And then

the do do do do bo-boo-t-t-t-t-t-t. Hello everybody and welcome to the sleeper and the bust. This is episode

number 175. I am your host Nicholas Minix and joining me in the absence of Einocerras who is off to cover more playoff baseball

Is Zach Sanders returning for a second time this off season we're very delighted to have him

uh... exact how are you doing today

great it's good to be here yes excellent

glad you feel that way as well

uh... just what excited to have you back on because I mean we talked a little in the

first program that you were on about valuing players and things of that nature and

we certainly had some questions about

those things since and we talked about a little bit about the end-the-season

rankings talked about certain types of players as far as keepers and things like that but you know and ended up

that we you know we got some questions about your valuation methods and things like that and

certainly I think some folks will appreciate the opportunity for you to kind of respond to those things and

but you know basically I guess there's some question as to

on the on the kind of the large scale is maybe having some issue with using Z

scores to help you calculate your player values and things of that nature and also and then also some

suggestion that SGB's or standing gain points for those who don't know and that's

the Vors McCracken method if I'm not mistaken.

My baseball and fantasy baseball history sometimes get muddled and mixed up

and gets to the point where I might be pretty sure that Bay Ruth is a

fancy baseball scientist I'm not really sure anyway so but again wanted to get into those things and, you know, I'll kind of let you take it from there.
