2015 ALL-CFOD Teams Below are the 1st and 2nd All-CFOD teams for the 2015 year. Players were selected according to the following formulas: BATVAL = 0.104*(RUNS+RBI)+(AB+BB)*(OBA+SBSLG-0.720)*0.079 STARTPITVAL = ((WINS+SAVES)/0.81+IP/9.75*((LN(3.91/ERA)+LN(0.720/OPS)))) RELPITVAL = ((WINS+SAVES)/1.76+IP/5.45*((LN(3.91/ERA)+LN(0.720/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 to the top 10 for hitters. 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.

Harper's run scoring production helped boost fellow Rocklin slugger David Ortiz's numbers to #2 overall. The world champion Cincinnati Rock have their representative with 2B Logan Forsythe. Manny Machado of the Sluggers and Harper of the Thunder are the youngest 1st teamers at 22 years of age, while Ortiz is the oldest at 39 years of age. The Syndicate place 2 of their power pitching trio on the starter list, including leading starter Zach Greinke. Mechan's David Price has the highest ERA of anyone on the team at a still-very-good 2.81. Supreme setup man Wade Davis of the Pirates is the highest rated reliever with a value of 50.2, while Joaquin Benoit of the Termites led the league in saves with 37 and has the 2nd highest score at 44.9.

RY conference champions place 2 hitters in the 2nd team with Nolan Arenado and mid-season acquisition AJ Pollock. The 3rd of Mechan's power trio of pitching, Dallas Keuschel, makes the 2nd team starting pitching staff, along with Cincinnati ace Gerrit Cole. Part-season wonder Mychal Givens of the Pitbulls made 2nd team honors with only 35 1/3 innings of work. If he had been able to last a whole season he'd likely have won Fireman of the Year honors.
