Fantasy Baseball player rankings
Since my team is in 5th place, I haven't been been throwing updates out there like I should (though Whole Camels really sucks). I am going to make note of how my points rankings compares to how the players are actually playing. My sophisticated method of allocating points will predict the MVP and Cy Young of both leagues. And if not, then they are wrong and not me.
Here are the top 10 batters by my points rankings:

Clearly Chase is far and away the MVP of the NL. Wait, this isn't the NL, this is all of MLB. Where the hell are the AL players? I have the top 10 performers, so far, all being NL players. That is pretty strange. The first AL player is Manny Ramirez at 11 with 91.5 points and then Johnny Damon at 13 with 89.1. Of the top 25 hitters, 20 of them have been in the NL. That is ridiculous.
Compared to BP's EqA, the top AL EqA is Carlos Quentin at .336,then Eric Hinske at .330 and then Casey Kotchman at .321. In the NL the top guy(s) are Chipper and Pujols at .393 (playing time is more a factor in my "system"). Then Chase at .374. Then Pat Burrell at .370. Then Lance Berkman at .355 and Furcal at .347. Next is Josh Willingham at .345 and then Soto at .337. Quentin would then be 10th in the NL. I am not sure what the heck happened to hitting in the AL.

A little less exciting there as it is evenly split between the two leagues. One thing to note is that Chase has fewer points than all the pitchers here. That is most likely due to the pitchers not really having much of an off day yet (see Webb) which tends to really hurt their overall numbers.
