Alright, hot sheets are about to get fun. For those of you who didn’t see it I dropped an updated ranking system on Sunday night that I think is going to give us a better chance at capturing the way prospects move in the Bowman market. Players will now move up and down quite a bit based on their weekly performances on the field. You can’t overreact to these samples in general prospect rankings but remember these are designed specifically with Bowman in mind and in that world a really hot week absolutely changes the way that people view you. Along with the ever changing rankings there will also be a ‘Buy Rating’ that is calculated by a difference in percentage between their actual base autograph value and their expected base autograph value according to my rankings. Since I’ve only extended the target autograph prices to my top 250 hitters those players will be the only ones who get a buy rating. That means that instead of having a sleepers section after the ‘Repeat Offenders’ I will now give you every player on the hot sheet at that level who has a buy rating of 4.0/5.0 or higher. Now, these are average prices per PropsectPulse so with some players it’s possible they had a few cheap auctions end and you won’t be able to get them for that price so underneath each player I will give you what my formula has as their expected base autograph price so that you can see if it makes sense for you to buy based on what’s available. Remember to use color multipliers too. If the numbers think a player is a strong buy at $5 because he should be worth $10 obviously you’d only make a couple bucks (if any) buying and selling those base autos. For those cheaper guys look for some deep color and maybe you’ll find a $50 gold auto that the expected value suggests should be $100, etc.
And away we go.
