As odd as this sounds, Do any articles or rankings take this into account?

As for differential I mean difference between a top tier player's numbers and someone in the next tier by each position.

For example at 3rd base, Evan Longoria is projected to get 105/34/120 while Youk a rank 10 is only going to go 75/19/85. Giving Longoria a 30/14/35 difference.

At 2nd,Cano is projected to go 105/27/105, while Aaron Hill at 11 is projected at 75/18/80... Giving a difference of 30/9/25

At catch, Carlos Santana is projected by Grey to go 80/25/90 while Soto at 10 is projected to go 60/18/75...giving a difference of 20/7/15...

This shows that is more preferable to pick a high end 3rd basemen such as Longoria or Bautista then it would to pick a high end 2nd basemen like Cano or Pedroia and ignore high end catchers like Santana or McCann....because the drop off is greatest at 3rd,then 2nd, then Catcher...etc.

This is why I say draft a top tier 1st, 2nd and 3rd baseman and punt catcher and shortstop... Tier differences are taken into account.

If you want me to look at your team, post the team. Don't post a link to another site where the team is.
Have you given me all the info I need to judge your team? The number of teams in the league is a good start for the big overall questions.
Is your league H2H? Roto?
I don't know who's on your waivers. Don't just ask me who you should pick up. Give me names to choose from.
If you only have one team, post your team in your signature with the league parameters.
I don't know every single matchup for next week, so if you want me to choose a player for the following week and you think the matchups are important, tell me who they're facing.
