EP 117: YOU STILL HAVE ELIAS DIAZ?! w/ John Pausma & Doug Gruber
I had a wonderful chat with two of the best in the business. Recently inducted NFBC Hall of Famer John Pausma and on fellow sharp player Doug Gruber. Together these two guys have constantly bested their competition in both baseball and football. You find them both on top of leaderboards in various formats in NFBC. You can also find Doug's work on babsbaseball.com, where he contributes to Ron Shandlers BABS system for assessing player talent (a very useful tool in the toolbox). We talk about many things from:
draft prep
in season management
team tracking via elaborate spreadsheets
tracking the 80th percentile
watching baseball to help player evaluation
playing in 15 team leagues vs 12 team leagues
and much much more

early DC's vs closer the season
