Back to blogging
With the magazine gone to the printer and the online draft guide about to launch on Tuesday, I'm ready to resume blogging. I'm not sure about regular features yet, though I would like to do some keeper-type rankings as the spring goes on. One thing I will be doing regularly here is listing players whose draft guide projections have been updated.
This year's guide should be our best to date. Aaron Gleeman and I combined on over 1,000 profiles, and I've projected more than 1,400 players total. They'll be updated right through Opening Day, as will the top-250 lists for mixed, AL and NL leagues. Also, for the first time, I've done projected dollar rankings for future seasons (2009 and 2010). They weren't exactly scientific, but I think they provide nice guidelines for what we expect a player to do in the future.
There will be plenty of articles and other features as well. I don't think anyone who orders it will come away disappointed, and I'm definitely not just saying that because I want to make sure we outsell Rosenthal and company's football guide again.

Matthew- glad to hear you'll be back to blogging more. I wonder if you can help me--- I recall an article that I believe was on rotoworld several years ago--- it detailed the draft strategy that Rick Wilton and his partner employed. If I recall it was some acronoym and I believe part of it involved scarcity. Any recollection of this or any way I can get a copy? Thanks.

It's Glenn Colton and Rick Wolf. It looks like Colton's article on the full strategy is no longer on the site, but you can check out this recap and contact him if you want.
