BATTERS: Potential undervalued and overvalued batters for 2015

Today we’ll use Ron Shandler’s principles of “Extreme Regression Drafting” to help us identify potentially undervalued and overvalued players next season.

  • Minimum of 300 ABs in 2013 and 2014
  • Minimum difference of $10 lost in R$ value from 2013 to 2014
Name                   2014 R$...
