Stanton vs Trout (OBP league)

bstanley52  3/17/2015 8:21 AM

10 Teams | 10 Hitters Per Team [5 Active = R HR RBI SB OBP] | 12 Pitchers Per Team [5 Active = ERA WHIP SV SO QS]

In this league setup your projections have Stanton with an OBP of .390 and Trout with an OBP of .389. Why then does the OBPV show Stanton with a LOWER OBPV (1.73) compared to Trout (1.86)?

Also, do people use the projections and values produced on the BBM projections page as straight rankings or do they rank after seeing them?

Trout has more plate appearances so his weighting is greater than Stanton's which leads to a higher value.  For example, someone who hits 0.320 but only has 200 ABs is worth less than someone who hits 0.318 but has 600 ABs.
