@smittyxi Can I ask how you use the ID Map? If I understand how you use it, it could help me plan the best way to add this other option.

[Tanner Bell @smartfantasybb]

@smittyxi I'm trying to think of the best way to do this. My rough idea right now is to add ohtansh01h, for the hitter only Ohtani. Then leave all the other IDs blank except for the Yahoo one. Thoughts?

@andrewjgargano @jeffwzimmerman I pull out the $7 and go with the $253. If you don’t, you’re going to find your values way too low on the top end players. I also think it makes theoretical sense to pull out the $7 because those stats are not directly contributing to your totals. They’re more like insurance.

[Tanner Bell @smartfantasybb]

@KenBaileyGR Ha. Was working from the older message and just got here.

[Tanner Bell @smartfantasybb]

@KenBaileyGR Hi, Ken. I think I may have recently adjusted this to be Victor Scott II. He's showing that right now. Please try refreshing your ID map (right click somewhere on that tab and select the option to "Refresh"). Please send me any others you notice!

@DiogoSantosHQ The pitching categories is can accommodate are W, K, SV, ERA, WHIP, HLD, SV + HLD, K/9, IP, and QS.

[Tanner Bell @smartfantasybb]

@DiogoSantosHQ Sorry, just seeing this. Unfortunately, I don't think the SGP tool will work for this. It does accomodate nine offensive and 10 pitching, but they're fixed. You can't just pick any category and have it work. The categories it does have are R, HR, RBI, SB, SO, AVG, OBP, SLG, OPS.

@dlight68 To use the projections at Fangraphs, yes. I think Razzball has free season long projections. Fantasy pros may, too.

In case you missed this earlier in the week. I did a video demonstration of the SGP and projection aggregator Excel files on the CBS Fantasy Baseball Today podcast.

Then it will calculate the averages from only the systems that provide a SVs projection.

I will work on a more transparent way to handle this, but this is an effective workaround.

[Tanner Bell @smartfantasybb]

Projection Aggregator tip - With THE BAT projections out but not including saves, I've had a few folks bring up this messes with the aggregation. Here's a simple tip...

[Tanner Bell @smartfantasybb]

The aggregator includes a projection system in the averaging if the category exists in the data. The problem here is there are actually zeros in THE BAT download!

Things will calculate as you're expecting if you delete the SV column or just relabel it "SVX"...

I largely stopped writing over the last couple of years and even let my website expire, but I did write an article for the 2026 edition of The Process. It covers draft-and-hold leagues. Pick up a copy and check it out. https://t.co/ZeNkFjMlHP

@CubbyNole I don't do it on a set schedule. If you're able to update the Player ID Map it can keep things pretty current. But I'll update things for errors or new players that enter the top ~750 or so of ADP. I can check that in the next several days. Do you see any issues that need fixing?
