Now that my beloved Philadelphia Eagles have been eliminated from the playoffs, my focus can safely switch fully back to fantasy baseball. Looking ahead to the upcoming season and the cheatsheets that will go with it, one major change has occurred already being that there will not be CHONE projections in 2011 as Sean Smith has taken a job with an MLB team. Therefore, I'm going to replace the CHONE projections with one I had not previously used called CAIRO. It seems to be a good one and they've already released their first attempts for 2011 so I'm starting to build up the cheatsheet for 2011 already. ZiPS and Marcel will likely be released later this month or early next month as well.
However, most of these projections opt to not project saves for closers so I have to input my own values there. For the sake of simplicity, I project the saves as follows:
- 40 saves for someone with a very secure job
- 35 saves for someone who has a secure job with a bit of concern
- 30 saves for a somewhat safe job with concerns
- 25 saves for someone with a closer job but legitimate concerns
- 20 saves for where there are still major questions
- 15 saves for someone with a definite chance to win or get the closer job at some point
- 10 saves for someone who could possibly take over as closer
- 5 saves for someone who will get some junk saves
With that being said, in no particular order for each tier, here is what I'm currently inputting into the projections if saves are missing:
