That's the one thing with projections and "projectable" players -- the mean (or median) projection can't sell you on his upside, even if you know it's there. But it's when I assume I'll get it that I can get into trouble! <br /><br />Good read on Marmol too.Goose Joakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13751086302948001875noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1250785785466880958.post-22574144290710050412010-02-20T16:55:29.659-06:002010-02-20T16:55:29.659-06:00The "fudge factor" is what makes fantasy...The "fudge factor" is what makes fantasy fun Dave. I'm a little surprised that Price is overvalued because when I researched him it seemed like he was not getting enough respect for the potential he holds. I can see why Hughes would be a forgotten man since he's a set up guy. That was Carlos Marmol in 2007 and 2008 too.Schruenderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01804838312617606137noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1250785785466880958.post-48009614774577984812010-02-20T01:55:12.931-06:002010-02-20T01:55:12.931-06:00Also, FWIW, I don't (or rather, didn't) de...Also, FWIW, I don't (or rather, didn't) debate the merits of any player projection. For me, I've found that it's best to hold my instinct in check and leave the stats alone. I'll "fudge factor" certain guys up and down on my draft board, based on educated guesses, but playing with the numbers themselves helps me to do stupid things like draft Lastings Milledge. If I wishcast stats, I end up wishcasting too high.Goose Joakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13751086302948001875noreply@blogger.com
