Updating Stats

#4586  4/9/2021 11:35 PM

I'm using Fangraphs for uploading stats to BaseballMonster.

Should I be using the Rest of Season stats?  Or should I be using the full season stats and will Monster adjust them?

Anyone else have good success with Fangraphs stats?

Zips doesn't have saves, so I can't use that.  I'm using Steamer.  But there is Steamer, Steamer (Update) and Steamer (ROS).

Thank you!

We don't do any adjusting so ROS would be best.

I've been using ATC with good success.

Thank you both. ATC is a good example of my question. It looks like their projections are full season... so halfway through the season, they'll still be projecting 150+ games for the best players. As kslight says, the monster doesn't adjust stats, so I think those projections will become less accurate as the season goes on. I think you'll want to move to a ROS projection system at some point. But I'm far from an expert here, obviously. Good luck!

You're correct, ATC doesn't do ROS projections AFAIK. Steamer ROS and Razzball ROS are probably your best bet based on historical accuracy. Ariel Cohen also seems to like The Bat X, but it's a newer system so YMMV. 

On this point, gotta shout out HarperWallbanger's free Custom Projections tool. You can combine different projection systems and even assign them different weights if you like one system more than another. It spits out one combo projection sheet that you can download as a .csv and upload to Baseball Monster too.

I've moved to using DepthCharts(ROS) for the season going forward. It looks like it rolls up Steamer and Zips and has a good track record.
