I think your.822 per dollar spent is wrong. It doesn't match up with 21.7 percent inflation. Did you mean .783?

Great insight for those of us trying to devise a game plan once calculating the inflation, Mike. I never like dumping a category, but depending on the inflation, it might be the wise decision. It's also helpful to split out the inflation hitting vs. pitching in your specific leagues when heading into battle.

I've always been curious about other keeper leagues and what there needed point totals are.

I'm starting my 23rd year in a 5x5 NL keeper league where we haven't had an owner change in 9 years. Getting to 100 points would net you 3rd, 3rd, 2nd (but still 13 points behind), 4th, and 2nd. We have active owners who trade but tend towards extreme rebuilds.

This seems a good place to ask for some advice from knowledgeable rotisserie plays.

The Michigan Baseball Confederacy is about to start its twenty-sixth year. We are an Al-only 5x5, with app instead of K's, which is the source of my problem. The appearances category was added two years ago and it finally struck me that if i go for wins (I've led the category the last two years) I am not going to do well in appearances. Saves seem to very volatile.

So I've decided to go with only four starters this year. I have D. Holland and Cobb at $10.00, and Morrow and Shields at $13.00.

My questions: 1. Am I risking too much regarding Holland Cobb if I keep them? and 2. If you were going to drop one of those, who would it be?

All advice is appreciated.

So if an owner is freezing Oscar Tavares, who is worth $-10 in our league, would you use that value when calculating inflation or would you use replacement value, $1? I would be inclined to use $1 since he will be replaced right after the auction.

repeat this article yearly. thanks.
