A Fantasy Baseball Leaderboard, Adjusted For Value
by Eno Sarris
October 8, 2013
Thanks to Zach Sanders, we have a retroactive fantasy leaderboard for value last year. Which is cool. But what if we could take away the resources we had to invest in those players? A first-rounder who returns fifth-round value is, after all, still a loser.
Thanks to FantasyPros, we can actually do this. They have an aggregate ADP from last March. If we just take the ordinal rank from our retroactive value board, and subtract the average ADP value, we get a ‘net’ value. Pretty easy.
So here’s a net value leaderboard, for 5×5 roto. You might be surprised about the number one spot. But not many of you will be surprised by how many pitchers rise to the top. We try to get them in the middle rounds, and when we get lucky, they’re great value propositions.

With a phone full of pictures of pitchers' fingers, strange beers, and his two toddler sons, Eno Sarris can be found at the ballpark or a brewery most days. Read him here, writing about the A's or Giants at The Athletic, or about beer at October. Follow him on Twitter @enosarris if you can handle the sandwiches and inanity.
This is definitely an interesting look, but I scrubbed it to include only players inside of 250 on ADP. Even that may be high, but what I wanted to see was how the expected players performed. There will always be guys out of nowhere, a classic Free Agent pick up that helps you win the league.
