After about three weeks of non stop research and projections I have came up with a formula to come up with my preseason rankings for the 2009 season. I was going to use these for myself but can't help to share them after 50+ hours of work.

Formula:
- 1/2 point each for RBI & R
- 2 points for HR
- 1 point for SB
- BA Points based off a grading list made by myself. Joe Mauer & Albert Pujols received the maximum 70 points, several players such as Adam Dunn & Rickie Weeks received the lowest at 10 points. And hundreds of players in between.
- Catchers received an additional 10 points
- Middle Infielders received an additional 5.

- 4 points for each win
- 1.5 point for each save
- 1/3 point for each K
- ERA & WHIP was done like I did BA.
- Players who have played in 140+ games in 4 straight years could receive up to 3 extra points
- Injury prone players could be deducted as much as 5.

And without further ado...here is my top 200 players for the 2009 Season......

GradysBaby13 welcome to the board and thanks for sharing.

Grady - Thanks for sharing, but I won't even look at one of these things unless I see the name "Albert Pujols" resting comfortably in the #1 slot with the #2 guy light years away.

GradysBaby,

Whose projections did you start with? I have not seen any with Carpenter winning 14 and these projections do not seem to consider Glaus injury.

These are my own projections for the '09 season
