Fantasy Baseballers: What are your go to metrics when analyzing players?

Redd rankings

No, more asking what you use to gage how a player is going to do this year. Anything special you use to determine who is about to breakout?

K/9 and ab/hr is a good stat to use for guys who may not have gotten an extended look in the bigs.

For instance, Edwin encarnacion's ab/hr hinted he could have nice power numbers if given a chance.

Jeff Samardjza would be a good pitcher example.

Metrics really don't play that big of a role, though. You win by having guys who produce in your 5x5 categories, plain and simple

I think this guy wants to talk about biaap and piihb. Barry alter.

oh....xfig and shite?


I cant help him there

Yeah, this is definitely @barry territory

I had a friend who drafted E5 every year from 2007-2011 because he always told me he would hit 35 homers one year. Gave up in 2012.

In prospects I look for at least a walk for every 10 ABs and an OBP above .340. I'll take a shot on prospects who don't have a lot HRs but have a lot of doubles. It's only a matter of time before some of those doubles become HRs

For pitcher prospects it's all a out WHIP a d K/9

An overlooked stat is the HBP, don't forget to check that.
