Product Description
How to Value Players for Rotisserie Baseball will teach readers how to calculate the best player values for their draft or auction. Art McGee applies concepts from economics, finance, and statistics to develop a pricing method that far surpasses any other published. His method is highly sophisticated, yet McGee explains it in terms that any fantasy baseball owner can understand and apply. In this new Second Edition readers will learn how to adjust values for position scarcity, injury risk and future potential, set up their own pricing spreadsheet, and make better decisions on trades, free agents, and long-term contracts.



Customer Reviews:

4 out of 5 stars Easy to follow method for analyzing players   March 18, 1999
 8 out of 9 found this review helpful

The book is great for beginners and for experienced roto guys. McGee lays out a simple way to value players as well as a more complicated option theory approach. The only drawback I see is that the baselines he uses are a little dated (1996) because of the home run explosion and expansion. Overall, a great book.


4 out of 5 stars The Definitive Book on Valuing Players   February 17, 1999
 7 out of 7 found this review helpful

For those of you that have wrestled with the issue of dollar values, position scarcity and valuing a player's future value in preparation for your rotisserie draft, this book is for you. McGee outlines a step-by-step method to set up his insightful valuation method in a spreadsheet. It really makes sense and it works too! I have been using the McGee method for the past two seasons and it has noticeably improved my draft performance. With all the information readily available to fellow owners it is much more difficult to find an edge at draft day. My spreadsheet gives me that edge.

It took me an hour or two to set up the spreadsheet the first year, but since then, I just plug and play.


2 out of 5 stars Fight through the Numbers...   February 14, 1999

If you have ever read up on the physics behind the principles of combustion, force, and friction to be able to fix your car's motor, then this book is for you. If, however, you trust that the people publishing roto projections and dollar amounts can't be too far apart on their methodology, then take a decent average of the amounts given in various magazine publications and leave this one on the shelf. This book has a high level of research that you'll have to do to make use of it's contents, and you'll need a computer spreadsheet for the data entry and calculations required, but if you've got the time (and no wife...) it's a winner.
