Idea for the upccoming Daily Weekly and ROS Projections

It has to be a HUGE challenge to try to project stats for each day's performance and trying ot consider L/R matchups, ball park factors and pitching and hitting strengths and weeknesses. I am curious about how you guys are going to keep up with this task.

One of the tools I used last year on a regular basis was the Accuscore projections from the CBS site. I read a little bit about how Accuscore does it and it seems to make real sense -- they apparently run thousands of computer simulations modeling each game using the factors I stated above and publish the results. Is this what you are going to do? Is there any way to form a partnership with either CBS or Accuscore to have a direct link to their daily projections? If they in fact updated simulations of every game for the rest of the year using projected lineups and pitching rotations (I'm not sure if they do this) -- imagine how powerful a tool you could have when you combine their data with your front end analysis tool! Wow!

We're currently preparing daily projections and will take many of these factors into account (pitching matchups, hitting matchups, ballpark, L/R).  Though our daily projections will work for every type of league, they'll be targeted toward daily league players (FanDuel, DraftStreet, DraftDay, and others). We want to make them very dynamic so we can adjust based on last-minute injuries or lineup changes.

As far as Accuscore, it sounds pretty interesting, and we'll certainly take a look at what they're doing.

Thanks
