The guys at Talentedmrroto.com came up with a formula that, when applied to the three-year averages of player production, gave trends both upward and downward. The result is a Reasonable Expected Performance or REP.

What is a REP? Imagine a curve drawn through the three-year performances of a major league player, and stretched out to a fourth year. Rather than rely on three-year averages, this shows you where a player is going if he stays on the same path he's been. Whether the player will continue down this path, or "live up to his REP" as we've taken to calling it, is the focus of analysis for determining player values and identifying sleepers and bust candidates.

These REPs were tempered with about a bazillion years of roto experience (the guys are roto crazed, but happy), southern fried to a turn, stacked one atop the other and packaged for your consumption.

To learn more about these REPs, see that raw data customized for your type of league, auction and draft strategy, contract years, sleepers, busts, managerial changes, ballpark effects and other information designed to get your ready for draft day, check out the draft kit on www.talentedmrroto.com. If all you want are rankings, we got 'em here.

You can get many of these players more cheaply than the way they are ranked (remember they're REPed for potential, not for what round we think you should get them in), so get your average draft position out and see where they stand in a league near you, or come on over, and we'll help you out. Careful folks, as these are phattening.
