Capped

Well, a lot has happened in the last week with regards to the world coming to a halt in order to slow the spread of the coronavirus. I know this isn’t where you come to get updates on the state of things, or my opinion on how things should be handled. All I’ll ask is [...]

  I know I have tried to do a lot recently on ranking players in salary cap leagues, in addition to sorting out salary predictions that I could use as another evaluation tool in the rankings.

  With no relevant games on in the next few days, the All-Star game is all we really have to talk about, but since everyone gets quickly bored with the festivities, let’s look at some all-stars of our own.

  In looking more at my player salary projections, there are a lot of players that the numbers make sense for, at least when I think about why they come out as they do. In some cases, the numbers force me to re-evaluate my pre-conceived notions on a player or situation, which is one of [...]
