5×5 Mixed League MVP: Troy Tulowitzki (.429, 4 HR, 8 R, 8 RBI, 0 SB; $64.58) homered on Tuesday, homered twice on Wednesday, and hit another on Sunday, all in Rockies wins, easily posting the highest RotoValue of the week. It continues an excellent comeback season, and he’s on pace to set career bests in HR, RBI,… Continue reading Fantasy Players of the Week – June 3-9

Dominating Week 9: Brown Does it All
Domonic Brown entered the season as a one-time can’t miss prospect who looked like he just might wind up missing. In parts of 3 seasons for the Phillies, Brown never even reached 200 AB, nor did his batting line warrant a starting job, with a wOBA in the low .300s, and a career best slugging percentage… Continue reading Dominating Week 9: Brown Does it All
Players of the Week: May 20-26 2013
RotoValue makes it easy to see player statistics for any date range, so today I’m going to link to recaps of the week for three different league configurations.

Trout had a relatively slow start (.261… Continue reading Players of the Week: May 20-26 2013
Early Season AL Surprsises
Last week I looked at some NL players having particularly good or poor seasons relative to expectations. This week it’s time to do a similar scan at American League players. Mark Reynolds has been off to a hot start splitting time between 1B and DH, with a .302 average, 19 runs, 25 RBI, and league-leading 9… Continue reading Early Season AL Surprsises
Hot and Sour Soup – Early Season NL Surprises
What players are having surprising seasons, both good and bad? To answer that question, I compared prices computed from my RotoValue projections with ones computed with 2013 stats through Friday. Here are the biggest positive surprises in a 5×5 NL league: Evan Gattis – With roto star Brian McCann missing the start of the season recovering from shoulder surgery,… Continue reading Hot and Sour Soup – Early Season NL Surprises
Less is More
I’ve given up trying to keep track of the daily moves for the Going 9 AL-only league at my site, but I am at least trying to track who is owned/unowned there. And I noticed that when I loaded the LeagueHome page, it would first show the standings, pause for what seemed like about a… Continue reading Less is More
Auction Weekend Recap
This past weekend we had the auctions for my two long-time leagues, the Park Slope Rotisserie League, a traditional 4×4 AL-only league, and the Ezra Stiles Rotisserie Association, a 4×4 NL league. This is the 25th season of the ESRA NL, of which I was a founding member, and the 26th year of the Park… Continue reading Auction Weekend Recap
One more preseason projection update
I’ve run a final preseason update for 2013, taking into account more recent injury reports, and also with another tweak in the playing time allocation model: http://www.rotovalue.com/cgi-bin/Search?league=4&year=2013&source=RotoValue In addition, I’ve uploaded the final preseason Steamer/Razzball projections: http://www.rotovalue.com/cgi-bin/Search?league=4&year=2013&source=Steamer/Razzball Also there’s a new feature: you can download search results as a .csv file by clicking on the… Continue reading One more preseason projection update
Updated RotoValue MLB Projections
I’ve previously described my process for projecting playing time, and I’ve done another update. After reviewing injury reports again, I’ve tweaked the part of the season some players are expected to miss, and then rerun the rest of the numbers, adjusting playing time totals so the season totals are plausible for each team. One big impact… Continue reading Updated RotoValue MLB Projections
Updated MLB Projections: MORPS and Steamer/Razzball
I’ve uploaded the most recent projections for both MORPS and Steamer/Razzball. These presumably incorporate more recent playing time projections. Also, Steamer has tweaked its model for pitchers a bit, adjusting regression means after finding its data were pessimistic compared to some other forecasting systems for 2013. For fantasy purposes, however, the actual forecast statistics themselves don’t really matter directly.… Continue reading Updated MLB Projections: MORPS and Steamer/Razzball
