2014 ALL-CFOD Teams Below are the 1st and 2nd All-CFOD teams for the 2014 year. Players were selected according to the following formulas: BATVAL = 0.076*(RUNS+RBI)+(AB+BB)*(OBA+SBSLG-0.710)*0.109 STARTPITVAL = ((WINS+SAVES)/1.10+IP/8.56*((LN(3.82/ERA)+LN(0.710/OPS)))) RELPITVAL = ((WINS+SAVES)/1.61+IP/6.12*((LN(3.82/ERA)+LN(0.710/OPS)))) For hitters: SBSLG is slugging percentage with net steals (SB - 2*CS) factored in. The 2*CS comes from the general consensus that a player needs to steal 2 bases for every caught stealing if they're going to be effective at it. The weighting factors for sabermetric and rotisserie (runs, RBI) contributions were calculated by first setting them at their starting values (0.09 for each), then running a regression so that the sum values for the top 10 players based on initial values had equal contributions from the sabermetric and rotisserie stats. Hitters only qualified at the position where they've played the most this season, with centerfielders also qualifying in the left/right field positions if they had enough value. For pitchers: The weighting factors for more team oriented stats (wins, saves) and more individual factors (ERA, OPS against) were set to their initial values (For wins/saves: Starters at 1.2, relievers at 1.6, for individual factors: 1/10 for starters, 1/5 for relievers). I know that ERA and OPS are also influenced by fielding and park effects, but the stats are easier to understand and represent better "uneducated media awareness of success" than something like xFIP, even though they are probably somewhat correlated. A regression was also run on the top 10 starters and relievers rated by the initial value such that each group had equal contributions to team oriented stats and individual stats, *and* that the average total values of starters and relievers from each top 10 were equal. Starters are those that have at least half of their game appearances as game starts, while relievers are those that do not have at least half of their appearances as game starts. LN is the natural log function. 1ST TEAM ALL-CFOD Name POS Team P Age AVG OBP SPC SBSLG VAL AB H 2B 3B HR R RBI HBP BB K SB CS Jose Abreu 1B SFP 1b 27 0.314 0.365 0.606 0.606 37.0 622 195 31 2 49 109 124 13 42 157 2 1 Jose Altuve 2B PEP 2b 24 0.357 0.395 0.460 0.514 29.6 700 250 51 3 5 100 76 9 38 47 74 18 Troy Tulowitzki SS MEC ss 29 0.295 0.401 0.571 0.559 19.6 329 97 14 1 25 55 63 4 56 67 2 3 Adrian Beltre 3B TOP 3b 35 0.331 0.387 0.497 0.494 26.6 640 212 45 2 19 89 89 4 59 101 0 1 Buster Posey C MEC c 27 0.328 0.387 0.497 0.497 25.7 576 189 24 2 23 85 96 6 52 81 0 0 Michael Brantley* CF LAK lf 27 0.329 0.381 0.537 0.570 32.4 630 207 42 4 27 96 94 6 49 61 27 3 J.D.

Dellin Betances had the best valued season of any reliever, and Michael Fiers made the all-CFOD team on his amazing ERA and OPS value. Jose Abreu had the highest rated batting season of anyone, and fellow 1st round pick JD Martinez also made the team. Troy Tulowitzki made 1st team honors at shortstop despite having only 329 at bats. Adrian Beltre is the oldest 1st teamer at 35 years of age, while Jose Altuve and Giancarlo Stanton are the youngest at 24 years of age. The Mechan Syndicate and Lakeview Zeros tied for most 1st-team all-CFODers with 3 each.
