		<title>2010 Adjusted ESPN Shortstop Rankings</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Shortstop isn&#8217;t exactly shallow this year, but one thing stands out more than anything else:  At-Bats.  It&#8217;s all about ABs.
In fantasy baseball, plate appearances and walks aren&#8217;t counted as primary statistics.  The importance of a players batting average has everything to do with his at-bats.  After that, we&#8217;re dealing with some speedsters that deal with [...]

		<title>2010 Adjusted ESPN Second Base Rankings</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Second base has long been a black-hole for fantasy owners, but the position&#8217;s grown deeper in recent years.  Unfortunately, I have very little faith in the hands-down top second baseman, Chase Utley.  One number sticks out in my mind more than anything else about Utley:  1978, Utley&#8217;s birth year.
Utley will be 31 years old for [...]

		<title>2010 Adjusted ESPN First Base Rankings</title>
		<description><![CDATA[First base always seems to be deep and this year is no different.  There&#8217;s a handful of elite first-basemen with very few questions and the position&#8217;s about 14 players deep before questions start popping up.
The only problems you&#8217;ll run into with first basemen is getting enough of them before they start falling off the [...]

		<title>ESPN Player Universe: Depth, Averages and Visualization</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The staff at ESPN generally puts together a solid ratings set, but because they only give us batting average rather than hits and at-bats; it&#8217;s hard to gauge the actual batting average value.
I ended up using the ESPN rankings along with the AB that CHONE projects to come up with a value for each batting [...]

R = 0.84
AB = -0.16
H = 0.962
W = 5.21
K = 0.43
SV = 2.23
IP = 1.85
BB or H = -0.5

		<title>The Fantasy Baseball Perfect Point System: Pitchers</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Yesterday, we cycled through the hitters on our way to creating the perfect point system.  Everything worked out dandy, so it&#8217;s onto the pitchers today.
A Quick Note:  these rankings do not take into account scarcity, which we&#8217;ll get into when I rank the players.  Simply applying the formula by itself to rank players will [...]

		<title>The Fantasy Baseball Perfect Point System</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Pitching System Available Here
Personally, I love playing fantasy baseball with a point system.  It allows you to tailor your fantasy game to just about any taste.  Head-to-Head and Rotisserie leagues bind you to a static value on any category that&#8217;s added, which isn&#8217;t optimal in most cases.  If you want to place [...]

		<title>Batting Average Assumptions For 2010</title>
		<description><![CDATA[When it comes to hitters, the only standard rate-statistic is batting average.  Pitchers, well, they get their ERA and WHIP, so I&#8217;ll deal with those in an upcoming article. Today, I&#8217;ll try to primarily focus on quite possibly the most difficult to quantify of all the statistics in your standard roto-league.
First, we&#8217;ll have to [...]
