Preliminary Auction List

Postby Peaks » Wed Dec 12, 2018 1:06 pm

I'll repeat the annual caveats about this list...

1. It's not final.
2. It doesn't account for any Cutdown Day decisions. Any players cut could make this list, knocking guys off the bottom. Usually somewhere between 5-10 guys get knocked off.
3. There could be weird cases like guys that are really on a roster but if they didn't play in 2017, they may show up here temporarily. I think I got them all (Muncy was the biggest case), but who knows.
4. It's not final.

This is really just a ballpark view of the sort of players. After I get the Cutdown Day disk towward the end of the month, I'll make the real list.

If you find errors, you can bring it up, but I'm really not going to do anything about it or update this list based on any findings, unless there is a gross problem.

Commence the annual bitching...

Pretty sweet Top 20.

Dreck after that.

Nice to see BDBL Weekend folk hero Jake Ca-vay make the list. For now.

You know you're in trouble when we have a 3-year grading system and #10 on the list only pitched last year.

Thanks,

Lee, it’s current year and three-year VORP. It’s a Baseball Prospectus stat that seems to have little to do with actual value on a baseball field.

You have to go to their sortable stats and then build a custom report adding the VORP column. I have to do it every year.

Thanks, Greg. Usually I'm good at finding that kind of stuff, but this one was interminable. Ans thanks for putting in that effort every year!
