in telling you who will lead the league in RBI. They are conservative, but only because they have to be.

So in short, Chone is stellar for telling you who is going to win your league. A bit less stellar in predicting individual outcomes of the league leading players.

If you have a set of players for a standard 5X5 roto (say 13 hitter and 9 pitchers), send me the names, I will load them to a War Room spreadsheet. That will at least give you Grey’s projections. Also, the name you would like for your team.

Also make sure that you add spots for the 13th and 14th teams on the user Input tabs.

if you have a 10 team league for example, delete the records in the “Pitching Per Player” and “Batting Per Player” sections that correspond to the blank team. In the 10 team example, this would be the last two rows of each section.

Then your rank will work. Good luck!

Thanks, this will be a huge help at my draft. I’m trying to use the auction draft with the inflation, but can’t add the teams. We have 14. The formula is not the same as it is on the straight draft sheets. I added the teams and also added lines and copied the formulas on the war room pages. What am I doing wrong? The formula I see in validation is $BD$1:$BD$12. I tried changing this to 14 at the end, and it shows two more spots on the dropdown, but doesn’t populate the names.

Thanks in advance for your help!

Thanks Again!

Thanks again to Lou Poulas for his innovative creation that allowed me to expand my own process.

1. I took your players page and made it a total players page based on CBS projections. (this allowed me to view who the best overall player was.)

2. I created a hitters only page and a pitcher only page. (this allowed me to view who the best hitter available was. and who the best pitcher)

3. I created a page for each position C, 1B ….etc. (to help me when I needed to fill a position and see who the next best player at that position was)

4. I made it so that every page that had player names input crossed them off when selected to a team. (right now you only have the breakdown sheet doing that.)

5. I made the player page usuable for 4×4,5×5,6×6 all the way up to 15 statistical catagories for owners. This feature allowed me to keep track of every catagory that we score in our league for both hitters and pitchers. I found that it is also usable for a league that plays head to head also.

6. I put in a positional breakdown on the warroom page so I could track which owners still needed to fill certain positions.

7. I took the player selceted feature off the warrom and created its own page with stats for all players on my team.

8. I have the hitter breakdown that lets us know which team is winning it what catagory.

9. I also have a positional breakdown page that allows me to see what team is projected to score the best at whcih position. C, 1B….etc.

like i said you laid the foundation but my league is so competive that I had to come up with a way to get a bigger advantage. Thanks so much for your time on this and if you are interested in viewing the one I created please email me at jerdogg2587@yahoo.com

@Dexter: Hi Dexter. I knew there was a reason why I didn’t include ranks in my initial straight draft. The formula isn’t recognizing the fact you don’t have 24 total teams. I don’t know how to automatically change this, but there is a one time manual work around you can do.

If you have a 10 team league, delete the records below Team 10 in both the batter and pitcher per player sections. In the 10 team league example, this would be rows 94 through 111. If you had 12 teams, it would be row 96 through 111.

Hope this helps!

I was wondering if you could do me a huge favor. I updated the 2009 spreadsheet myself with ranks and projections from cbs sportsline. However, along the way , I seem to have fouled up some of the formulas. If I email you the file, could you work your magic to make everything work. I’d be glad to compensate you for your time. You could even use it yourself/make it available for download, as it is up to date. I dont think it would take very long for you. I just dont have the time or patience. Thanks!
