Top 30 Pitchers in 2011

admin — Mon, 30 Jan 2012 03:10:48 +0000

Here they are, your top 30 pitchers for 2011. Using our “Major League Equivalent Value” or “MLEV”, we’re able to project what a player would have been worth at the Major League level based on their minor league performance. The lower the minor league level, the steeper the ”discount” in terms of player values. Although Oakland certainly took a hit in trading Gio, they are primed with two major league ready talents in Milone and Peacock.

Minor League Fantasy Coverage

admin — Sun, 29 Jan 2012 04:00:17 +0000

It’s finally here.

After nearly two years of re-working, re-engineering, re-imagining, we’re back! Based on the feedback you provided in 2008 and 2009, we’re focusing our new site on tracking high-performing minor leaguers as well as long-term prospects that can have an impact for your major league fantasy teams. We will still apply our player value methodologies to the minor league players so you can more objectively assess performance rather than rely on the usual “Top” 20 or 30 lists provided in most fantasy mags. We will continue to track minor league values throughout the year to help identify those “surprise” players who despite their lack of pedrigee, draft position, etc. may force their way onto major league rosters by virtue of performance.

For those that have been with us since 2007, thank you for continuing the journey and for those who are new to our content, please enjoy.

Regards,

Dave Wysocky, GM Baseballinsights
