Scoring methodology & assumptions
Category values use pool-standardized component scores and volume-weighted percentage impact. Rankings use position-specific replacement depth, not provider draft rank.
Points = R + H + 2B + 2 × 3B + 3 × HR + RBI + 2 × SB + BB + K + 5 × W + 5 × SV + 3 × IP − 2 × ER. Categories: R, HR, RBI, SB, batting-average impact (hitters); W, SV, K, ERA/WHIP impact (pitchers).
Replacement depth per team: 1 C/1B/2B/3B/SS, 3 OF, 5 SP, 2 RP. Multi-position players use their best eligible replacement value. Auction model distributes the league budget over positive replacement value with a $1 minimum for draftable players; excludes bench/keeper inflation. Auction and regular draft use the same talent order without keeper costs; only the primary value’s units change.

Who should I keep in MLB?
Start with your scoring format, then compare the salary or draft pick you would surrender with each player’s current-season value. A keeper’s name alone does not establish a bargain. These comparisons do not assume future seasons, private Yahoo contracts or a guaranteed return from injury.
