For those of you interested, I have just blogged my 2006 Strat Player Rankings. Means nothing, just another opinion, other than Strat's that look at the top players in our little hobby. Have updated my 2005 ranking also.

very nice Jay....but i seem to be conspicuously absent from the list.... :wink:

I'm sure it's just a typo.

Me too Mike. I'm so far down the list, I stopped numbering ranking. I got lazy and stopped setting pitching matchups and running setts daily. Not that it would matter anyway. Maybe a few pct. points.

Thanks jaydingess, for the kind words to my regard.

Not that I contest your methodology or anything, but the Tour teams are the only teams I carefully monitor. All the rest are testing teams to me----and credits that I burn :wink: , with some success stories 8) and many difficult learning experiences :P .

Tip of the cap to you, Jay. I thank you for the kind words. I've also been playing similar to Marcus. Follow the Tour teams and also work the heck out of our very tough private league -- [b:cb49549618]Jack's Friends and Family[/b:cb49549618]. Just finished our $60M/No DH league 78-84 in which every team was in the Playoff hunt with 6 games remaining.

Unfortunately, other leagues are starting to figure out my "testing" teams.
Sigh.

Updated tonite and had some interesting results.

JD -

i appreciate the props, but i dont really think im in the top 10 list. i draft a team and never look at it again. i dont adjust for injuries, i dont do anything...i just check the scores of the games and the running records of my teams (once a day if im lucky).

there are a lot better players who actually breakdown people in their division on a nightly basis, whereas i really only do it when i see moves happen.

the fun to me is the drafting part...and the waivers part...i guess just in creating a new team. then its on auto-pilot for me (unless of course its the tour finals or loto finals or something).

thanks again for the props though,

Spicki - your numbers are great and back up your ranking in my humble opinion. The four numbers I grade on are winning pct, playoff pct, champ pct and the tour (position). Whether or not you adjust everyday really doesn't matter. You are winning, period and winning on the tour.

This year is slightly confusing to me in that a lot of great players are not doing as well as they usually do. I think they are not playing as much, I think that like mrdata, the long-term guys are getting are getting a little bored. Whatever the case, new names are coming up with great numbers. Good luck to you and all the Stratheads out there.
