Overall Steamer Ranks (Without Catcher Adjustment)

Yesterday I ran the Steamer hitter numbers and compared them to NFBC ADP. Today, I quickly ran Steamer's numbers for pitchers and hitters through my formula, adjusting for closer scarcity in a hypothetical 12-team NFBC league and generated an overall list. I still haven't adjusted catchers for position scarcity (or reduced DHs), so the hitters are by-the-numbers only. Moreover, I changed the dollar values for hitters slightly as I used a 66/34 split (what I discovered the NFBC drafters were using last year), rather than the 67/33 one I used last night. I also was lazy and just used last year's $293.36 that was spent on closers for this year's closer budget.

Here are the results:

Players with the biggest negative differential - (my formula's interpretation of the Steamer Projections minus NFBC ADP) are the ones Steamer likes. Players with the biggest positive differentials are the ones NFBC drafters like. Keep in mind the differentials are not all created equal as those near the top carry much more weight, i.e., Stanton's minus 7 from nine to two, is worth $9 (or at least he's $9 more valuable per Steamer projections than No. 9 player Paul Goldschmidt.) Contrast that with 189th-ranked Josh Harrison worth $4.95, which is only $5.20 more than the 267th player (his NFBC ADP) worth -$.25. Nonetheless it's worth seeing who the outliers are for both sides.

Here are the top-150 players (by Steamer's ranks through my formula) sorted from most to least Steamer friendly relative to NFBC:

Again, note the lack of catcher adjustment which is why Buster Posey and Gary Sanchez are the two most NFBC-friendly. Relief pitchers are also tricky because some of Steamer's projections for saves are a little wacky and out of step with who NFBC drafters think is likely to secure the job. Still, for hitters and workhorse starting pitchers you can see where the two approaches diverge.
