Recommended: RotoWorld Draft Guide
Aside from my own websites, I've been a regular contributor of fantasy baseball columns for RotoWorld over the past few years.
This year, I have joined forces with them for their Draft Guide, contributing a ton of articles and analysis. At just $14.99, this is hands down the best way to spend your fantasy baseball dollar. I know, because I've tried practically every $8 magazine and online service out there over the years. Those magazines go to press in early December - they're mostly useless.
Projections, cheatsheets, player comments, AL/NL-only values, custom scoring, updates, feature articles, closer info, mock drafts, sleepers, busts....need I go on? The 2008 RotoWorld Draft Guide has it all. Hundreds of MLBTR readers have already purchased the RotoWorld Guide, and the response has been overwhelmingly positive.

i use the rotoworld draft guide. By far the best fantasy money ive spent. My league is a pure points league, and it allows me to customize the scoring so i can see projections in terms of my leagues points. I love it. Only bad this is that they dont have appearances as a stat option of pitchers.

Hey Tim, I ordered the draft guide and i love it! I have a question,for anyone who has an answer-Is there anyway to enter my leagues keepers to my cheat sheet so those players dont appear on the cheat sheet? It would make it much easier for me.

At only $6.99 US, you can't go wrong.

if my roto league has no salary cap, what should i set the salary cap and ratio at so that it doesnt really weigh into the customizable scoring?

Kramerica and trober, I just emailed RotoWorld for answers to your questions.

Hey guys:
I am in a NL Only League and i am looking for a NL-Only ADP. Does this Rotoworld have such a chart, cheatsheet etc. I see that it has the top 250 NL only players, but I was hoping somebody, somehwere had an ADP for NL.
Thanks

Thanks Tim.

I imagine Mock Draft Central would have all the ADPs you'd need...

RotoWorld's answer:
To the first question, the answer is if you upload your rankings to Excel you can delete the keepers. But there is no web filter.
Second issue, you can set the salaries to zero, which will you give you values based on projections.

I'd like to point out that the RotoWorld draft guide does not provide values for AL and NL only leagues. You can sort the values to show you AL and NL only players but all the values are for mixed leagues. And you definitely can't customize the values based on your league parameters.

RotoWorld's response to Jake:
To the first point in the e-mail. The baseline values are based on 12-team mixed leagues, but you can use the custom cheatsheets to get AL-only, NL-only values specific to your league size. You can customize the rankings to your league settings (NL or AL ONLY) with your leagues scoring and it will be league specific.
Second point, the customizer is very versatile. He is not specific as to what he can not customize.

Thanks again Tim

Tim thanks I have discovered the feature and I like it. Now I wished I hadn't spent another $20 to get the BP projections.

anyone want to mention who they like for sleepers in fantasy baseball this year? in my leagues(sporting news) all the cardinals except izzy, duncan, and pujols r undervalued so its awesome. i plan on taking volquez and hoping that works out. definitely boom or bust. if eveland out of oakland makes the rotation im definitely getting him. i also like balentin in seattle but he needs to get the playing time. i have no clue what to do about my midd inf spot. anyone have any good cheap ideas? i cant take a cardinal thats for sure.

I purchased the Rotoworld Draft Guild but was not a big fan. There is something about having a magazine in front of you and reading off paper. I know you can print out a bunch of reports but that costs ink and paper. I don't think I will go with this again. Just not for me. Has a lot of cool stuff though.

My league is a keeper league and it is hard to find keeper rankings. The fact that RW has both regular AND keeper rankings is great!
Posted by: Makaveli616 | March 18, 2008 at 03:25 PM
To each their own but I would never buy a fantasy baseball magazine since they are not able to change and adjust to news like web-based rankings can, and they usually have to them in late Dec./early Jan. in order to get to the press in time.
