Grading the DTBL

April 13th, 2012 by Marc

The 2012 season could be one of the most-wide open years in recent DTBL history, with a number of teams in position to compete for the title.

Over the next week I will post team overview snippets that include a letter grade for each of the 10 scoring categories for all teams. These grades are based on a combination of three player projection systems, and they rate a team against other DTBL teams.

The projections are the product of hard work from a friend of mine who is much more

proficient than I am at using spreadsheets. He built out full-year projections  using Pecota, Zips and a composite set of projections from MLB.com.

Thanks to those of you who responded so quickly with feedback on your draft! Also, as an FYI, unlike a certain league commissioner I didn’t rig these projections to brag about how great my team is
