That said, there are so many other variables, that a ranking list should really only be a guide.

Big problem with my era/whip valuation is that it does not sufficiently value pitchers with a high ip, but average era + whip (also applies to pa/obp). Given the nature of multiplicative scoring, having a pitcher that anchors you to a median score is very valuable.
i.e. If you had a player with a slightly below average era + whip, but infinite ip, that would be the most valuable player in the game. But I would have them as the least valuable. So I probably need to do averages based on the min average for a non-tanking team, or maybe one above that.people called me an idiot for burning popcorn in the microwave, but i know the real truth. - nullnor

I think I matched up Babe Ruth and Walter Johnson's scores, and then hoped that it would filter down to create a balanced overall ranking for hitters and pitchers ... it didn't. So like you say, keeping things separate is probably the best way.
I do completely separate sheets for POS, DEC, LET, FRAN ... tack them to the end of the player-value calculation for each player ... and that's the only thing I change from draft to draft.
After that, it's just mental calculations based on strategy stuff, drafting tendencies etc

Originally posted by revo View PostI’ve used a pts per stat metric for years (decades??) now, and then use a very unscientific multiplier depending on the type of draft (era, franchise, letter, etc). I still don’t think I have it down just yet — how much more time do I need?? — but it generally works well enough.
I still tend to draft without a punt strategy most of the time and typically just use a VBD type strategy.

VD 15, however, seems slightly different.---------------------------------------------

My scoring is more involved because ive done it so many times for fantasy baseball. One year I got rotowire and matched their values for hitting (and came close on pitching). I.e. they had derived the same formula as mepeople called me an idiot for burning popcorn in the microwave, but i know the real truth. - nullnor

My most recent adjustments for fantasy baseball are for how I apply inflation. I say it so that the total inflation $ is the same, but more of the inflation money is on the high $ players. So if inflation is 33%, I dont waste it changing $3 players to $4 players, and $30 players end up higher than $40. Without that I would never get a high $ player in ponypeople called me an idiot for burning popcorn in the microwave, but i know the real truth. - nullnor
