@anon: Agreed. This is definitely one area where the "wisdom of crowds" is not helpful. Some information is worse than none at all. The only semi-interesting part of Yahoo's research is the Transaction Trends feature, which lets you see which players are being added or dropped by the most people, but they made it a "Plus Feature" so it's no longer available for free.

@Dingo:

I have also had the misfortune of clicking the research tab in my YAHOO league. Until you just explained it to me, I never even had the slightest clue what the hell I was looking at. So that is really just random volunteers voting on who they like the most? hahahahahahaha. That is the worst “research” I’ve ever heard of in my life!!

Also, what is the percent started thing all about? What if I play in a 20 team league and you play in a 10 team league? Wouldn’t that drastically skew the numbers and make them completely useless?

Who am I kidding.. they’d be useless anyways even if done correctly

@Grey: Which 2 of these from here on out: Jones, Wigginton, Blanks, Milledge, or McCutchen. Don't need any one category moreso than the other.

@Martin: It's fair. I'd take the Votto side if I needed a 4th starter.

@Simply Fred: The "OK you missed.." was generic.. for any player that hadn't picked him up yet. Not intended toward, Grey, who had said Blanks is the new Jones.
