2019 Votto is a Catcher Draft Grades

thanks to everyone especially VKC for their patience last night. happy we were able to finish the draft within 4 hrs even with the technical difficulties we had.



Methodology:

these are not meant to team rankings but are simply draft grades based on my custom auction values. this exercise is meant to answer this question:

"How much expected profit did you earn out of your $260 budget?"

as expected I came away with the most profit (they were my #s so of course they will look the best for me) so i will not be assigning myself a grade. however i will post my team summary and some thoughts at the end.


i will be breaking the analysis into 3 groups:

-Head of the class (FloridaTiger, VKC, Nyjer Please, Open Team)
-Honor Roll (Disable List, American Dreams, Metry Hit men, The Express, MafWic)
-Grading on a curve (4 teams)


Projected dollar amounts are only as good as the projected stats that they represent. i get mine from a very trusted website that constantly updates playing time projections.

my values have a few important distinctions-
-based on a 14 team league
-using OPS instead of average
-using saves + holds. adding holds opens up so much value that it devalues the entire position IMO
