Filter By Date for Stream-o-Nator or by Position for Player Raters (P = All Pitchers, -P = All Hitters):

Steamer Projections - Created in 2008 and maintained and operated by Jared Cross, Dash Davidson, and Peter Rosenbloom. One of the top (if not the top) performing projection systems based on our 2012 baseball projections test. Playing time estimates as well as Saves, Holds, and Quality Starts are provided by Rudy Gamble of Razzball.

Grey Projections - Grey has produced fantasy baseball projections @ Razzball for several years as part of his yearly preseason rankings. His projections have performed admirably against more mathy solutions – particularly given that his projections are release pre-March when playing time estimates are more hazy.

Auction Values  - Two $ values are provided per player based on a $260 budget.  The first one (which also determines rank) distributes dollars equally to hitters and pitchers based on number of rostered spots (so in ESPN which has 13 hitters and 9 pitchers, it would give 13/22 of the $260 to hitters and 9/22 of the $260 to pitchers).  A slight adjustment is made that boost the amount of $ to hitters vs. pitchers to account for the greater predictability found in hitting stats vs. pitching stats in the aforementioned 2012 test.  The second dollar value is based on a disproportionate distribution of dollars towards hitters (for ESPN leagues, this is $180 to hitters and $80 to pitchers).  This valuation leads to rankings more in line with what is seen in typical snake drafts.

Point Shares Methodology - The values under the stat categories are Point Shares.  They represent the estimated difference in an average team’s points if they were to substitute a given player for the average player at his position.  So if a player has a 1.0 for Runs, he would, on average, increase a team’s standing points by 1 point.  Multi-position eligible hitters are assigned their most valuable position for Point Share calculations based on the following order of most valuable to least valuable: C, SS, 2B, 3B, OF, 1B, DH. For more information on the methodology, see here.

Data Sources for Auction Values / Point Shares:  These results are based on a combination of Steamer and CAIRO data as this combination proved to be slightly better than any single source in our 2012 baseball projections test.
