The Process - 2019 Edition
The Process - Integrating Valuations and Biases into a Winning Fantasy Baseball Formula is written by Jeff Zimmerman (Rotographs, Sportsline, two-time Tout Wars champion) and Tanner Bell (SmartFantasyBaseball.com, author of Using Standing Gain Points to Rank and Value Fantasy Baseball Players).
The Process contains over 200 detailed pages on how to run a fantasy baseball team and over 50 additional pages of stats, projections, and useful information for the 2019 season. Some of the highlights are:
Detailed analysis of how to use industry projections and when they should be modified.
How to use the three main valuation procedures (standings gain points, z-scores, percentage valuation) to turn projections into rankings and dollar values.
Take advantage of industry biases and norms to pull as much value out of a draft and auction.
A groundbreaking study on when breakouts happen and how owners should take advantage of this information.
Pages of hints and secrets to accumulate standing gains during the season.
How to notice and use cognitive biases against opponents.
Basic Steamer projections with additional projections for pitchers just starting or relieving, hitter handedness splits, and how Colorado pitchers perform on the road.
Standings gain points equations for various league sizes (12- and 15-team) and formats (average and OBP leagues, AL- or NL-only) from major industry leagues (NFBC, Tout Wars, and The Great Fantasy Baseball Invitational).
Average league standings for the same league sizes and formats to help owners know what statistics are required to win a league and to help plan category targets for 2019.
What Are Others Saying About the Book?
After reading 'The Process', I realize I will never write a book about fantasy baseball because Jeff Zimmerman and Tanner Bell wrote the book I would have written, only way better. ~ Rob Silver, NFBC Main Event Overall Champion
There are two paths toward sustainable fantasy baseball success: 1) You have preternatural talent in scouting/projecting talent or 2) You build, maintain, and refine a winning process to maximize all the little advantages. I employ the latter path. I am not sure whether to be mad at Jeff Zimmerman and Tanner Bell for providing a cheat code to years of learnings/struggles or pleased that they will create smarter fantasy baseballers to better utilize Razzball tools/projections. I will go with the latter to increase the changes they use my blurb. ~ Rudy Gamble, Razzball, Two-time Tout Wars Champion
Most books just tell you how the author won his leagues. What makes Tanner Bell and Jeff Zimmerman's effort so epic is that it not only shows their work in every step of their own methods, it gives the reader a great sense of how they could innovate further, and how they could build their own league-winning process. This is a must-read for any fantasy baseaball lover. ~ Eno Sarris, The Athletic
This is undoubtedly the most comprehensive fantasy baseball guide I have ever come across. Jeff and Tanner are two of the smartest minds in the industry and are part of the few I make sure to read everything from. 'The Process' will provide you with long-term value and make you a better fantasy baseball player not just for the upcoming season, but for many seasons to come. ~ Mike Podhorzer, Fangraphs, Projecting X 2.0, Former Tout Wars Champion
'The Process' is one of the smartest, most comprehensive fantasy baseball books to hit the market in years. If you're a valuation fanatic like I am, you'll enjoy and devour every page of this book. 'The Process' is an essential part of any fantasy player's bookshelf. ~ Mike Gianella, Baseball Prospectus, Former Tout Wars and LABR Champion
