The Fantasy Baseball Sherpa

Hi everyone,

Here are the Top 10 performers through April for an AL-only 5×5 format.  The leader in each category is given 1.00 Sherpa Points; all other players’ scores in that category are based on their results relative to the category leader’s (e.g. - if the league-leader has hit 9 HR, then a player with 3 HR would be given a score of 0.33 Sherpa Points).  The maximum Total Sherpa Points is equal to the number of categories (i.e. - 5.00).

1. Zack Greinke (KC, SP) - 36.0 IP, 5 W, 0 SV, 0.50 ERA, 0.89 WHIP, 44 K, 4.00 Total Sherpa Points
2. Ian Kinsler (Tex, 2B) - 86 AB, 7 HR, 20 RBI, 7 SB, .326 AVG, 18 R, 3.51 Total Sherpa Points
3. Evan Longoria (TB, 3B) - 84 AB, 6 HR, 24 RBI, 1 SB, .369 AVG, 17 R, 3.26 Total Sherpa Points
4. Aaron Hill (Tor, 2B) - 101 AB, 5 HR, 20 RBI, 1 SB, .376 AVG, 16 R, 3.16 Total Sherpa Points
5. Kevin Youkilis (Bos, 1B/3B) - 76 AB, 5 HR, 15 RBI, 1 SB, .395 AVG, 20 R, 3.00 Total Sherpa Points
6. Nick Markakis (Bal, OF) - 84 AB, 2 HR, 22 RBI, 0 SB, .381 AVG, 23 R, 2.97 Total Sherpa Points
7. Adam Jones (Bal, OF) - 78 AB, 4 HR, 18 RBI, 1 SB, .359 AVG, 24 R, 2.94 Total Sherpa Points
8. Robinson Cano (NYY, 2B) - 93 AB, 5 HR, 16 RBI, 1 SB, .366 AVG, 18 R, 2.91 Total Sherpa Points

If you’re interested in more details, here’s a description of our In-season Updates to Player Projections & Rankings.  These are the only rankings in the industry that are updated daily throughout the season - our Remainder-of-Season rankings reflect injuries, minor league call-ups, and role changes (e.g.- new Closers)! If you’d like to see the top performers by position, change the scoring categories, or change the league type, here’s a demo of our In-season Updates to Player Projections & Rankings.

Enjoy!
