Buysellatops – Fantasy Baseball Buy/Sell Tool

‘Buy’ candidates have positive numbers in the ‘ROS $ minus STD $’ or ‘ROS $ minus L30Day$’ columns.  ‘Sell’ candidates have negative numbers in these columns.  The greater/lower the numbers, the more of a buy/sell candidate they are.

To filter results, use boxes in second row. For numbers/dates, you can use greater than (>10) and less than (<5).

Projections – The Rest of Season projections are produced by Steamer Projections with playing time estimates produced by Razzball.  Saves, Holds, and Quality Starts are estimated by Razzball.  These projections are updated near-daily and take in-season performance into account.  The playing time estimates (which covers Games and Plate Appearances for hitters and Games and IP for pitchers) leverage in-season data such as batting order position, games started, averages IP/GS, etc and do aim to account for players on the DL and, to a lesser extent, players who may be more likely to lose playing time due to injury or performance.  Short-term events such as getting sent down to the minors or losing a full-time role may take some time to be accounted for in the projections.

Point Shares Methodology ($ and PS) – The values under the stat categories are Point Shares (PS).  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 in Runs 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.  The $ calculations are based on the standard $260 allotment per team and is tied to the Point Share methodology.

ESPN / Y!:  This represents their position eligibilty in ESPN leagues (or any others based on 20 games last season/10 games this season) and Yahoo! leagues (10 games last season/5 games this season).

Owned%:  Based on ownership within the Razzball Commenter Leagues which consists of 64 12-team MLB leagues using the standard ESPN roster format.
