2007 Atlanta Braves and New York Mets Fantasy Values

by faketeams on Dec 27, 2006 2:02 PM EST in Baseball

Here are the values I would pay in 4X4 NL-only keeper leagues that follow traditional Rotisserie baseball rules. I know most people play 5x5 leagues, but the translation should be fairly simple. Ask yourself, whether a player is valued correctly relative to those above and below him i.e is Andruw Jones better than Chipper Jones. If you have a mixed league auction, ask yourself who will go for more money i.e. Adam laRoche or Edgar Renteria. And so on.

Have I left someone off? Certainly. Are this lists impervious to alteration? Certainly not. There is a ton of off-season left, and situations change. But to prepare properly, you must have a general lay of the land, and these rankings will provide that. Let the debate begin!

Atlanta
$30+	Andruw Jones
$17-$29	Chipper Jones	Jeff Francoeur
	Adam LaRoche	Brian McCann
$10-$16	Edgar Renteria
$1-$10	Matt Diaz	Ryan Langerhans
	Kelly Johnson	Scott Thorman

$20+	John Smoltz	Bob Wickman
$10-$19	Rafael Soriano
$1-$10	Tim Hudson	Mike Hampton
	Chuck James
NY Mets
$30+	Jose Reyes	Carlos Beltran
	David Wright
$17-$29	Carlos Delgado
$10-$16	Moises Alou	Paul LoDuca
$1-$10	Jose Valentin	Shawn Green
	Lastings Milledge	Ben Johnson

$20+	Pedro Martinez	Billy Wagner
$10-$19	Tom Glavine
$1-$10	John Maine	Orlando Hernandez
	Ambiorix Burgos	Oliver Perez

Wow, you're really trying to stir things up

Brian McCann is in a bracket higher than Renteria? I don't see it. I think my posting that Renteria is available at $26 as a par value guy in our inflation driven league must have motivated you. And Amborix Burgos has a value other than $1, $2?

Propaganda!

This is to get you bidding like crazy for the flame-throwing reliever, you Mets homer!

Renteria has had three consecutive season's of basically 10/70/17/.290. Eliminate 2003, and he has essentially done that for the entire 21st century.

I do believe McCann is more valuable than Renteria. Renteria's SBs are not enough to off-set the production from catcher. A 22-year-old catcher who just went 24/93/.333 is something that would push Renteria to the next level down.
