re: SBL 2013 Spring Training (Keepers 3/17, Slow Draft to follow)

Who's a bigger bust candidate: Chase Headley or Edwin Encarnacion?
Tristan H. Cockcroft (11:10 AM)

Headley, if only because of the outrageous home run/fly ball percentage (20.5%), unlikely repeatable because of his spacious home ballpark (even accounting for the smaller dimensions in 2013). But I've got both players coming within reasonable range of their 2013 output, so I wouldn't call either a clear "bust" pick of mine. I just see Encarnacion's dead-on-repeat prospects being a little higher.

Is it unrealistic to expect a line of .290 25 90 for Anthony Rizzo?
Tristan H. Cockcroft (11:11 AM)

Yes, the batting average is unrealistic. I think Rizzo's drafting owners are investing in the chance at 30 homers, while accepting a near-fantasy-league-average batting average in the .270 range. And I'd argue that the proper projection might have him batting in the .265 range with 26 homers or so.

I assume ESPN would give you the option of setting eligibility criteria. Our previous criteria has been 10 games for the previous season and 5 games in-season.
